Thank you Jacques! Remind me to buy you a drink whenever there is a Dutch RT meetup for your great community efforts.
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¦

Epic stuff 
Concise and to the point: what the doctor ordered and what the rest of us need.
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)
Done.
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.
Iāve made it a wiki post, which should make it remain editable. And also editable by others.
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.
Thanks! Makes maintenance a bit easier 
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

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 did it get the 2 in the nameā¦ perhaps more than one copy in the folder at a time. Fix that and test again please.
The 2 got in there because there has been another copy in the folder.
Removed it and now it works.
Thanks !
