With the initial developer beta of macOS Ventura, we've seen many drastic changes to the patcher process that creates many challenges for us. Thus we've decided to do a release of 0.4.6 which prioritizes Monterey support, before trying to tackle larger issues.
This release will not have any support for Ventura, and we don't expect to have public support for some time. See macOS Ventura and OpenCore Legacy Patcher Support for more info.
Regarding note worthy features of this release:
- Resolve Bluetooth 2.1 support in macOS 12.4
- Greatly speed up GUI load times
- Resolve Zlib kernel panics on 12.4 with pre-Sandy Bridge CPUs
- Early support for Nvidia Web Drivers in non-Metal mode
Finally, this will be the final release where TUI binaries are uploaded on release. We have no plans to kill the TUI outright, but no effort will be made to maintain it. Developers can still compile TUIs from source, regular end users should transition to the GUI.
Otherwise, we hope everyone enjoys the new release!
