I'm fine personally with 10.6.8+ being supported. But there are definitely still people with macOS versions lower than 10.6 that are interested in software on those devices (see e.g. https://github.com/mistydemeo/tigerbrew - this is not just PPC but now everything < 10.9 or something because homebrew dropped support for macOS versions lower than that) |
|
In this particular example, tigerbrew Formula is still using signal11's copy of the repo: (current master) https://github.com/mistydemeo/tigerbrew/blob/4cce1912cc68a15a0d47f5744b489ae68dfe94fa/Library/Formula/hidapi.rb |

Maybe it is time, to finally fire a new release, and it will be a last release, that supports macOS 10.5. |
|
I'm fine with this PR. MacOS USB & HID pre-10.6 always had weirdnesses and new macos adoption rate is typically very high among its users. If we're talking new releases (yay), I like to lobby for #125 being included. |

Good to update and merge this one if it has not been merged. |

@Youw Please merge this as well. Thanks. |
