Morinus release 6.2.0 r03

I am pleased to announce the release of Morinus 6.2.0 r03. This release fixes a problem with displaying of Synastry result on Mac.

Result of the function Synastry looks like this:

Synastry - Morinus and test person

Morinus on Mac

About a year ago I wanted to have Morinus software on Mac (modern version), up and running. Because I like this software.

I set a few parameters that Morinus must meet on a Mac. Here they are:
  • identical functionality as the current versions on other platforms
  • Mac look and feel everywhere where it is possible and
  • software stability comparable to the versions on other platforms
Robert's support was excellent as usual. Unfortunately, I made a mistake. I thought that the end user can be fully responsible for the infrastructure installation. In other words, the user installs all the libraries and frameworks and we only deliver the program as a Python code. Stupid from me :-(

Now I have set another parameter, concretely the creation of standalone Mac OS X application. There are other more or less technical parameters and requirements on Morinus application on Mac, but they are at the moment not so important. Better say the description of these requirements is not so important . Maybe sometimes later.

We have Morinus as a standalone application and that is exactly what you get when you download Morinus dmg file.

In the next post I will describe what is included in the current release.
