6.8.10 still incompatible with macOS 11.1. Opens with Tips and freezes. Force quit required.
Please apply this fix.

For some reason, we build the installer and develop it on macOS big sur, but we cannot replicate it.
We’re hoping the release of Java 16 will solve this. We’ve seen they’re fixing some GPU rendering freezes they’ve found on bigsur.
Yes, thank you for that. And while that patch solves the problem associated with TOTD, the freeze can also be induced by choosing ‘About Frostwire’ from the menus. I previously reported that, but perhaps unclearly. Best regards, Brian Happy 2021
Thank you Brian!
This helps.
Perhaps we’ll revert back to JDK14 until JDK16 comes out, it’s causing too many rendering issues and freezes.
