Please be careful about upgrading to macOS 14.4 if you’re using OPENRNDR as it could break JVM (and thus OPENRNDR).

More information by Oracle here: [https://blogs.oracle.com/java/post/java-on-macos-14-4](https://blogs.oracle.com/java/post/java-on-macos-14-4)

Very unfortunate stuff, I really hope it get’s fixed ASAP by Apple.

Personally I’m not taking any chances as I’d hate to not be able to use OPENRNDR.

**EDIT: As indicated in the linked article this is now fixed in macOS 14.4.1**
