I just tried to use KStars 3.5 for OSX on my Macbok Air (running Catalina). I found that the app seems to work when not connected to anything, and also logged into my Linux INDI server at the scope VIA WIFI.
But if I try to connect to the INDI server via Ethernet it crashes to the desktop as soon as it starts loading up the drivers.

I wasted two hours last night trying to figure out why. I rebooted everything multiple times. Every-time I try to connect (via Ethernet) it simply kills KStars.

But, if I go back and try again and connect via WIFI - it connects and starts up the INDI drivers on the Linux macj9ine with no issue.

However - even then it was unstable and crashed at random times. I couldn't see a specific cause. I couldn't waste the lively night anymore and skipped using the Mac and just used the Linux machine only.
I may try again later this week and post logs. But it is so frustrating to go from a stable version before to suddenly having troubles with 3.5.
