Dear IOhannes, No, I am interested in the current build, which, according to the text of Miller’s download page <https://msp.ucsd.edu/software.htm>, should run on systems as old as 10.10 (Yosemite). I currently run Pd 0.55-2, downloaded last year from the same page, under system 10.11 (El Capitan). So a compiled Pd 0.56-0 that will run under 10.11 apparently exists, but it can’t be accessed and installed under 10.11 because of the APFS format of the disk image.
Thanks, and sorry for any confusion, Mike Green > On Jul 31, 2025, at 1:09 PM, IOhannes m zmölnig via Pd-list > <[email protected]> wrote: > > Am 31.
