Originally created by @sickcodes on GitHub (Nov 15, 2021).

In the interest of keeping it simple and maintainable, the VERSION build arg was removed yesterday but I do intend to add it back as simply a mathematical bash script to determine your SHORTNAME from VERSION.

The second issue with the above granularity was that installations would be held back. And as such, I had the Monterey beta on for about two weeks longer than it should have.

I added this upstream https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM/commit/9e23a98894a22a6406d36c9025ac73759ccffae8

For beta images I will try to automate that using the Macrecovery script from OpenCore (the ultimate upstream of this project!)

If anyone wants to use a specific version they can predownload said BaseSystem.dmg(img) and use -v to overwrite the one at runtime, which I'll provide instructions for.

In any case, I hate deprecation with a passion, and will be adding back VERSION, I just wanted to get these images back out as Big Sur was installing Monterey for about a week 😂

Any general Q/A, the discord is very active https://discord.gg/sickchat
