With the release of OpenCore Legacy Patcher 2.1.0, this version will primarily focus on stability and bug fixes. However, this release does support settings retention in the GUI, allowing users to save settings between runs and updates.
Changes include:
- Support saving settings from the GUI between app launches.
- Note this only applies for on-model settings, changing Mac models resets settings.
- Disabling FeatureUnlock and mediaanalysisd (Live Text) by default for stability.
- If either features are desired, can be re-enabled in settings.
- Resolve macOS 15.1 (24B2083) Apple Silicon installer appearing as a download option.
- Resolve WhatsApp crash on 15.1.
See changelog for more information. Otherwise hope everyone enjoys the new release!
As to be expected, macOS Sequoia support is still in active development. This is a community-driven project, and as such we ask users to keep expectations in check and use older OSes if you encounter issues that affect you.
