MacOS is not 100% ready to go, but the large technical hurdles appear to be past us. Today I am working on adding OCE, which is a bit of a pain, but the massive Python packaging rework is building solidly and ngspice was just added.
If anyone is interested in helping with the macOS packaging, there are a good handful of issues in the github repository that just require someone who knows KiCad to download a dmg, install it, run KiCad, and check that something works, and maybe write a few sentences on how to verify that that feature works. https://github.com/wayneandlayne/kicad-mac-builder/issues Adam Wolf On Fri, May 18, 2018 at 9:44 AM, Wayne Stambaugh <stambau...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hey Jon, > > A really nasty bug[1] was putting rc2 on hold.
