I downloaded the Sigil.app-2.6.0-Beta-2-Mac-arm64.tar.xz for my MacBook but Apple refused to open the Sigil.app saying '“Sigil.app” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Bin.'

The sha256 checksum was correct. I repeated the download and checksum and got the same rejection.

I don't remember getting that with the Beta 1. In that case it was a matter of finding out how to overcome Apple's objections to a file downloaded from the internet - not their claim that the file was damaged.

I'll get to Linux and Windows this afternoon when it's too hot to work outside.
