    macOS CI for Apple Silicon (sorry, no Intel) has just landed in Meld. Does that mean there will be an official app? Yes it does! https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/meld #gnome #gtk

    I&amp;#39;ve begun the transition from custom shell scripts to https://conan.io to orchestrate the build process for my custom Python.framework build on macOS. This will power the upcoming Python integration in #siril. I don&amp;#39;t want to jinx it - there&amp;#39;s still some work left to do - but I&amp;#39;ve reached the point where it starts to feel awesome. Like, &amp;quot;these are the robots I&amp;#39;ve been looking for&amp;quot;.

    I haven&amp;#39;t seen this being shared yet: @CRogers let&amp;#39;s #inkscape shine in his 90 minute talk &amp;quot;Inkscape for Everything&amp;quot; he gave at Ubuntu Summit 2024. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96qmLfFhgYM

    @hakki The two most common choices are https://conan.io and https://vcpkg.io.

    Christmas came early this year! MacStadium is significantly increasing their investment into Open Source with a new sponsorship agreement that provides #Inkscape with access to their Orka cluster solution. I&amp;#39;ve had my onboarding today and spent some time playing with my fancy new toys. Exciting!

    Important news from @gnome: https://blogs.gnome.org/sid/2025/04/27/macstadium-sponsors-gnome-macos-ci-infrastructure/ I&amp;#39;m proud of what we&amp;#39;ve accomplished here. This helps to improve macOS platform support in the long run, which is especially important to downstream projects aiming for cross-platform support. I&amp;#39;m maintaining the infrastructure and onboarding the first projects has already begun.

    The #inkscape team called it &amp;quot;the unicode tofu issue&amp;quot; (https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/3532), because &amp;quot;something something something, broken fonts&amp;quot; was making the UI unusable on macOS for some people. With the upcoming Inkscape 1.4.3 we can finally say: something something something, we win! Spread the word, grab an artifact from https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/7627 and help us test! cc @inkscape @doctormo
