How to Check Which OpenCore or macOS Version an OpenCore Configurator Release Supports
Updated
Open the OpenCore Configurator changelog entry for the release you are considering and read the "What's New" line directly under the version number. On mackie100 projects, each OpenCore Configurator changelog post states the supported OpenCore version in that line (for example, "OpenCore 1.0.8 supported"), and the post date tells you how current that support is. macOS compatibility is only mentioned when a release fixes a specific macOS bug, so treat the OpenCore version as the primary compatibility signal and the macOS note as an additional, occasional one.
Where the information lives
The site publishes one changelog post per release, filed under "OpenCore Configurator Changelog." Each post follows the same pattern:
- A title with the version number, e.g. "OpenCore Configurator Changelog version 2.78.2.0"
- A "What's New in Version X" line with the release date
- A short bullet or sentence naming the supported OpenCore version
- A "Download here" link
Because the supported OpenCore version is written in the body text rather than a separate compatibility table, you read it from the post itself, not from a spec sheet.
Reading the version mapping
The changelog entries on the site show this pattern:
| OpenCore Configurator version | Post date | Stated support |
|---|---|---|
| 2.78.2.0 | Apr 20, 2026 | OpenCore 1.0.8 supported |
| 2.78.1.0 | Aug 29, 2025 | OpenCore 1.0.6 supported |
| 2.78.0.2 | Apr 12, 2025 | OpenCore 1.0.5 supported |
| 2.78.0.0 | Mar 9, 2025 | OpenCore 1.0.5 supported |
| 2.77.1.0 | Nov 20, 2024 | OpenCore 1.0.3 supported |
| 2.77.0.0 | Oct 15, 2024 | OpenCore 1.0.3 supported |
Two things follow from this. First, the Configurator version number and the OpenCore version number move independently — a small jump in the Configurator version can still mean a new OpenCore target. Second, the same OpenCore version can appear in more than one Configurator release (1.0.5 appears in both 2.78.0.0 and 2.78.0.2), so the newest Configurator is not automatically required for a given OpenCore build.
Matching a release to your setup
- Note the OpenCore version you are running or plan to install.
- Scan the changelog list for the newest post whose "What's New" line names that version or a later one.
- Check the post date. If the entry is old relative to your OpenCore build, a newer Configurator release likely exists further up the changelog.
- Open that post and use its "Download here" link to get the matching build.
If your OpenCore version does not appear in any entry, the site's changelog does not document support for it — do not assume compatibility from a nearby version number.
What about macOS compatibility?
macOS mentions are rarer and narrower than OpenCore mentions. In the entries shown, the only macOS-specific note is Clover Configurator 5.28.0.1 (Apr 12, 2025), described as fixing "critical bug in macOS 15.4." That is a Clover tool, not OpenCore Configurator, and it describes a bug fix rather than a supported macOS range. For OpenCore Configurator, the changelog does not list macOS version requirements, so you cannot confirm macOS compatibility from these posts alone — the OpenCore version line is the only compatibility statement the site provides.
Practical cautions
- The changelog is a release log, not a compatibility matrix. Absence of a macOS note does not mean a release is incompatible with your macOS version; it means the site did not state anything about it.
- Dates matter. An entry naming your OpenCore version but published many months ago may have been superseded; check whether a later post names a newer OpenCore version before settling on the older download.
- The site lists PayPal among its payment signals, but the changelog posts themselves present downloads through "Download here" links without stated pricing or login requirements in the excerpt — verify on the actual post page before assuming access terms.
