I'm fine personally with 10.6.8+ being supported. But there are definitely still people with macOS versions lower than 10.6 that are interested in software on those devices (see e.g. https://github.com/mistydemeo/tigerbrew - this is not just PPC but now everything < 10.9 or something because homebrew dropped support for macOS versions lower than that)

In this particular example, tigerbrew Formula is still using signal11's copy of the repo: (current master) github.com/mistydemeo/tigerbrew@4cce1912cc/Library/Formula/hidapi.rb

Maybe it is time, to finally fire a new release, and it will be a last release, that supports macOS 10.5.

I'm fine with this PR. MacOS USB & HID pre-10.6 always had weirdnesses and new macos adoption rate is typically very high among its users.

If we're talking new releases (yay), I like to lobby for https://github.com/libusb/hidapi/pull/125 being included.
