OK, I quickly tested the Mac 32 and 64 bit versions, installing some code, running unit tests, clicking around. Both are working perfectly.

The Pharo Welcome window with the clickable coloured links and the tabs is particularly nice.

The need to move to /Applications is just one thing, you also have to allow the app to actually run (with my settings, by right clicking on it, and giving permission; but even then it stops the first time and only runs the second time; no big deal for me but it might be confusing for others).

I am looking into signing… but as we did not have it for Pharo5, it should not hold up the release.

The /Applications thing is related to signing, too. (the container, we should ship it with a signed .dmg).

If possible please include the code in opensmalltalk/vm. There are good starting points:

In {build.macos32x86,build.macos64x64}/newspeak.cog.spur/installer is code that builds the newspeak .dmg, but does not sign it. There's a Makefile.

In {build.macos32x86,build.macos64x64}/common/Makefile.app is code to sign an .app bundle using codesign. The certificate to use is indicated via an environment variable as described in {build.macos32x86,build.macos64x64}/HowToBuild.

I will look into it for next week, but this is a bit independend of the release..
