From the release history: "Due to backwards-compatibility issues associated with some new features, the 3.52.0 release has been withdrawn."

3.52.0 seems to work fine for me. For now, I'll avoid using any of the new features (with fingers crossed).

I'm staying away from macOS Tahoe for now. NetNewsWire has already announced that they will no longer support the earlier 6.x release that I use. I assume that means no bug fixes or back-porting of new features. Sad.

I admire what you are doing. It obviously serves you well and you hope it helps others.

I'm familiar with how to import CSV data with SQLite and I could probably learn how to do it with DuckDB with ease. Your tool introduces a new and rather shallow abstraction layer with commands that work for both databases.

The world needs tools that provide a great deal of utility, are trustworthy, and keep getting more reliable and capable. I'm not sure that yours will qualify.

This controversy could have been avoided if the GUI changes in Tahoe had been opt-in only. In other words, the Sequoia GUI should have remained the default, with the option of choosing to switch to Liquid Glass.

This kind of thing happens to all of us. There's no point in complaining here, we've already lived it many times and we feel your pain. Regarding the magsafe cable, I have tossed away several that stopped working. Fortunately, an ordinary USB-C cable works just as well.
