Fixed OpenEXR output, updated Zlib, LibPNG, LibTiff and LibJPEG to the latest versions.

Fixed some minor bugs in the GUI.

Both versions are Intel and Apple Silion (universal binaries).

Runs on BigSur (11) and later, older system versions are no longer supported.

Best regards,

Good news. Thanks again Yvo.

A little question : You say “Apple silicon” only, but what about the M1, M2, M3, and M4 in terms of code?

Does XCode automatically optimize and adapt?c

POV-Ray is a universal binary, so it is not limited to “Apple Silicon” only, but supports both Intel and Apple Silicon.

There are no specific compiler options used per CPU type (such as -mcpu=apple-m1 or -mcpu=apple-m2).

Using such options could cause POV-Ray to no longer work on older Apple Silicon chips.

Moreover, any performance gain would be minimal.
