Hi Sven,

Thanks for notifying us, that is great to see you back on stage :)

Few things that you may find useful to add to the final release
- Someone provided a bug fix on Newt windows crashing at startup on macOS. He/she pushed this on my JOGL repo.
- I tested the TextRenderer improvements that lie on a pending merge request on your github repo. I can say it handles memory more efficiently and also that the text looks greater (without blurry effect on non HiDPI screen).

Notice
- When I upgraded JOGL to support Apple M1, I encountered failing tests relating to NEWT. I was not able to fix this so I kept the console output info here. If you want to see the details, I uploaded test results here.
- When testing NewtCanvasAWT inside Jzy3D, I encountered weird lags on macOS when using mouse drag for camera rotation. I thought it could be related with the above mentioned issues. That could equally be related to my integration of Newt in Jzy3D. If you want, I can perform additional tests on your release.

You seam to also encounter failing tests in your build. Is there's a way we could help you?

Last, you may find useful to see the compatibility matrix and workaround index I made available here when I build the RC4 for Apple M1.

Cheers,

Martin
