Description

With some of the recent updates the compilation process on the Mac was switched to MacOS11. There is still a considerable number of Macs out there which run MacOS10.x. The suggested "own compilation process" does have issues as outlined here https://github.com/texstudio-org/texstudio/issues/2568

By trial and error I found out that there are still older *.dmg images of older versions which probably (?) still have been compiled for MacOS10.x on this github repository, for example https://github.com/texstudio-org/texstudio/releases/download/4.2.2/texstudio-4.2.2-osx.dmg however they are not linked here in the download page https://www.texstudio.org/#download nor on SourceForge.

The request would be: Please link the most up to date *.dmg which is fully compatible with MacOS10.x.
