DO NOT UPGRADE to 10.15 (Catalina) yet! I am working on an update which will be available eventually! DO Keep kJams up to date, and kJams itself will tell you when it's safe to upgrade your OS!
More info: Here's the scoop from Apple, and more details from Wikipedia.
Translation:
10.14 ("Mojave", the previous OS) fully supports 32bit. I have tested kJams on 10.14, and found it to work just fine. So even though Apple says “[32 bit] with compromises”, I have found no compromises with kJams. It will periodically tell you the app is not optimized, and instruct you to contact me. Rest assured I know about this.
10.15 ("Catalina", the current OS) does NOT support 32bit
FYI: the current 32bit kJams will continue to run on older systems, and be maintained for the foreseeable future
Windows Users
You got nothin' to worry about, since Windows continues to support 32 bit apps, and probably won't stop for a very long time.
After the 64bit transition, you will be automatically upgraded to the 64bit version of kJams.
Sorry for any confusion.
