‡ Scrivener 2.8.1: Keith Blount (the developer of Scrivener) has said that Sierra *might* be the last version of macOS to run Scrivener 2.8.x, so it *might* never run on High Sierra. 2024: v2.9 is a special version that avoids the defunct esellerate servers, and runs fine.
Some members (e.g., cdcastillo) report the 2.8.1.2 DOES work on High Sierra
