if you invite me (my family is of Flemish origin and spoke Dutchā¦I didnāt understand anything when I was a childā¦) I would be very happy, but no alcohol, no cheeseā¦
It would be nice if there was also a link to the zipped Windows build.
It would also be nice if this thread remain very alive even after v.5.9 is released. All in all, it is about development versions, isnāt it?
And thereās an unofficial RawPedia page explaining how to use all these dev versions. (Note: use it with caution, as it wonāt be updated regularly)
I agree with that, but availability to the stable version should be first and foremost once it arrives.
The ability to edit this topic, at least the original post, is one of the limiting factors for me. Iām sure that @paperdigits or even one of the other admins can edit it when needed, but I do not want to burden them with something thatās my initiative. Iām not at all familiar how discourse works in that regard, maybe I can be given unrestricted time-restraints for this one specific topic.
If at all possible Iāll keep this topic up-to-date; The links to the MacOS version and when the new stable version arrives Iāll make sure it is clear that, in general, that one should be downloaded and installed.
Iām also aware that Iām not the only one that has a say in this.
Thanks for updating this @Jade_NL Jacques and co. Very much appreciated. I have adjusted the macOS packaging to allow an optional artifact with a generic name for the purpose of hyperlinking to the latest build, and adjusted the top post.
For consistency sake Iām going to remove the version numbering from the direct links. People can check the OSX site link if they want/need more info.
Now packaging macOS Universal- native on Apple Silicon, generic x86 on 64-bit Intels, in one package.
On the intel side it is now built for macOS 11; this means there is room for optimization by advancing the compiler flags to include additional common instruction sets used in Apple hardware minimally supported by 11.
I download the latest version for MacOS.
macOS_11.0_Universal_5.8-3100-g0599a5e96
If I try to run it on my Mac Mini M1 it crashes with an error
/Applications/RawTherapee\ 2.app/Contents/MacOS/rawtherapee
dyld[5087]: Library not loaded: /Applications/RawTherapee.app/Contents/Frameworks/libomp.dylib
Referenced from: /Applications/RawTherapee 2.app/Contents/MacOS/rawtherapee
Reason: tried: ā/Applications/RawTherapee.app/Contents/Frameworks/libomp.dylibā (mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have āx86_64ā, need āarm64eā)), ā/usr/lib/libomp.dylibā (no such file)
zsh: abort /Applications/RawTherapee\ 2.app/Contents/MacOS/rawtherapee
If i download the X86 version it runs fine .
macOS_10.14_x86_64_5.8-3100-g0599a5e96
How āroughā are the development versions? Iām thinking it would be nice to support RawTherapee by testing out the dev version. But thatās only feasible if theyāre reasonably stable. I donāt mind the occasional crash, so long as my data doesnāt get corrupted.
Alternatively, is it workable to move back and forth between the stable and dev versions - are the sidecars etc compatible between the two if I edit the same images on both?
The development versions are very stable. Donāt hesitate to use them!
The only downside is, they might contain some features that are being improved until the next release version.
