OS X – the versions and their names – as I always forget them
Posted by jpluimers on 2017/04/03
I always forget which OS X versions there are and which names they use.
So via: OS X – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, I made this list where the first item points to the table in the above article and each subsequent item to the individual article on the version. I tried to find EOL dates, but that’s hard despite the overview at Apple security updates – Apple Support:
- Versions (the table with Version/Codename/Processor support/Application support/Kernel/Date announced/Release date/Most recent version)
- Power PC
- EOL 2001324 – Public Beta: “Kodiak”
- EOL 2001????? – Version 10.0: “Cheetah”
- EOL 2002????? – Version 10.1: “Puma”
- EOL 2003????? – Version 10.2: “Jaguar”
- EOL 2005????? – Version 10.3: “Panther”
- EOL 200909??? – Version 10.4: “Tiger”
- Power PC; Intel x86/x64
- EOL 20110623? – Version 10.5: “Leopard”
- EOL 20140226? – Version 10.6: “Snow Leopard”

I don’t know for sure, but hope it is supported.
