@LightBurn Today when I opened MillMage I got this message. I hope you are planning to continue supporting the Mac version.

Using Intel-based apps on a Mac with Apple silicon

Rosetta enables a Mac with Apple silicon to run Intel-based apps. Support for Rosetta will end in a future version of macOS, so check with the app’s developer for an updated version.

If you get a notification that support is ending for Intel-based apps, and that the app or a component used by the app will not work with a future release of macOS.

Yes, that’s well known. Search the forum, there are many explanations of this. See this for example: LightBurn 2.1.00 Release Candidate - #48 by Colin

That’s good to hear. I haven’t seen any reference to it for MillMage, which has been the only part of the forum I look at regularly.

Thanks

Hi
I am sorry for reviving this but despite the earlier announcement advising users to “don’t panic”, more than three months have passed, MacOS 28 will be released within a matter of weeks and we still don’t have a Silicon-native version.

Should Mac Silicon users disable automatic OS update?

Thanks

No need to avoid the upcoming update - macOS 27 is the version coming out in a few weeks, and isn’t a problem. macOS 28, which is the one that will drop Rosetta, isn’t coming out until 2027.

Oh yes. So we have time. Thanks!
