Frederick, yes please post future issues that will affect future releases in the other thread. But I want to make sure that the DMG we have posted on KDE's download site is good and doesn't have any more serious issues like the Find Dialog bug or the startup crash.

One final note, I did finally have to go along with KDE/Craft's decision to switch our support from 10.13 to 10.15 as the minimum MacOS level unfortunately. Too many of the craft packages come from the binary server and were compiled for 10.15 now that they made the change. Having to rebuild everything for 10.13 and hope that it all builds without issue is problematic especially since they said that the reason they switched to 10.15 is because some newer versions of packages will no longer build properly for that version of MacOS. So sadly we will have to switch and I guess update our statement on the website that it supports 10.13 since it won't anymore

I just downloaded the dmg. Here is my results on a MacBook Pro (Big Sur)
KStars360 opens without problem and Find seems to work.
But the indi_asi_ccd keeps crashing and the indi_maxdomeii driver doesn't start

Ok, that looks like a packaging issue. This issue is much easier to deal with

Ok yes it looks like indi_asi is linked to libindidriver.dylib and in my lib folder there is a link/alias from that to libindidriver.1.dylib, but in the KStars app bundle the file libindidriver.1.dylib is there but there is no alias. I can check if that is an issue with my script or my craft recipe.

Ok I have fixed the packaging issue and uploaded a new dmg. Please let me know if there are any other issues.

Test of the latest dmg with my gear on a MacBook Pro (Big Sur)
Everything connect and work : dome, focuser, power PPBA2, scope, guider and imager.
The guider is simply looping while the imager records frames.
No problem with the Find dialog
I'm ready for further testing if needed
Thanks Rob

Very good! Hopefully it's all good now.

The Observatory button is still not showing up on latest OSX Nightly.

It's not yet enabled yet. Maybe in 1-2 weeks as we have more work to do in migrating more components to the new system.

Thanks Jasem. I tested out the latest build tonight and had success. I didn't test the scheduler, and I didn't test an automated meridian flip, but everything else was flawless.

1. No crashes all night long.
2. ASI camera never disconnected
3. Moonlite Litecrawler worked perfectly (both rotation and focus)
4. Autoguiding was smooth - stable at 0.35 to 0.4 arc seconds with the C11 using an OAG.
5. Nexdome stayed synced to the scope throughout the night,
6. AAG Cloudwatcher ran well.
7. Autofocus was quick and accurate using the new Linear 1 pass. Loved it!

Thanks everyone who's been working hard on this!

All of these issues are related only ti MacOS version or also in the Raspberry version???
