Only with a command "sudo spctl --master-disable"? There is no explanation about this into the readme.rtf file. ID: 92991 ·

Please wait for v7.16.3, probably tomorrow. That will be something fun for me to do on the train to Dundee, I think I might need to tether my phone and use 4g as I suspect the free wifi has a usage limit. ID: 92995 ·

The BOINC installer should be a lot smaller? 😁 ID: 92996 ·

According to Apple: Important Beginning in macOS 10.14.5, all new or updated kernel extensions and all software from developers new to distributing with Developer ID must be notarized in order to run. Beginning in macOS 10.15, notarization is required by default for all software. Until this is corrected, the easiest workaround is to control-click on BOINC Installer in the Finder and select Open from the pop-up menu. This will allow you to bypass Gatekeeper and run the BOINC installer. Charlie Fenton BOINC / SETI@home Macintosh & Windows Programmer ID: 92997 ·
