[L2Ork-dev] OSX version 10.8

[Albert Graef]

LOL. :)

The problem is that, as far as I know, none of us core developers owns that
kind of museum piece any more. So we can't really test whether Purr also
still *works* there. These days, the only nw.js version that gets a
substantial amount of real-life testing is 0.24.4, so the OSX 10.8 version
might be totally broken already for all we know.

But I guess that as long as we don't get any bug reports concerning that
version, we're fine.

Cheers,
Albert
