-  * The security settings in newer Mac OS versions have been altered to by default disallow users from casually opening and running .dmg executables that are not from Apple itself. When attempting to open the Greenstone binary .dmg file, if it pops up an error warning about security, you will need to set up the Security on your Mac to allow you to run .dmg files downloaded from the internet. Otherwise the Greenstone mac binary will not run. To do this, go to your Mac's System Preferences. Under "Personal", select Security & Privacy. In the General tab, tick "Allow apps downloaded from Anywhere", then confirm that you want to "Allow From Anywhere". You'll need to be admin to do this, otherwise click on the padlock at the bottom left of the Security & Privacy tab and log in as admin.\\ **If you are on a Mac Catalina and do not have admin rights**, you can still get around this (for now) and install GS3.11  on Mac Catalina as follows:+  * The security settings in newer Mac OS versions have been altered to by default disallow users from casually opening and running .dmg executables that are not from Apple itself.

-  * This release introduces the **WebSwing GLI feature: GLI is now built into your browser.** (But regular, desktop GLI is not going away, and still available as before.) WebSwing GLI replaces the client-GLI with Remote GS3 server combination and GLI applet/GLI Webstart application. Refer to [[https://files.greenstone.org/tutorial/gs3-current/en/all_tutorials.html#webswing_gli|Using WebSwing GLI (Web GLI)]] for instructions on how to start using WebSwing GLI. It's mostly the same as Desktop GLI, so the linked tutorial runs you through just the differences. +  * This release introduces the **WebSwing GLI feature: GLI is now built into your browser.** (But regular, desktop GLI is not going away, and still available as before.)
