The latest versions of Thorium Builder are compatible with the all new MacOS Big Sur (MacOS 11). On a Mac powered by the new ARM64-based processor, Thorium will run in compatibility mode (Rosetta 2) , but we are progressing on the macOS Universal version that will run natively both on Intel and ARM64 Macs.
Like in every new major version, Apple deprecated a lot of internal functions (or changed it) , so there is a lot of work to do in order to be perfectly compliant with the new OS, and this is a big move for Thorium.
Because of the necessary important changes we have to do, we will work on the UI/UX in order to improve the ease of use of the TB functionnalities
Framework7 version 6 and Bootstrap 5
