Apple Silicon support?

I just got a new MacBook Air, and so I was wondering when Antetype would be a universal binary. Seems to run fine with Rosetta, though.

Of course we will support Apple Silicon natively. When we received the pre-release MacMini with an Apple Silicon processor we could successfully build a native version, but had to disable F-script and CocoaScript (used for plugins), and Sparkle (used for updates).

The biggest issue we face is our usage of F-script for our plugins: looks like we have to port it ourselves which will be a bigger task. (Or remove the support of F-script … )

That would be sad to lose F-script! You’ve used it to help me several times going all the way back to the Get Satisfaction days

Are there any alternative scripting solutions you could switch to?

yes indeed.

well, we already support JavaScript, but F-script has a far deeper integration with the Objective-C-runtime. So far I only looked briefly what has to be done, I am sure there will be a solution.
