Catalina goes even further. It expands your workspace and ensures a healthy Mac-life balance: Sidecar: An important feature that makes Catalina worth upgrading to is an extra screen. Mirror your Mac’s screen to iPad, add iPad’s screen to create a bigger workspace on Mac. You need the Apple Developer tools, which are a part of the Xcode development environment. Xcode 11.3 for use on macOS 10.14 Mojave or 10.15 Catalina can be installed from the Mac App store, but you must first move any old Xcode versions from the Applications folder into the trash or rename the Xcode app (eg Xcode.app to Xcode1014.app).

MacPorts 2.6.0 now availableSeptember 21, 2019
The MacPorts Project is happy to announce that the 2.6.0 version has nowbeen released. It is available via the usual methods:
- selfupdate if you already have MacPorts installed
- package installers for 10.14, 10.13, 10.12, 10.11, 10.10, 10.9,10.8, 10.7, 10.6, 10.5 and 10.4 (universal i386/ppc for 10.5 and 10.4,i386/x86_64 for 10.6, and the rest x86_64)
- source tarballs, both .tar.bz2 and .tar.gz
The list of what’s new in 2.6.0 can be found in the ChangeLog.
Of special note for users of 10.6-10.8: The default C++ stdlib has changed fromlibstdc++ to libc++. This will enable building ports that require C++11and beyond much more easily. All C++-based ports using the old stdlibwill need to be rebuilt, so we recommend that you run ‘sudo portrev-upgrade’ after updating to MacPorts 2.6.0.
We are currently in the process of switching the packages server overto the new stdlib, so availability of binary packagesfor 10.6-10.8 will be reduced for a time until the builds catch up.(There will initially be no availability for a hopefully very short timeuntil we flip the switch to mark the archives as libc++.)
If you previously followed the LibcxxOnOlderSystems instructions on thewiki, you should revert the changes to macports.conf that theinstructions specify. In particular, default_compilers should not be setso that the new MacPorts version can pick the compilers itself. You alsoprobably want buildfromsource to be its default value (“ifneeded”) sothat you will use binaries once they are available.
A big thanks to the developers for their hard work with all of thevarious features and bug fixes in 2.6.0, and to all those who helped outby reporting bugs or testing.

MacPorts 2.6.0 release candidate 1 availableSeptember 14, 2019
Source code and pkgs for MacPorts 2.6.0-rc1 are nowavailable. Testing of either of these install methods is helpful.
Be prepared to encounter bugs. As always, having a recent backup wouldbe wise. Please report any bugs that you find (after first searchingTrac, of course!)
If no show-stopping bugs are found in the next few days, this willbecome the 2.6.0 release.
There are a large number of changes in this release. See the ChangeLogfor a list of most of the major ones. You may like to focus yourtesting on the new features in that list, as well as your normal usage.
Changes since beta1 are:
- Fixed
port deps
not showing depends_patch - Added
bump
action to port man page
Please see the 2.6.0-beta1 announcement below for important informationfor users of Mac OS X 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8.
MacPorts 2.6.0 beta1 availableSeptember 1, 2019
Source code and pkgs for MacPorts 2.6.0-beta1 are nowavailable. Testing of either of these install methods is helpful.
Be prepared to encounter bugs. As always, having a recent backup wouldbe wise. Please report any bugs that you find (after first searchingTrac, of course!)
There are a large number of changes in this release. See the ChangeLogfor a list of most of the major ones. You may like to focus yourtesting on the new features in that list, as well as your normal usage.
Of special note:
- For 10.14 users: The pkg meets Apple’s new requirements fornotarization. This includes enabling the hardened runtime for allexecutables, which has the potential to cause new issues due to denyingaccess to certain system resources and preventing the loading ofunsigned plugins. Please let us know about any such problems.
- For users of 10.6-10.8: The default C++ stdlib has changed fromlibstdc++ to libc++. This will enable building ports that require C++11and beyond much more easily. All C++-based ports using the old stdlibwill need to be rebuilt, so we recommend that you run ‘sudo portrev-upgrade’ after installing the beta.
You will no longer get binary packages for 10.6-10.8 until we switch thepackages server over to the new stdlib along with the final 2.6.0release. You may want to install clang-8.0, clang-3.7, clang-3.4 andtheir dependencies before installing the beta, to save a bit of buildtime (the newer clang versions already use libc++ and so won’t need tobe rebuilt.)
If you previously followed the LibcxxOnOlderSystems instructions on thewiki, you should revert the changes to macports.conf that theinstructions specify. In particular, default_compilers should not be setso that the new MacPorts version can pick the compilers itself. You alsoprobably want buildfromsource to be its default value (“ifneeded”) sothat you will use binaries once they are available.
New ports database siteAugust 19, 2019
MacPorts’ new ports database is live at ports.macports.org. Pleaseconsider installing the “mpstats” port to enable submission ofanonymous information about your system and installed ports forstatistical purposes.
The information collected is currently:
- MacPorts version
- OS name and version
- CPU architecture
- Selected C++ standard library
- Xcode, command line tools, and GCC versions
- Name, version, selected variants, and requested status of each installed port
- A UUID so we can tell whether submissions are from distinct users
The site also shows which OS versions each port was successfully builton, has links to open Trac tickets, and more.
This new site is the result of much hard work by our GSoC student,Arjun Salyan. We hope you find it useful.

New team membersDecember 17, 2007
It’s been long since we last publicly announced new team members, and as a result some of them have gone without their deserved welcoming posts, sorry ‘bout that. It’s been so long that I couldn’t possibly remember which ones were the last publicly announced ones, so rather than sifting through our list of members and older blog posts I’ll just post the entire list itself:
Feel like you want to be in it…? Great, we’re always looking for more helping hands! Shape up and browse over to https://www.macports.org/contact.php#PortMgr
New website and guideDecember 17, 2007
The MacPorts team is most proud to present to the world its new face at https://www.macports.org, after a couple of months long redesign of the old website we had at OpenDarwin servers and which now replaces the default Wordpress portal we were using since our migration to Mac OS Forge.
Coupled to our new webpage is a considerable and on-going facelift to our until unfortunately lacking documentation, our new guide at https://guide.macports.org, mostly the work of our own Mark Duling, Boey Maun Suang and Simon Ruderich.
Enjoy them and feel free to give us as much feedback as you may have by following the guidelines in the brand new https://www.macports.org/contact.php page.
Kudos to all those who helped make these important milestone happen, keep it up!

The MacPorts project is pleased to announce the release of MacPorts v1.4.0.
Change log is at MacPorts 1.4.0 ChangeLog.Downloads are available at MacPorts 1.4.0 downloads.
Thanks to all project members who contributed to this release, and especially to Juan Manuel Palacios, who served as release manager. Bugs may be filed at the MacPorts bug reports page.

Note also that if you have a previous release of MacPorts installed, the easiest path to MacPorts 1.4.0 is simply “sudo port selfupdate”.

Special Maintainer Addresses migrated to new formNovember 3, 2006
MacPorts has long used the maintainer address [email protected] to signify that a port did not have an active maintainer. We have changed this protocol to use two new addresses ([email protected] and [email protected]). These addresses autorespond with a message referring the reader to https://trac.macports.org/wiki/SpecialMaintainerAddresses for more information.
