Re: [Audacity-devel] RC1, pre-announced

[Peter S. <pet...@gm...>]

Just downloaded and installed on Macbook Pro High Sierra 10.13

1) downloaded from dmg - there is no zip there for Mac

2) launched with a left click on the Audacity icon on Applications - but
still
warned me that this was a program downloaded from the internet and was
I sure I wanted to run it.  Is that supposed to happen with your signing?

3) seems to run fine

4) MIDI runs fine - curiously though I forgot to start SimpleSynt until
after I
had launched Audacity.  But that way round MAc.Audacity played the MIDI
file without a Quit/re-launch.

5) LAME and FFmpeg libraries both found fine - and work

So sanity check looking good here on Mac too.


In the light of Steve's comments about the Audacity Development page on
Fosshub, are you planning to move the RCs there before we make the
public announcements?

Peter.
