Compatibility Notes
super4.x requires macOS 11 or newer (all code supporting macOS 10.x has been removed).- All
super4.x code has been refactored for style, clarity, and uniformity. As such nearly every single option name has been changed. - Most
super3.0 command line options and managed preferences are not compatible withsuper4.x - Previously saved
super3.0 Apple silicon authentication credentials are automatically migrated the first timesuper4.x runs. - It is safe to mix
superversion 3.0 and 4.x managed preferences (except for the DisplaySilently key) in a single configuration profile. However each version only recognizes the managed preference keys that are compatible for that version. - Refer to this spreadsheet (tab separated values) for migrating

Known Issues
- IBM Notifier is currently exhibiting an issue where line wrapped text is clipped when the display icon is set for sizes larger than 60 pixels. Until this issue is resolved you can use the
--display-icon-size=60option to prevent text clipping. - The Jamf Pro (Beta) Managed Software Updates workflow is not compatible with the
--install-macos-major-version-targetoption. Until this issue is resolved you can revert your Jamf Pro service back to the current macOS software update workflow.
