<br>
MacOS 8.0.0 pre-release package arrives today in same unstable directory :<br>
<br>
<a href="https://files.kde.org/digikam/unstable/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://files.kde.org/digikam/unstable/</a><br>
<br>
Note: PKG installers are not yet compiled as Apple Universal<br>
containers. It is still an Intel binary which needs a Rosetta2<br>
translator to run on Silicon architecture.<br>
I tested with a Macbook Air M1 and the application works like a charm<br>
and is fast. I plan to port the bundle to Universal format in the<br>
future.<br>
<br>
Next one will be the Linux AppImage bundles. It will take more time as<br>
I plan to create a new Linux VM based on Debian for that.<br>
<br>
Voilà, have a nice day.<br>
<br>
