Rosetta 1 was around for 5 years. So maybe 2026 will be the end of Rosetta 2. We might not hear of its demise until WWDC 26, with the axe falling in September. If the discontinuation is strictly a commercial decision, maybe it stays around longer. If something technical arises in some intervening system update, Rosetta could disappear earlier and very suddenly. I doubt Apple themselves knows for sure, so I don’t expect any announcement soon. -- Dave Reiser dbrei...@icloud.com _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
