Re: [Audacity-quality] macOS Sierra 10.12

[Gale A. <ga...@au...>]

Thanks for mentioning it. It's a Gatekeeper bug, but there
are other Apple issues too as I just explained to Cliff in
the thread he started about not being able to launch
Audacity.

I am following it, though I don't experience it myself. I
thought we could fit these issues into existing FAQ's
and that would be sufficient. The problem is not
confined to 2.1.3-alpha so it won't suddenly become
worse when users upgrade to 2.1.3.
