Dear all,
Happy new year !
Spat version 5.2.1 for Max/MSP has been released.
In this version, some Intel-specific code has been removed/replaced, so that external objects are (supposedly) compatible with Apple M1 computers running with Rosetta.
This is NOT a native M1-build, but this Intel version can be properly translated by Rosetta,
so that it loads runs without crash. Thanks to @ctrapani and @romboutwillems for early testing.
Regarding CPU performances:
- on Apple M1, the performances wont be optimal because of Rosetta translation.
Hopefully it’s still good enough for standard usages.
Native M1-build with full optimization is planned for the coming weeks/months. - on Intel-based architectures, the performances might marginally vary compared to previous spat5 versions.
Some objects run slightly faster, and some slightly slower.
On average, it should not make a significant difference.
Please send feedback if you notice something really unusual.
Finally, please note that macOS 10.9 is now the minimum requirement.
Also, please read this thread regarding installation, troubleshooting, and bug reporting guidelines.
Enjoy,
T.
