What’s new in version 18.6.1

Compatibility with macOS Sonoma

Apple made some significant internal changes with macOS Sonoma that were not well advertised ahead of time. In particular, there was a standard fork/exec approach to running third party “unix” applications (think Primer3, Bowtie, ClustalW, phred, phrap, Velvet, SPAdes and many others) that no longer works. This release uses a different coding approach that fixes the problem.
