And it's pretty bad. On Mac at least. It's a crash fest. I don't recommend it. Better to wait for a more stable version. I downgraded to 6.0.3 while waiting for a stable release.

I also downgraded to 6.0.3 on Mac.

I’m still in no rush to upgrade from 5….seems they have had some issues getting 6 stable.

Yeah, it's gonna be a few more bug fix iterations... the crashing with 6.0.4 seems to only be Mac peeps. 6.0.3 is fine. But there are still a number of small issues. Wait another month or two.

What exactly is causing the crashes?

I've been using 6.0.4 on Intel today and it has not been a problem at all, I'm a basic user though!

Nobody knows, maybe the developer already identified the culprit. It seems to be a thing on Mac (Apple silicon?).

That's what I'm wondering, if it just non-Intel. I'll install it on my Mac mini today...

Edit: It's totally arsed on my Mac mini M1, had to force quit it twice before giving up. So looks like an Apple Silicon issue.

Yes, seems to be a Mac Silicon issue, as it crashes here too ... (M2 pro, Tahoe)

15.7.3 Intel. Stable.

Downgraded to 6.0.3 here as well due to constant crashes (thank God for autosaves / recover), this is running on a Apple M4 Pro with 48 GB of memory and Tahoe 26.4.1

6.0.5 is available and it fixes the Mac crashes from 6.0.4
