Apple drops support for older versions of their OSes and tools like hot potatoes and upgrade cycles and short and fast. In fact you're *required* to build with the latest Xcode at least for iOS App Store submissions (https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=04252014a) and I wouldn't be surprised if the same becomes true of OS X with its new pricing and annual release model. We should always have the latest versions of the OSes and Xcode in CI quickly after their release (which means Yosemite and Xcode 6 next month, likely). -- Jake Petroules - jake.petroules at petroules.com Chief Technology Officer - Petroules Corporation _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
