Q: Need version update history of FCP X from 2011 with system requirements.
I used to have the Apple link detailing all the update improvements and system requirements for each version from the introduction of FCP X but I can no longer find it and a Google search has failed.
Has anyone got it?

JUst from memory the original OS was 10.8.5. 10.1 required Mavericks. Versions prior to 10.1.2 wouldn't run in Yosemite. 10.2 required Yosemite.
10.3 will probably require El Capitan and be written for Metal.
