Bad link for downloads; Apple Silicon
On the LyX download page, I believe the link for macOS Legacy 2.3.6.2 points to the wrong place. The link is https://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/lyx/bin/2.3.6/LyX-2.3.6.2+qt5-12-x86_64-cocoa.dmg and I think it should be https://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/lyx/bin/2.3.6/LyX-2.3.6.2+qt5-legacy-x86_64-cocoa.dmg. BTW, what is “legacy?” I gather it is made using an older version of the macOS frameworks. If so, THANK YOU for doing this. My Mac refuses to break and I refuse to buy a new until it does (or Apple Silicon comes in my size) and Apple doesn’t support a newer OS so I’m stuck at macOS 10.11.6. Since we’re on the subject, what is the future of LyX on Apple Silicon? Rosetta 2? Native? Qt issues?

You ask for the meaning? https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legacy Or some name it ancient - IMO the term "legacy system" is used for old hardware or software systems.

I thought the question was about particular names/versions, but reading again seems it was not ;) Pavel -- lyx-devel mailing list lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-devel

Re: Bad link for downloads; Apple Silicon
What works, as of now, is an Apple Silicon-native build of LyX. What I unfortunately haven't cracked yet - thanks to QT - is building a universal binary.
