Hi,

Yesterday I tried to upgrade JOSM on my trusty old Apple Powerbook G4.  
However, JOSM now needs Java 6SE, which is _not_ supported on OSX  
version 10.5 (Leopard). If you own a Mac with an Intel CPU, you can  
upgrade to OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), but that is not an option for  
machines using the PPC architecture.

I had to downgrade JOSM again to version 3376, which is the end-of-the- 
line version for Mac OS X running on a PPC chip. So, if you own a  
machine like that, don't upgrade JOSM!

Cheers,
Morten
