Mac version will need a setup to compile on.

I'm happy to volunteer as a tester for early Mac builds. I have access to both Intel and Arm Macs.

So does this mean that helix rampcases don't incur any FPS improvements over a central up/down staircase, and that we can make our fortresses as rib-structured as we'd like? Or do these have improvements for LOS as well?

[Putnam]

Helix rampcases without a central hole are significantly better than staircases, since dwarves can see up and down stairs

Actually this thread is kinda classic example about one old computer science proverb: optimizing before profiling is worst idea. Just as clear and perfect as it can be.
1%, my god, i can't belive in it.

Native Linux version seems to be working now, but thorough testing is quite difficult, so look forward to that. Mac version will need a setup to compile on.

Did you fix the concurrency issues? Are you getting a Mac mini or a MacBook Air? If you want to save some money, you might consider buying a Apple refurbished model. They look new, and I think they include the same warranty as if they were new. https://www.apple.com/shop/refurbished/mac

If you get a laptop, I recommend getting a model that includes MagSafe, such as the M2 MacBook Air. That feature has saved me a lot. I often forget to unplug it or accidentally put some force on the plug.

Is DF being ported to run on MacOS on the Apple M-series processors?  Any possibility of a general ARM port for Linux?

[Putnam]

1. maybe
2. maybe

we're not using any hilarious architecture-specific intrinsics so you don't have to worry about that

[Kiloku]

Does the Beta branch currently available on Steam include the Linux build, or will it run the Windows beta via Steam Proton?

[Putnam]

No and yes

Do hatches block line of sight?  Do glass hatches and doors block line of sight?

[Telgin]

Pretty certain they block line of sight when closed, regardless of material.
