Basically, macOS notifications.<\/p>\n<p>They are short, not taking the biggest part of the screen, and they make IMHO the process of building a macOS Install disk much more pleasant.<\/p>\n<p>Also, I found a way to give\u00a0better feedback about how far you are in the\u00a0creation of the drive, so the progress percentage means\u00a0something\u00a0<em>almost<\/em> reliable.<\/p>\n<p>Now, for the bad news: with this release, I had to remove support for older OS. It means you won&#8217;t be able to create a Sierra install disk if you are still running Mac OS X 10.7 Lion or OS X\u00a010.8 Mountain Lion. Good bye big cats! The first OS\u00a0DiskMaker X 6 will run on is 10.9 (Mavericks). So, it means that if you are still running an OS older than 10.9, you will need first to upgrade to a more recent OS before building your macOS install disk.<\/p>\n<p>As this is a Release Candidate (RC), it means creating an install disk with DiskMaker X\u00a0can be still not optimized,\u00a0you may encounter bugs, there are some parts which are not localized yet\u2026 but hopefully, you\u00a0should not\u00a0encounter\u00a0<em>big<\/em> bugs. And you still have\u00a0backups, don&#8217;t you? ^^ If you are a bit scared, wait for the final release, that should happen hopefully quite soon.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, <strong>thanks for your support for\u00a0DiskMaker X,<\/strong> and\u00a0if you want to send some feedback, please do so on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/DiskMakerX\/\">the Facebook page<\/a> or follow <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/liondiskmaker\">@liondiskmaker<\/a> (yeah, I need to change that one\u2026) on Twitter!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another year, another major release for\u00a0DiskMaker X!
