Doesn't work on OSX 10.9 (Mavericks)

Hello,

Looks like create-dmg doesn't work on Mavericks. Even Mavericks is like 5 years old OS, but there are some people who still using it.

One guy wasn't able to open dmg image on Mavericks 10.9.4

He sent me the following screenshot:

I will be very grateful if you can fix it.

This is already documented in the readme:

The DMG requires macOS 10.11 or later

I'm not going to change that.

Thanks for the info @sindresorhus

Will changing ULFO to UDBZ will support Mavericks?

Like you mentioned in similar Yosemite issue

Thanks @sindresorhus Appreciate your help.

Just tested both formats on Sierra. Comparing to ULFO, UDBZ is slower than dial-up :)

Don't get why is it closed. As see in sources, format: 'ULFO' but according to man hdiutil it supported by only 10.11+, what is the reason?

                      UDCO - UDIF ADC-compressed image
                      UDZO - UDIF zlib-compressed image
                      ULFO - UDIF lzfse-compressed image (OS X 10.11+ only)
                      UDBZ - UDIF bzip2-compressed image (Mac OS X 10.4+ only)
