The drs_downloader user documentation (available at https://ohsu-comp-bio.github.io/drs_downloader/) currently shows:

In general, each operating system's current and one previous major version should be supported. Although the drs_downloader may work with earlier versions, users downloading AnVIL data should do so with the current or previous major version to help ensure sufficient levels of security are maintained.

macOS
I have done some system testing for macOS with both 14 and 15, and so far, the drs_downloader appears to be working fine on these. I think it is safe and appropriate to update the macOS list to:

14 (Sonoma), 15 (Sequoia)

Linux
The current and previous versions with LTS should be supported.
These are:

Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish), 24.04 (Noble Numbat)

I have not tested with 24.04.

Windows
I think supporting Windows 11 (only) is okay. If we have requests for support for Windows 10, we can look into that then.
