Tags & Releases

production/ tags represent submissions to the macOS App Store. These are marked as "Pre-Release" until approved by Apple and officially released by the team. Both release candidates and final releases use production/ tags. Release candidates will have RC or Release Candidate in their title.
beta/ tags represent pre-release versions of Sequel Ace that are intended to test new features and bug fixes. The downloadable app in a beta/ tag has a different name and identifier (Sequel Ace Beta), meaning you can install it side-by-side with the latest App Store release. Beta releases also have increased logging turned on to help us identify critical issues.

Compatibility

macOS: >= 10.12
Processor: Intel & Apple Silicon

Note: An older version of Sequel Ace (version 2.3.2) is available to download for macOS versions 10.10 and 10.11, however support is limited and we encourage upgrading to the latest macOS and Sequel Ace.
