## News / Recent Changes
### 2023-11-22 — Apple Silicon builds, drop macOS 11 support
Apple Silicon builds are now available, but limited to stable releases, and
nightly builds on the 1st of each month due to the cost of using M1-based
runners on GitHub Actions. Apple Silicon builds also require macOS 13 Ventura,
as that is the oldest macOS version available on M1-based runners.
Additionally, Intel builds minimum required macOS version has been increased
from macOS 11 Big Sur, to macOS 12 Monterey. This was needed as Homebrew no
longer supports Big Sur, leading to very lengthy and error prone builds as all
Homebrew dependencies had to be installed from source.
If dropping support for macOS 11 turns out to be a big issue, it may be possible
to offer macOS 11 compatible builds on a less frequent schedule similar to what
we're doing with Apple Silicon.
