 As with all releases, we'll do everything possible to avoid breaking API. However, there will still be tweaks that have to be made. We'll try to keep them minor. Our goal is stability, and keeping everyone's code running.
 
 
+### alpha 5
+
+* Bumping the minimum system version for macOS to 10.14.6.
+* Not new to alpha 5, but after Java 8, Oracle removed JavaFX from the JDK. Unfortunately, this breaks any Tool that uses the JavaFX library (there are two of them that we know of). One workaround would be to make the Tool launch your code as a separate Java application, using the classpath (and native library path) of the processing.core files. Get in touch if you need more input on how to do this.
+
 ### alpha 4
 
 * `EditorState(List<Editor> editors)` changed to `EditorState.nextEditor(List<Editor> editors)`, reflecting its nature as closer to a factory method (that makes use of the Editor list) than a constructor that will also be storing information about the list of Editor objects in the created object.
 
 ### alpha 2
 
-* See `changes.md` if you're using `surface.setResizable()` with this release on macOS and with P2D or P3D renderers.
-* The `static` versions of `selectInput()`, `selectOutput()`, and `selectFolder()` in `PApplet` have been removed. These were not documented, hopefully were not in use anywhere.
-* The `frame` object has been removed from `PApplet`. We've been warning folks to use `surface` since 2015, but we still should [warn users](https://github.com/processing/processing4/issues/59) or maybe provide an easy way to update code.

 * `PImage.checkAlpha()` is now `public` instead of `protected`
 * All AWT calls have been moved out of `PImage`, which may be a problem for anything that was relying on those internals
     * ~~For instance, `new PImage(java.awt.Image)` is no longer available. It was an undocumented method that was `public` only because it was required by subclasses.~~ As of alpha 4, this is back, because it wasn't deprecated in 3.x, and is likely to break too many things.

 ## Other Changes
 
+### alpha 5
+
+* The minimum system version for macOS (for the PDE and exported applications) is now set to 10.14.6 (the last update of Mojave). 10.13 (High Sierra) is no longer supported by Apple as of September or December 2020 (depending on what you read), and for our sanity, we're dropping it as well.
+
 ### alpha 2
 
-* The minimum system version for macOS (for the PDE and exported applications) is now set to 10.13.6 (the last update of High Sierra). Apple will likely be dropping support for High Sierra in late 2020, so we may make the minimum 10.14.x by the time 4.x ships.
