Upgrading Cockatrice

With this release we no longer provide prebuilt binaries for macOS 10.13 High Sierra.
If you are on this operating system you should consider installing an upgraded version.
If this is not an option for you, you are able to compile and create your own binaries following these steps

  • Run the internal software updater: Help → Check for Client Updates

Don't forget to update your card database right after! (Help → Check for Card Updates...)
