CHANGES ARE COMING!
Over the years we have maintained support for computers running older operating systems, as many mission-critical servers could not be updated like the desktops and laptops users typically run.
Support for old operating systems has hindered us in some ways, and we’re ready to move forward. Additionally, the industry is moving away from TLS versions which those older systems require, greatly reducing the return from supporting those older computers.
To that end, this release 6.7.3, is the last which will support Mac OS X 10.11 or below.
Additionally, upcoming changes in our hosting will no longer offer TLS 1.0 or 1.1. At that time, computers running Mac OS 10.9 and below will no longer be able to report. We will post more about that change in a coming release note, but in the meantime, plans should be made to remove our agent from Macs running 10.9 or below.
