Anyone noticed Unison playing up on Monterey? Having set up this 2017
MBA with Monterey (and Migrated a TM backup over from an older Catalina
MBP), Unison seems to quit occasionally - usually when clicking on a
new post.

Another thing I just noticed is that after I selected 'Reopen' from the
pop-up and restarted it, I had a second iteration of Unison in the Dock
- the now active one.

When Unison has quit in the past I usually simply click the Dock icon
again (because that's -slightly- quicker than waiing for the
Reopen/Ignore/Quit pop-up) so can't be sure the dupe hasn't popped up
before.

Can’t really help as I stopped using Unison a while ago now. It hasn’t been
updated for over 9 years now when support stopped. Maybe it’s becoming
incompatible with more recent versions of macOS? Going back a few years it
was an excellent Usenet client though.

Ah - Yosemite was the last supported OS!! That long ago! Oh well. May have
to try Usenapp at some point.

Just installed Unison 2.2 on my M1 Mac. I'll let you know if it misbehaves!

Getting the occasional quit but haven't seen the double icon in the
dock (yet). BTW I'm running macOS Sonoma 14.4 on this M1 MBP. My 2017
Intel MBA runs Monterey so I could try testing Unison on that tomorrow.

Installed Unison on the MBA as promised and yes I get the occasional
crash when opening unread message but again no duplicated icon in the
dock. So maybe consider Usenapp although there are others that will
work, e.g. Hogwasher.

Mine just crashed again trying to open this message! Yes, I used
Hogwasher for a few years. 'Something' happened (can't remember what)
and it stopped working for a while (as did Unison at one point). I've
switched between the two on and off for 15 years or more. I bought a
licence for Hog but it's won't work with the new(er) v.5 (and v.4 is
32bit). Never mind. Unison 'mostly works' and I've got NewsTap on my
iDevices. Thanks for having a look!

Apple had depreciated the old network stack, which dated from System/OS 7/8
days, in favor of the new network stack, starting with (I think) OS X 10.4.
They finally killed the old stack with 10.something, years later. The Hog
still used the old stack, as did a lot of other networking apps, including
virtually all usenet clients. The Hog was updated to use the new stack, but
that took quite some time. Many network apps, including most usenet clients,
never were updated and are therefore useless on modern versions of the OS.

All Unisonia had occasional crashes without obvious reason,
also in earlier system versions.
Nothing to worry about, and not too often to be a real nuisance.
