Tags: scribe | With the release of Scribe v2.3.16 I've stopped hearing about problems so I'm going to call it stable and move on. This will most likely be the last 32bit Mac Carbon release, from here on in the Mac build will migrate to 64bit GTK3. So less native than before but will still be stable and useful. If I do manage to resolve the issues I'm having with Cocoa I might look into running on that later if I get time. However because no one is really using the Mac build it's likely that I'll just stop making releases until someone wants a build.
Apple are making it harder and harder to release on Mac. It seems they are going to require notarization before being allowed to run on 10.14.6 and higher. It's unlikely that you'll be able to do with a free Apple Dev account. And I'm not about to start paying them anything. So maybe the Mac port might just die (or at least have very infrequent updates - we'll see).
In general I want to stop making 32bit releases entirely. I've already been sidelining 32bit Windows builds, only doing them on request. But maybe with Scribe v2.4 I'll finally just go 64bit only.
