Will Mari 4.x be Mac compatible?
Mari has been updated to use the Qt5 UI libraries as part of our support for the 2017 VFX Reference Platform. Due to the nature of the Qt libraries, which are not created by Apple, the macOS version of Mari 4.x required more development time to ensure a quality user experience. As such, no macOS build was available in any Mari 4.x versions prior to 4.6v2. Mari 4.6v2 brings back Mac OS X support for Mojave 10.14.
