Crashes on old, unsupported Mac hardware

[L3337]

There are some crashes that may happen when you are running Stargate DAW on older Mac hardware, such as Core2 era Intel Macs that are hacked to run Catalina. The following are known:

• When checking for updates
• When trying to use the Paulstretch time stretching algorithm

The root cause is that we get certain software libraries from public sources such as Homebrew, Pypi, etc... and that these repositories are not targeting the earliest Intel Macs. As such, you may get illegal instruction crashes when the library attempts to use an instruction not supported on your hardware.

The fix is that we would have to setup the build machine with every library compiled ourselves, targeting the original Core2 Macs, which is a daunting task, especially for Qt, Python and all of their many dependencies. If there is sufficient demand, we will consider doing so, otherwise the intention is to ride out current MacOS support for Intel Macs as-is, until it eventually becomes time to deprecate Intel Mac builds.
