Will aseprite be updated to natively run on the new m1 mac processor? I know I can use rosetta to run it but rosetta has issues where it writes excess amounts of data to the hard drive which is bad fo for it.

thanx

Welcome @duke, there are plans to support M1 natively. Anyway we are waiting for the next M1 iteration (`M1X` maybe?) to get the hardware and start testing.
