Toon Boom Harmony 21.0.5 Release Notes

Harmony 21.0.5, build 21829 (2023-08-04)

NOTE This version of Harmony does not natively support the new Apple silicon processors (M1 and later). On systems using these new processors, this version of Harmony runs through Apple’s Rosetta 2. This may cause compatibility issues when running on the new ARM-based macOS systems. For full compatibility with the new Apple silicon systems, use Harmony 21.1 or later.
NOTE The Python plugin, which allows Python 2.7 scripts to be run from Harmony, no longer loads by default on macOS Big Sur and Monterey. You can force the Python plugin to load by enabling the FORCE_LOAD_PYTHON_SCRIPT hidden preference.

The following is a list of improvements and fixes in this release of Harmony and later.
