I recommend you do NOT upgrade to 10.14 when it is released, until you hear from me!
I can now say that it is perfectly OKAY to upgrade to 10.14 when it is released!


Also: the old 32bit kJams will continue to run and be maintained for the foreseeable future!
FYI: the current 32bit kJams will continue to run and be maintained for the foreseeable future!


In any case, I plan to have 64bit kJams ready to go BEFORE 10.15 is released, so you will have no interruptions! THE SHOW MUST GO ON!

You got nothin' to worry about, I will continue to support 32 bits during and after the 64bit transition.

Sorry for any confusion.
