I am looking for a volunteer to download, install and test a native arm64 version of Sigil and/or PageEdit from here:

https://github.com/kevinhendricks/Bu...OnMac/releases

Normally before a release I make a release build and then use a usb key to move it to a non-developer machine that has no Sigil/PageEdit on it to make sure my build machine makes a full build with all requirements. I have no second Apple Silicon Mac (arm64) machine to do that and creating a second user does not hide all of the libraries installed in /usr/local and etc on my dev machine.

So I am looking for someone with an arm64 Mac (M1, M2, etc) to grab my test builds, unpack them like normal and try launching them, running plugins, printing, etc just to make sure no libraries or plugins are missing and report back success or failure and what any error message said.

These builds are a sneak peak at Sigil-1.9.40 and PageEdit-1.9.40 but might be missing full translations for some languages as we are still waiting a week or so for more translations to come in.

Download either or both of:

Sigil.app-1.9.40-Mac-arm64.txz
PageEdit.app-1.9.40-Mac-arm64.txz

at the provided link.

Any help here would be appreciated so that the actual release goes smoothly.

Thanks,

KevinH
