🔄 Change from v5.3.0a1:
- "ad-hoc" code signing of the Python framework to allow it to actually run on Apple Silicon, which requires all executable code and libraries to be signed.
✅ Since I do not currently have access to an Apple Silicon Mac, it is untested by me on Apple Silicon. Basic functionality was tested on Big Sur on an Intel Mac, but no exhaustive testing has been done.
