No, it does not ship with 0.9.7. It ships with 0.9.8zg, the absolute latest in the 0.9.8 series. It is unfortunate that 0.9.8 is shipping at all (as it has numerous issues), but Apple has removed the development headers in El Capitan so nothing &quot;new&quot; can link against it now (although apps compiled against it on 10.10 and earlier can still use it). It will be interesting to see what Apple does when 0.9.8 is officially EOL at the end of this year. They may choose to backport fixes (if necessary) or they may just ignore it until 10.12 comes out and they decide to fully remove it.
