Hello,

I've tried the binary on 10.11.6 (Mac Pro and Macbook Pro) and it worked 
fine with both. Worth to mention is that I do not have macports installed 
so it's not dependent on that, very good.

As you mention the macOS UI has some smaller glitches visually, but 
nothing that makes it unusable.

See screenshot:

One thing that always bugged me about the macOS UI is that the OK button 
is not the default. I can't remember how many times I've made 
configuration changes and pressed enter to finish. Only to lose all 
the changes. Annoying as it works the opposite way normal apps do.


One bug that seems to have appeared with SDL 2 is if you have audio 
playing in the emulated Atari, then go to macOS dropdown menu (to enter 
preferences for example) then Hatari loops a small part of the audio 
creating a loud noise. I think the audio should be muted when entering the 
drop down menu instead.


I've sparsley tested Falcon in 060/32 mode, and it is excessivly slow. 
I'm not sure if it's the same in 1.9.0 or not, need to investigate 
further.


But the binary works, I think nothing of the above mentioned issues are 
related to your build. Great work as always :)
