Hi all,

Good news: i just book a new MacBook pro 2015 compatible with Big Sur to be
able to build a digiKam version with the new MacOS.

I don't book a recent version of the Macbook Pro for plenty of reasons, as it's
very expensive and the touch-bar is really a pain to use to develop. Also the
2015 version is the last one where the SSD can be upgraded.

This want mean that digiKam will continue to be packaged for future MacOS
(Intel CPU only for the moment). Using Apple M1 arm CPU is too young and
certainly it will introduce plenty of compatibility problems, even if an Intel
emulation mode is provided by Apple. Supporting M1 will be planed for later,
when hardware will be available and less expensive.

So please, be patient. I will receive the new Macbook pro laptop in a few days.
I will upgrade the computer with Big Sur and start to install all dependencies
with Macports. This last stage can take a while by experience. When digiKam
will be compiled under Big Sur, i plan a set of regression tests, which will
take another long time to complete.

For the moment, digiKam still compiled on my old MacBook pro 2012 (which work
like a charm, i really like this computer). MacOS and XCode versions are the
last one for this computer (Catalina 10.15.7 and XCode 11.5).

I hope to be ready to provide a new digiKam Big sur compatible PKG for
Christmas...

Best Regards

Gilles Caulier
