Trying to find info on cross-platform support

I keep coming across some references to using TGEA on multiple platforms, but I can't find where this is actually discussed properly. Can anyone give a link?

Currently, only Windows is supported but TGEA 1.8 (coming soon) will run on Macs as well. AFAIK, there's no Linux support planned (yet?).

Two questions then:

1)How soon is soon? The project I'm looking at TGEA for probably HAS to support Macs.
2)Will 1.8 mean that any TGEA app will automatically run on OSX or will some amount of porting be required?

1. Very very soon =)
At the last IRC Hour, Matt Fairfax mentioned the TGEA 1.8 beta will be dropping within the next week.

2. Any stock TGEA 1.8 application will run on Mac OSX. If you make any platform specific engine changes yourself, porting will be up to you.
