There’s better integration with Apple Silicon M1/M2 Macs especially for multi-touch gestures, more keyboard shortcut controls and automatic detection of Windows images.

For Pro users that use CAD software on a Mac, there’s also improved OpenGL 4.1 support meaning it’s easier to run CAD apps like VariCAD and Vectorworks Vision 2023 on a Mac too.
