I was only able to test it on several Debian, Raspbian, Ubuntu distributions as well as OS X (Mavericks, Yosemite, El Captain) and some Windows and FreeBSD machines.
I was only able to test it on several Debian, Raspbian, Ubuntu distributions as well as macOS (Mavericks, Yosemite, El Captain, Sierra, High Sierra) and some Windows and FreeBSD machines.
Since version 2 nearly all functionality is available for OS X/Darwin platforms. In Version 3 I started to add windows and (partial) FreeBSD support - see docs.
