the systemversion shows wrong version # on Mac

[Andre Garzia]

Tiemo,

This is not a bug.

MacOS Big Sur will identify itself as both 10.16.0 and 11.x. This is by design so that scripts checking for version compatibility can see Big Sur as just a minor version of 10.x

The version seen depends on both which SDK was used to compile the app, and also on the value of the environment variable called SYSTEM_VERSION_COMPAT.

Best
Andre
