Hi, folks! We've been quiet here lately, so I wanted to update everyone on our plans for Big Sur and Apple Silicon Macs.

We're hoping to release VoodooPad 5.4 later this month. VoodooPad 5.4 adds Apple Silicon Mac support and improves Big Sur support. VoodooPad 5.3, the current VoodooPad release, will work on Apple Silicon Macs, although it will run under Rosetta 2.

We're also hoping to release VoodooPad 6 Preview 3 next month. Preview 3 also adds Apple Silicon Mac support and fixes several issues users have identified with Preview 2.

Let me know if you have any questions about either upcoming release!

   Does the 4.3.6 or the 5.3.0 versions work on the 64bit systems?

   VoodooPad 5 works on versions of macOS that only support 64-bit applications (i.e., macOS 11 and macOS 10.15). VoodooPad 4 only works on macOS 10.14 and earlier.

   So good to see VoodooPad getting the love it deserves.

   I'm running the last version of Geekbench that was made for PowerPC Macs. I'd like to see an M1-native version of Geekbench for the NEW, true Macs (not those PC's posing as Macs sold for the last 15 year). Is one going to be released soon?

   Does it look like there will still be a 5.4 release before version 6?

   I'm new to VoodooPad. What's the status of the VoodooPad 6 release? In November 2020, VoodooPad 6 Preview 3 was going to be released in a month. Has that happened? As a newcomer, I'm curious what the release plans and timeline look like. Thanks in advance.

   Where do we go for VP support? I tried posting here but got no replies.

   I haven't received any responses either. I'm afraid this support forum is dead. Sadly, this doesn't bode well for the future VoodooPad.
