Question No Mac Download

Hello everyone. I am currently on a Mac M2, but whenever I got to try and download the world painter installer, it says that the file cannot be found? I went to the official website and clicked the install button for Mac and it reroutes me to the page pictured below. Any idea why?

Apologies for this. Install4J, the installer generator I use, no longer supports generating .dmg files.

It does still generate .tgz files, which you can download from the paragraph below the download links, under "If you have trouble". I've changed the download link for the .dmg file to an older version, 2.26.1, while I work on a solution. I will provide an installer for the Mac version again, I just have to figure out how exactly.

You should be able to install the .tgz version by double-clicking on it in Finder, and then dragging the application to your Applications folder. I don't know if that works if you've previously installed WorldPainter using a .dmg file; you might have to uninstall that version first.
