(As I understand it):

Regardless of when the code was written, the behavior will change based on
whick SDK Xojo targets at build time.

For example if you use a version of RB that targeted the 10.4 SDK and you
run the app on 10.8, the OS may cut some slack (grandfathered)

Build the same project in a newer Xojo and the OS may halt the same
operation in its tracks (e.g. for stuff such as sandboxing). Target a newer
SDK and you must play by it's rules.

When you see a release note say that an older OS version was dropped, it
probably means the SDK was changed to gain new features.

So it really boils down to what OS was targeted behind-the-scenes when the
app was built.

Hope this prevents some head-scratching.
