Hi Pete, > I’m still on the early version of Monterey because of the python issue, but > I’ve been > wanting to upgrade the OS. I will proceed with caution and advise how it goes. I was able to test the CAVE install on 12.6.3 and don't see why there should be any problem with other versions of Monterey. If we're able to gain access to a Ventura machine, I will let you know how testing goes on it, however, I don't see any other big holdups with the Mac, unless it will somehow disallow the use of Pytho3.6. (This is a very small possibility in my mind right now, but 3.6 is no longer supported by Python, so I could see it as a possibility). We are also hoping to move off of 3.6 (to a newer, still supported version of 3), so this work is not yet finished and still in progress. > A big thank you to you and team for this upgrade. I feel like today in > Christmas ! Glad to hear it. Sorry it took so long, this version had many unanticipated problems with the initial Mac build. Hopefully development will for the Mac will be smoother from here on out.
