I am on macOS Catalina, and I can happily report that it works very
well! All major functionality that I use (loading an .si4 database,
doing Stockfish analysis, connecting to FICS) all work flawlessly, as
far as I can tell.

I haven't noticed any problems with loading my ~4-million-game .si4
database from a local SSD at all; actually, based on my subjective
impression, it's maybe slightly faster than it was on Mojave. The
tree window is also not any slower than usual, not even when doing
things like re-sorting the entire list.

The buttons _do_ look a bit wonky, and for some strange reason some of the
buttons have turned into dropdown widgets, but it's not a blocker at
all.

Thank you! :)
