Why isn't it available for Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) ? This is
called "programmed obsolescence" because there's nothing to explain !

Well, that's the "free" part in "free/libre open source software" for
you: The author is free to drop support for your platform any time they
like, for any reason (or even no reason whatsoever) -- you, on the other
hand, are free to back port their changes to whatever platform you like.
Unless of course you have entered into a paid service agreement with the
man.
Have you?
I'm not saying "programmed obsolescence" has nothing to do with it, but
you're definitely barking up the wrong tree. Some small town in Santa
Clara County would be closer to the mark.

Well ... There's a solution that would be the less painful. Installing
GNU/Linux on my iMac. Because Mac OS X is the worse OS on earth. So
slow and bugged on rather old hardware. Mine is from mid-2010 ... Old !

3.7.0.x *is* for 10.6.8 or later, 32 and 64 bit.
However, the current version crashes on 10.6.8 but not on 10.7.x or later.
I will fix it.
A simple bug report or email from you would have been nicer ;-)
3.8.0.x is only for 10.7.6 or later, and only 64bit.
Current OSx version is 10.13.4, time to move on!

I tested final 3.7.0.7 and it runs under 10.6.8 nicely. I could have
sent you a private report, but so many Mac softwares are abandoning
Snow Leopard support, that I was too sad. Thanks for your support.
I can't update my Mac OS X version, because my hardware is old, sorry.
Regards,
