And it is also not hard to use more recent sources IIRC. I agree with Stas about OSX. It will take (a lot of) time until Apple ships 7.1 with OSX. Most developers use either a VM, homebrew or an alternative due to many outdated components. They do provide latest versions as far as I remember. All in all I think we should drop these features and also require 1.x. Cheers, -- Pierre @pierrejoye | http://www.libgd.org
