Digging into the release now. There is still garbled font showing on 

in various parts of the platform. I've submitted bug reports on this in the past.

Digging into the release now. There is still garbled font showing on comments using Lato font, the reference tabs, and tooltips in various parts of the platform. I've submitted bug reports on this in the past.

Downloaded, not working on Windows 10. Stucks with the loading circle on the max console. I am downloading another time, see if something happened.

EDIT: Most likely a problem of mine. I found an old installer of 8.0.4 and installed it, but isn't working.

I'm not sure if it's max 8.08 or the new jitter upgrade, but on windows 10 the jit.gl.material doesn't respond to double-click anymore so you can't bring up the interface.

@DADDYMAX: The Material browser isn't currently supported in the GL3 beta.

@REDHEXAGONAL: This is still a known and open issue.

It's a lot of great improvements and fixes!

But unfortunately the version not working with Windows 10. Unfortunately reinstalling my windows hasn't helped.

Do you have any ideas about it?
Cheers, 

@Anna: that has to be something local on your end because I can assure you that everything works as intended on Windows 10. When you say "not working" then what exactly are you referring to? "not working" is way too broad. Does Max start? Do you get a patcher window? What exactly isn't working?

@Shelluser: Hi. Max 8.0.8 crashes often on windows 10 for me. It also seems buggy and often freezes. I've not had as many max problems before on a windows system.

@Anna Nasor it sounds like you should be speaking to support@cycling74.com about these problems, they'll help you out.

MacOs10.15 'Catalina' question: if we make standalones with cycling74 drivers, will we have to submit them to Apple for verification?

Yes, you will need to sign and notarize your standalone if you want to distribute it without users having to disable gatekeeper to run it

@ERNEST

Hi Ben. that's been true before, but according to the Web, Catalina imposes much more stringent requirements, specifically on audio drivers. Please see 

https://cdm.link/2019/09/macos-catalina-will-be-incompatible-with-much-of-your-music-software-heres-what-to-know/

and my question is, will we have to get certification on Cycling74 audio drivers TOO, or will Cycling74 certification be enough,. Thanks for response )

Yes, you will need to follow whatever requirements that Apple has, such as setting up signing and notarization with the correct entitlements based on what is included in your standalone.

ok Ben, I guess I have to ask whether Cycling74 has certified its drivers according to the new Catalina standards, because I'm publishing a new standalone with audio and midi drivers next week, and it's pointless me submitting it to Apple if Cycling74 hasn't certified its own drivers yet, sorry to be an annoyance, but I have been working on this design for a year.

Sorry to not be more clear. It is my understanding that you will have to sign and notarize all components of your standalone yourself.

We hope/expect to be Catalina compliant in an upcoming release, but that won't help you when you go to sign/notarize, as you will need to do it yourself, stripping our signing, and doing it all over again. After we release a Catalina complaint version of Max, we can probably can point people in the right direction in terms of what entitlements are needed.

Regardless, developers will have until January 2020 to become fully Catalina compliant, so you do have some time.

Thanks, I understand now, looking forward to your Catalina release then )

 Good news - I had exactly the same issue, but have found a fix :) I deleted 

of the Lato fonts from my Windows/Fonts folder (right click on them and click delete) and re-downloaded them from here -
