The Mac bug is an unfortunately slow process as it only shows when building using 10.11, which we only have in a vm. Because the bug only shows up when building on the vm and then testing in Mojave, each test takes ~1 hour of compile time. So. Much. Fun. :) We're now looking at testing the alternate approach but this is about 8 hours of regression testing spread over all MacOS versions. I have about 1-2 hours per night, max. Which is to say, there's about 1 week of testing left before the Mac version is ready. And that assumes we find no regressions. Going forward, I think we might look at an official policy of only supporting OSs that are actively supported by their originators. That would week out some older systems but reduce the testing load. We could still provide compatible binaries but with no bug fixes if they are system-specific. -S
