macOS Mojave is my favourite release (after Yosemite). Curious to see macOS 10.15 next month.

Just to check, this version isn’t the one that’s going to break my 32 bit apps, is it?
Yes, still clawing at Adobe CS3 and old MS Office.

Nope, not yet. It is expected that macOS 10.15 will remove 32bit support. Which should be released Sep/Oct of this year.
