@wmiler Wyatt, this looks really good. For the MacOS part where it says *.arm64.dmg for Apple Silicone Mac or *.universal.dmg for Intel Mac might want to there:

*.AppleSilicon.dmg for Apple Silicone Mac or *.Intel.dmg for Intel Mac.

The reason for this is that the universal builds are being deprecated for 2.6.0 and later due to only being partially functional on MacOS12. So I'm doing AppleSilicon on SDK26, I set up the build environment in an older Intel MacBook Pro for Intel builds on SDK 14.

The universal builds done on SDK 26 are only compatible with the last Intel Macs from 2019 and 2020. The Intel builds done on SDK 14 are compatible with all Intel Macs back to MacOS 12. So I'm gradually replacing those universal builds in the release assets with Intel builds as I get time. Fortunately, the Intel Macs are not a big portion of our userbase - roughly 7%. The few Intel Mac users that have contacted me about this, I passed on instructions on how to build for their system from the pre-built libraries, so they are up and running. But either way, universal builds have already been partially deprecated by Apple.

Note: all of Rob's inbox stuff needs to be in the Release notes, not directly in the User Guide, unless somebody wants to write up a section on that...
