[Qgis-user] QGIS Mac holiday update

[William Kyngesburye]

I have updarted my alternate Mac QGIS package.  So far, QGIS 3.16.2 is done.  I'll get to 3.10.13 when I can.

The big changes for 3.16 include: (I will not include these in 3.10.13)

- bump macOS minimum to 10.13 High Sierra

- Qt 5.15.  I will carry this through for the life of QGIS 3.16.  This should support macOS through Catalina and possibly Big Sur via Rosetta 2.

- GDAL 3.2

- PROJ 7.2

- I patched a few things to allow fully automatic paths for internal GRASS (app path already is, but doc path has a setting) and OTB, and external GDAL and Python frameworks.

I will work this patch into 3.10.13 so it plays nice with with 3.16 (preferences are shared between all 3.x versions and setting a path for 3.10 will break the automatic paths for 3.16).

Theory of the Universe

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarrely inexplicable.  There is another theory which states that this has already happened.
