<P> There are 34 system languages available in macOS for the user at the moment of installation; the system language is used throughout the entire operating system environment . Input methods for typing in dozens of scripts can be chosen independently of the system language . Recent updates have added increased support for Chinese characters and interconnections with popular social networks in China . </P> <P> macOS can be updated using the Mac App Store application or the softwareupdate command line utility . Until OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, a separate Software Update application performed this functionality . In Mountain Lion and later, this was merged into the Mac App Store application, although the underlying update mechanism remains unchanged and is fundamentally different than the download mechanism used when purchasing an App Store application . </P> <Table> Mac OS X, OS X, and macOS version information <Tr> <Th> Version </Th> <Th> Codename </Th> <Th> Darwin version </Th> <Th> Processor support </Th> <Th> Application support </Th> <Th> Kernel </Th> <Th> Date announced </Th> <Th> Release date </Th> <Th> Most recent version </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Rhapsody Developer Release </Td> <Td> Grail1Z4 / Titan1U </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 32 - bit PowerPC </Td> <Td> 32 - bit PowerPC </Td> <Td> 32 - bit </Td> <Td> Unknown </Td> <Td> August 31, 1997 </Td> <Td> DR2 (May 14, 1998) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Mac OS X Server 1.0 </Td> <Td> Hera </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Unknown </Td> <Td> March 16, 1999 </Td> <Td> 1.2 v3 (October 27, 2000) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Mac OS X Developer Preview </Td> <Td> Unknown </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> May 11, 1998 </Td> <Td> March 16, 1999 </Td> <Td> DP4 (April 5, 2000) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Mac OS X Public Beta </Td> <Td> Kodiak </Td> <Td> 1.2. 1 </Td> <Td> Unknown </Td> <Td> September 13, 2000 </Td> <Td> N / A </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Mac OS X 10.0 </Td> <Td> Cheetah </Td> <Td> 1.3. 1 </Td> <Td> Unknown </Td> <Td> March 24, 2001 </Td> <Td> 10.0. 4 (June 22, 2001) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Mac OS X 10.1 </Td> <Td> Puma </Td> <Td> 1.4. 1 / 5 </Td> <Td> July 18, 2001 </Td> <Td> September 25, 2001 </Td> <Td> 10.1. 5 (June 6, 2002) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Mac OS X 10.2 </Td> <Td> Jaguar </Td> <Td> 6 </Td> <Td> 32 / 64 - bit PowerPC </Td> <Td> May 6, 2002 </Td> <Td> August 24, 2002 </Td> <Td> 10.2. 8 (October 3, 2003) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Mac OS X 10.3 </Td> <Td> Panther </Td> <Td> 7 </Td> <Td> 32 / 64 - bit PowerPC </Td> <Td> June 23, 2003 </Td> <Td> October 24, 2003 </Td> <Td> 10.3. 9 (April 15, 2005) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Mac OS X 10.4 </Td> <Td> Tiger </Td> <Td> 8 </Td> <Td> 32 / 64 - bit PowerPC and Intel </Td> <Td> 32 / 64 - bit PowerPC and Intel </Td> <Td> May 4, 2004 </Td> <Td> April 29, 2005 </Td> <Td> 10.4. 11 (November 14, 2007) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Mac OS X 10.5 </Td> <Td> Leopard </Td> <Td> 9 </Td> <Td> 32 / 64 - bit PowerPC and Intel </Td> <Td> June 26, 2006 </Td> <Td> October 26, 2007 </Td> <Td> 10.5. 8 (August 5, 2009) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Mac OS X 10.6 </Td> <Td> Snow Leopard </Td> <Td> 10 </Td> <Td> 32 / 64 - bit Intel </Td> <Td> 32 / 64 - bit Intel 32 - bit PowerPC </Td> <Td> 32 / 64 - bit </Td> <Td> June 9, 2008 </Td> <Td> August 28, 2009 </Td> <Td> 10.6. 8 v1. 1 (July 25, 2011) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Mac OS X 10.7 </Td> <Td> Lion </Td> <Td> 11 </Td> <Td> 64 - bit Intel </Td> <Td> 32 / 64 - bit Intel </Td> <Td> October 20, 2010 </Td> <Td> July 20, 2011 </Td> <Td> 10.7. 5 (September 19, 2012) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> OS X 10.8 </Td> <Td> Mountain Lion </Td> <Td> 12 </Td> <Td> 64 - bit </Td> <Td> February 16, 2012 </Td> <Td> July 25, 2012 </Td> <Td> 10.8. 5 (12F45) (October 3, 2013) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> OS X 10.9 </Td> <Td> Mavericks </Td> <Td> 13 </Td> <Td> June 10, 2013 </Td> <Td> October 22, 2013 </Td> <Td> 10.9. 5 (13F1112) (September 18, 2014) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> OS X 10.10 </Td> <Td> Yosemite </Td> <Td> 14 </Td> <Td> June 2, 2014 </Td> <Td> October 16, 2014 </Td> <Td> 10.10. 5 (14F27) (August 13, 2015) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> OS X 10.11 </Td> <Td> El Capitan </Td> <Td> 15 </Td> <Td> June 8, 2015 </Td> <Td> September 30, 2015 </Td> <Td> 10.11. 6 (15G31) (July 18, 2016) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> macOS 10.12 </Td> <Td> Sierra </Td> <Td> 16 </Td> <Td> June 13, 2016 </Td> <Td> September 20, 2016 </Td> <Td> 10.12. 6 (16G29) (July 19, 2017) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> macOS 10.13 </Td> <Td> High Sierra </Td> <Td> 17 </Td> <Td> June 5, 2017 </Td> <Td> September 25, 2017 </Td> <Td> 10.13. 6 (17G65) (July 9, 2018) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> macOS 10.14 </Td> <Td> Mojave </Td> <Td> 18 </Td> <Td> June 4, 2018 </Td> <Td> Autumn 2018 </Td> <Td> 10.14 Developer beta 9 (18A377a) (August 27, 2018; 2 days ago (2018 - 08 - 27)) (±) </Td> </Tr> </Table> <Tr> <Th> Version </Th> <Th> Codename </Th> <Th> Darwin version </Th> <Th> Processor support </Th> <Th> Application support </Th> <Th> Kernel </Th> <Th> Date announced </Th> <Th> Release date </Th> <Th> Most recent version </Th> </Tr>
