Mac Version ?

[Jimcamel]

Could you comment on the plans for a native Mac version ?  I'm looking to transition away from PS Producer - and it is one of the last reasons I keep a virtual machine running on my Mac....so given the likelihood of PS Producer disappearing - if I'm going to transition it would be nice to make the move to a native Mac version, as well.

 

thanks, jc

Jim,

The native MacIntosh version is well underway and will be released in beta for all users to test soon !!!

Best regards,

Lin

Is the Mac beta version any nearer? And how might I get onto the Beta programme?

Hi,

We're working on Mac version. Right now we're rewriting OpenGL code to Metal graphics according Apple's recommendations. When we finish this work Beta version will be ready.

Beta version will be available for all registered members on this forum.

Thanks, look forward to it

Any news on the release of the Mac beta version?

 

[Lin Evans]

It's getting real close - just a bit more changes then it will be ready for beta per Igor.

Best regards,

Lin

I’m looking forward to seeing the Mac version as I find Windows a real pain!

I'm eager to hear of the beta release too.  All the best to the development team who can work, hopefully, at a safe distance from one another thanks to teleworking on their computers.

(I have nothing to add, as in fact I only wanted to be "notified of replies" but did not find how? without taking part in the discussion).

Hi,

Sorry for a late response. We had an excellent progress with Mac developement past weeks. Now we're fully concentrated on Mac version of PTE 10. And I hope that Beta version for Mac will be available this summer.

Tomorrow, we'll receive a new ordered iMac 21.5" 4K to speed up the development. Also we have iMac 21.5 4K (Late 2015), Mac mini Late 2012, and my personal Macbook 12 for testing. 

PTE for Mac will require macOS 10.12 Sierra or newer (High Sierra, Mojave, Catalina). Probably it will work even on macOS El Capitan 10.11. All Macs Late 2012 or newer will be supported. PTE for Mac uses a modern Metal 3D graphics for maximum performance. 

Now I'll inform you more frequently about the development.

Today we received our new iMac 21.5" 4K. So now we have 3 Macs for PTE development and my personal Macbook 12.

We had a good progress with Mac code today.

Hi

Will the Beta version be available to anyone to test

 

[Igor]

Hi,

We plan a public Beta testing this summer. I'll post a special announcement on the forum.

[Igor]

Hi,

We have a great progress with Mac version past 6 weeks. Today I've built the first installation package (DMG) with PTE which passed all Apple's checkings for distribution of the app through our website. It means that the main code of PTE is ready. I expect a public Beta version this July or August. Now we're fixing last known problems. PTE for Mac will require macOS 10.11 El Capitan or newer.

[John BM]

I will be really interested in sharing in the beta testing

Just anxious that I miss the announcement, would be good if we could register our interest in advance so we don't miss out.

It will be posted on the forum so keep checking.
