Today is OpenCore Legacy Patcher’s 5th birthday!
On Dec 1, 2020, at exactly 12:08 CST, the very first 0.0.1 developer preview of OCLP was released to the public.
I would like to take a moment to thank khronokernel, dhinakg & all the developers!
Take a moment to read Khronokernel's (Mykola) wonderful OCLP retrospective article. You can learn more about the history of OCLP in one his last blogposts before he was hired by Apple.
