<p>Dear all,</p>
<p>I have just attempted an update to release 13.3.11 on my Macs with a rather mixed first experience:</p>
<p>- On my MacOS 10.15.7 ("Catalina") machine, I have been able to compile with macport's gcc5, but not gcc10. Yet, starting prj gives me a segfault (invalid memory reference). On MacOS 10.13.6 ("High Sierra") prj starts fine.<br>
</p>
<p>- prj new model creation: When I want to associate images, prj crashes (right after I press "y"):<br>
</p>

<p>- When adding a zone based on rectangular plan, setting a non-zero elevation produces warped surfaces (the vertices are not extruded vertically).<br>
</p>
<p>I did not do much with the new installation so far, but wanted to share these observations without delay.</p>
<p>Best, Lars.<br>
