Newest version does not work on macos 10.15, despite indication

The current version of Zed does not work on MacOS 10.15, despite the download page saying so. I had the displeasure of finding out after my Zed install autoupdated to a version (1.27) that is not usable by my macos 10.15 computer (whereas the 1.26.2 worked fine).

Please make it consistent again :) If most recent versions of Zed cannot be launched on older mac machines, please say so. Then I ll have to dig into older versions.

Thank you

Thank you for the feedback.
Would you be able to share more details on how does it not work?
Logs, behavior description, anything else you could share.

It does not work because it is not meant to. I just read in the release notes for the 1.27 version that macos 10.15 is no longer supported. That's ok, but...

1. the download page still says it would work with my macos version, 10.15
2. the autoupdate process is able to download a version that is supposed not to work with my OS version. Which is pretty annoying and disturbing.
3. anyway, i am probably a very isolated case, so... I am going to stick with the older version.

Thanks for reading me :)

1. Thanks for the pointer, filed a PR to update that to 12.0
2. Sorry for that, we do not have a dedicated version check indeed, but https://zed.dev/docs/update?highlight=update#how-to-control-update-behavior should help to disable auto updates at least
3. Thank you for understanding!
