Both versions run on system 10.9.5 and later, Intel and Apple Silicon (M1).

These are universal binaries.

I have compiled these versions for myself but may as well share them

with those interested.

There is a report that your 3.8.0 beta 2 has no EXR capability.  Could you

please check that?  If this is indeed the case, could you please check that the

OpenEXR *developer* library is installed on your system?  I know from experience

that POV-Ray will compile cleanly on GNU/Linux with the EXR and SDL libraries

missing, and it may be the same on the Mac.

I suspect your 3.7.0.9 may also have the same omission.

EXR has been implemented; all features of the official version have been implemented, and the file format can be selected in the output pop-up.
However, due to a small error in the project, EXR does not work as expected.
I will make a new version available in one of the coming days in which it works properly, for both the 3.8 version and the 3.7 version.
I just need to make sure that everything works on at least Ventura. Moreover, I am no longer actively working on my version of POV-Ray for Mac, although I do try to keep the project up to date.
I will post a message as soon as they are available.

Please use only the website https://povrayunofficial.wordpress.com.
The site http://megapov.inetart.net/povrayunofficial_mac/ is outdated, but I am unable to remove it. The person who made it available for us can no longer be reached, and my password is no longer active :-(.

To avoid any misunderstandings: for my version of POV-Ray, no libraries (OpenEXR, Boost, etc.) need to be installed on your Mac. All required files are included in the project and in POV-Ray itself.
