Anouncement: older OS deprecated

Recent changes will make old operating systems unsupported. These changes are due to better memory management. So we are going for c++111 or rather c++14.
This will leave all Windows 9x and Windows 2000 behind. Also OS X below 10.7 (which leaves the PowerPC arch completely in the dust).

Windows 9x left full support in 2003 and extended support in 2006.
Windows 2000 left full support in 2005 and extended support in 2010.
OS X 10.6 was last patched in 2013.
I don't see a problem here.

As far as Mac goes, its just PPC going away finally. 10.7 was the end of the line for my first gen 2006 Mac Pro, so that will at least keep all the Intel Macs going. And lets face it, anyone still using a PPC, is probably doing it for some sort of business running software they just can't get anymore. They probably aren't interested in playing Ultima on them at this point.
The older releases that still work on them never stopped you from finishing either game if they really need to..
