[MacRuby-devel] [MacRuby] #217: Pretty-Preeze wizard me up a Tiger version

[Jordan K. Hubbard]

That is correct.  This, and other compatibility factors, are likely to  
prevent this from ever getting back-ported to Tiger.  Seeing as how  
Tiger was released in 2005 and, in April, will be 4 years old, I also  
don't think it's likely that anyone will see a big win on even  
spending time on the problem.  Perhaps SnowLeopard will prove  
compelling enough to finally spend a little money on an upgrade. :-)
