For Mac users, we’ve recompiled the client in Xcode, so that it will run natively, more or less, on modern systems.
The traditional PPC/Carbon client is still available for v651, but unless there’s a show-stopper bug in the newer one, we intend to drop the older client for v654 or v657.

We’re sorry about that, but it’s becoming impossibly difficult to maintain the old client, relying as it does on long-obsolete development tools.

The prettier edges make some of the existing paths harder to see.
