<p>I tested this build with our application on macOS 15.2 ARM and it worked perfectly fine. There were a few small color differences looking at it, but I see in the tracker that is already a known issue. Our application doesn't use any advanced rendering features
where performance is critical, so I can't say anything about the performance difference. For the normal basic user interface, it felt the same as before.<br>
<br>
