Like Phoenix, this release changes Dove's approach on macOS to be far closer to our approach on other platforms, such as Linux - without compromising security. This comes at the cost of improved performance, among other benefits.
For Dove to continue working properly on your system in the future, you are STRONGLY encouraged to migrate your installation. You can easily upgrade with the following script we created:
We apologize for any inconvenience, and thank you for your time, patience, and support of the project.
