Hi Phil,

we do still support TLS 1.0 at the moment. So, Safari 5.1.10 can still open https://squeak.org/ [https://squeak.org/].

For more detailed compatibility information (OS, Web brower, ...), visit: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/ [https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/]

Best,
Marcel

Hi Phil,

so, you have Firefox version 48 installed in OS X (10.6)?

Best,
Marcel

I ran into this issue and wasn't sure if it was intentional or not: I was attempting to get to squeak.org [http://squeak.org] from an old version of OS X (10.6) and neither Firefox or Chrome versions for Snow Leopard are able to render even the main page.  Firefox hangs and Chrome reports ERR_SPDY_INADEQUATE_TRANSPORT_SECURITY.

While I appreciate that supporting the latest and greatest from an SSL standpoint (assuming that's what's going on) is a good thing, it seems overkill to prevent older systems from using the site.  Most other sites large and small still work with both browser versions I tried from at least a basic HTML standpoint... Javascript support is less consistent.

For now I'll just switch to a different system to get what I need but thought it was worth reporting.
