Mac Users: Do not upgrade to macOS 14.0 Sonoma before reading this...

macOS 14.0 Sonoma was released today (September 26, 2023).  Every year, a bunch of folks immediately upgrade and then start posting here about things that don't work.  Don't be one of those people 😀 Instead, first read Norbert Kucsma's official Graphisoft article on Sonoma compatibility here:

 

https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Installation-update/macOS-14-Sonoma/ta-p/385787

 

Edit:  See Norbert's message below that 26 and 27 are compatible today.  However, it is worth reviewing the issues in the article linked above to see if they will impact you enough that you'd want to wait for the next updates to each of those versions.

 

In particular, note in the article that Archicad 23 and earlier will not even start under Sonoma.  If you are still using 23 or earlier, please do not upgrade your macOS!

Hi @Noemi Balogh ,

 

Inhale set up a new Thread and have combined AC27 and 28 Tech Preview in to the same thread, is that OK to do or do I need to split AC28 Tech Preview off in to the official tech Preview Forum?

I think that you can discuss all Archicad versions in one topic, most probably people search by OS name and Archicad version is the secondary option. We're also close to the Archicad 28 release, so it's not a problem if you post outside the group.

Hi @Barry Kelly ,

 

The release notes list several fixes for Sequoia, it lists them as relating to macOS 15.

These fixes I am told were done in the update, but just not listed in the list of updates initially (omitted by mistake), but they are there now.
