At the WWDC Apple announced today that macOS 26 Tahoe will not be able to be installed on some 2019 and 2020 Intel Mac's and next year's macOS27 will be the last year of support for the remaining Intel Mac's.

Surely it is time that BricsCAD releases an AS version.

Could we please get an update on progress for the AS version.

    We are working on a native build for Apple Silicon, but we can't tell when we will be able to deliver it.

    Yeah very lame, that has been BricsCAD's response for the past 3 years. BricsCAD needs to get with the program. Every other major CAD vendor offers A.S. native versions. Extremely disappointed!

    will be the last year of support for the remaining Intel Mac's.

    Which was to be expected already since - from now - exactly 5 years ago - wow.

    and next year's macOS27 will be the last year of support …..

    But I read there will be another 3 years of security fixes for macOS 27.

    So Bricscad has at least 4 more years until an AS-only version is needed/mandatory. I have kept my old Intel Trash Can Mac Pro in the cupboard any way, in case one day I will need it again.

    But I am more concerned about Bricscad's drawing viewport graphic or large file data performance on all platforms. Or feature parity for the non-Windows platforms.

    Good to hear that there is a native AS build in progress.

    Also read today that Rosetta 2 will be only supported to macOS 27 (next year's operating system) so BricsCAD will need to be an AS build by V27 or else it would not run on the latest Mac operating system.
