Compatibility with MacOS Silicon
-
@Hockeyflyer7 this is not correct triplea is a universal app it will continue to work in mac os 27 and beyond unless they deprecate java support
-
@ubernaut is correct because TripleA is not a native mac application. TripleA runs on a Java virtual machine. The Java virtual machine is the thing that is the native application. It's a key feature of Java, the code runs on any Java virtual machine, instead of each codebase having to take into account the specifics of a native app, it's only the virtual machine that needs to do that.
With that said, there are quirks even within that "universal" virtual machine, notably for Mac OS. Not all operating system features are universal nor have the same behavior, hence 'quirks'

I believe that I am correct, you can see Apple's website about the compatibility of apps and then my screenshot below (if it loaded correctly:
https://support.apple.com/en-us/102527#updateI viewed TripleA's info and it appears to be an Intel-based app, as shown at the top of the "General" section.

Seems the installer is actually a native app.
Here is our config for future revisions:
-
We use 'install4j' to create the DMG installer.

@Hockeyflyer7 appreciate the concern and raising this as a potential issue. I think the bottom line is that 2.5 is now ancient. Seems the very latest will not have this issue.
-
@LaFayette thanks for the info!
-
@LaFayette u see my tag about how you cant really find the 2.7 download now?
-
@ubernaut yes. Having moving pieces that all need to be changed in order to release is further delaying that very release.
-
@LaFayette gotcha i think we should add a downlink link to the menu/sidebar here at some point as well
-
@ubernaut Sorry, which sidebar?
-
@LaFayette down at the bottom doesnt show up on all pages
-
@ubernaut Gotchya, the link to the website has a download button on it. Does it really need to be called out as a "download" link? Or, do we really need to add another link for downloading? I'm a bit concerned about redundancy & clutter; less is more.
-
@LaFayette i feel it needs to be clearer if there are not 2 distinct links do we even maintain the facebook page? axis and allies links seems little dubious as well now that i think about it
