Description
Running the current version of the client gives this error:
[Keybase error]
This version of OS X isn't currently supported
https://www.dropbox.com/s/2zsubqzdkx0qw5n/Screenshot%202016-08-17%2008.44.47.png?dl=0
Command-I on Keybase.app indicates this is the version: 1.0.16-20160803190018+268b023
After this failure, I triedbrew install keybase which installs the console client fine. Maybe the error message could redirect to http://brew.sh/ or http://braumeister.org/formula/keybase ?
I tested these brew installs fine:
- https://homebrew.bintray.com/bottles/keybase-1.0.16.mavericks.bottle.tar.gz
- https://homebrew.bintray.com/bottles/keybase-1.0.17.mavericks.bottle.tar.gz
I've tested keybase login with 1.0.17 from brew and that works fine.

Research direction
Reproduce the Yosemite failure with the reported Keybase.app version and compare it with the working Homebrew 1.0.16/1.0.17 clients. Then locate the app’s OS X version-support check; done means Yosemite is handled correctly or the error clearly directs users to the supported Homebrew path, with a regression check for the chosen behavior.
