ok,

this drawterm is working fine for me now.

the cocoa build fails to start, not even prompting me for secstore passwords.

the metal build works with a small match (bodge?) applied, and i backported the 
/dev/secstore change from an old drawterm i have here.

i assume /dev/secstore was removed as it is bad security practice - which is 
true. i added it back under the -S option so it is not the default.

NB to be really sure your secrets have gone i suggest you have “cp /dev/null 
/mnt/term/dev/secstore” in your profile - overwrite them rather than just 
truncating the file.

i have submitted pull requests on github for these changes.
