Mac DMGs for 0.30.5

[Kazzz-S]

Dear @klayoutmatthias,

Thank you for making the new release.
As usual, different DMG packages of KLayout 0.30.5 for Mac are available as described below (0.30.5 Dropbox Link).
This version includes the first ARM64 native DMGs.

DMG file naming convention

where
(a) Type of package: ST-:standard; LW-: lightweight; HW-: heavyweight
(b) KLayout version
(c) Target OS
(d) Package serial number
(e) Qt[5|6] type: qt5MP: MacPorts; qt6Brew: Homebrew; qt6Ana3: Anaconda3 (conda-forge)
(f) Ruby type: sys: OS-bundled; mp34: Ruby3.4 from MacPorts; hb34: Ruby3.4 from Homebrew; ana3: Ruby3.4 from Anaconda3 (conda-forge)
(f) Python type: sys: OS-bundled; mp313: Python 3.13 from MacPorts; hb[313|311]: Python 3.[13|11] from Homebrew;
ana3: Python3.13 from Anaconda3
(g) If it exists, the DMG is ARM64 (Apple Silicon)-native.

Bypassing Gatekeeper on your own Mac

These KLayout application bundles are neither code-signed nor notarized.
Therefore, if Gatekeeper blocks the application, you can bypass it manually in one of the two ways :
[ChatGPT]
1️⃣ Allow Running the App via Finder

1. After installing the app, try opening it.
2. macOS will show a warning:
   “[App Name] can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.”
3. Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security.
4. Scroll down to Security and you should see an option:
   🔹 “[App Name] was blocked from opening because it is not from an identified developer.”
5. Click "Allow Anyway" and try running the app again.

2️⃣ Using xattr to Remove Quarantine Attribute
If macOS keeps blocking it, run this command in the terminal:

xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/klayout.app

For the primary platform, macOS Sequoia (15.7.2)

Five macOS DMGs for Sequoia are available.

I'd propose splitting macOS DMGs into two groups as shown below.

Please keep this ticket open for a while after publishing the DMGs to gather community feedback.
With warm regards,

Hello @klayoutmatthias,

I want to recreate all DMGs, so please wait until my next announcement to upload them to the server.
I'll also update PR #2212.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Kazzz-S

[klayoutmatthias]

No worries. Take your time. I need to change the setup in general to accommodate the new structure anyway.

Thanks,

Matthias

Hello @klayoutmatthias,

I recreated all the DMGs. Their file names remain unchanged.
The new Dropbox links are as follows:

• x86_64: 5 Sequoia and 5 Sonoma DMGs
• arm64: 3 Tahoe DMGs

Please also accept the PR.

Thank you.
Kazzz-S

[klayoutmatthias]

Thanks for reminding me to accept the PR. Sorry for the delay.

I reason it's enough download the x86_64 dropbox archive as it contains ARM64 in a subfolder. Correct?

I placed the new DMGs on the server with a description I obtained from your documentation and separating between ARM64 and x86_64. Maybe you can check if that fits.

Thanks and best regards,

Matthias

Thanks for reminding me to accept the PR. Sorry for the delay.

I confirmed this. Thank you.

I reason it's enough download the x86_64 dropbox archive as it contains ARM64 in a subfolder. Correct?

Your understanding is correct. The ARM64 link is for confirmation.

I placed the new DMGs on the server with a description I obtained from your documentation and separating between ARM64 and x86_64. Maybe you can check if that fits.

I checked the new grouping and it's perfect.

Best regards,

[klayoutmatthias]

Many thanks for your hard work! I fixed the typos and files are on the server.

I'll leave the ticket open as requested. Let me know if you feel it can be closed.

Best regards,

Homebrew recently updated Python3 to 3.13.10. Now, the DMG No. 262 is usable.
Please add it to the server; you don't need to make an announcement.

@klayoutmatthias

I’d like to withdraw my previous comment, as the behavior has improved but is still unstable.
Sorry for the confusion and any inconvenience this may have caused.

Homebrew released Python 3.13.11, but pip3 still crashes. Hence, we cannot set up a virtual environment.
