It’s becoming more and more difficult for me to test and maintain backwards compatibility with HDPVRCapture and OSX 10.4. The current shipping version v2.5.7 supports 10.4. 10.5 and 10.6. The test matrix that I go through for Intel, PPC 10.4, 10.5 and 10.6 is getting out of control and I need to to get it back into a reasonable shape – meaning I can get releases out to you much sooner.

So, I’m sorry to say, v2.6.0 will be the last release to support 10.4. Versions v2.6.1 or higher will have no 10.4 support.

Drop me a note if this is a particular problem for you, I’m always interested in your feedback!

The IR test controls in the preferences panel have been disabled and scheduled for removal for quite some time. They’re now gone, which helps avoid confusion and support issues with new customers. Also fixed a bug that (hopefully) prevents HDPVRCapture from crashing on startup when EyeTV is also installed in the system.
