Current Mac development status

Post by Moonchild » 2017-03-15, 10:47

Hello Mac users!

I've been talking with Sugis about the current status of a Macintosh release, looking to see if things could be made official, but he doesn't have enough time to work through the outstanding issues with the Macintosh version of Pale Moon to dedicate to an official release.

So the current Mac development status and progress should be considered experimental, for advanced users only.
This also means it won't get Official branding while in this state because it won't be ready for official releases.

Sugis has said he may get more time in 6 months or so, but no guarantees.

If anyone else wants to help him work through the issues, they are welcome to volunteer :) Knowledge of C++, CSS, JavaScript and developing classic applications on Mac required. Pre-existing knowledge of XUL and widget programming as well as graphic design experience is a bonus.
