❌ Not compatible with Sierra (10.12)
This release is not compatible with macOS Sierra (10.12). According to the Karabiner site as of January 2017:
Karabiner does not work on macOS Sierra at the moment.
We are developing Karabiner-Elements which provides simple key modification for macOS Sierra at first. ... We'll start updating for the full featured Karabiner for Sierra after Karabiner-Elements is completed.
pqrs-org/Karabiner-archived#660 (comment) provides additional context on the breaking changes in macOS Sierra:
macOS 10.12 changes of the generic keyboard and mouse drivers made a great impact on Karabiner and Seil. We should make a large changes in Karabiner and Seil architecture. There is not a workaround for this issue.
Please wait an update of Karabiner and Seil for macOS 10.12. (It may take a long time.)
For Sierra support, see v2.0.0, which removes the dependency on Karabiner and Seil, and instead depends on Karabiner-Elements and Hammerspoon.
