    MadMapper 5 is out!

    by Benoit » Mon Nov 29, 2021 5:12 pm

    Dear Mappers,

    MadMapper 5 is out and it's free for v4 owners!

    It's more powerful than ever, it's M1 native for macOS users and it introduces a new website along a new user-centric licensing system you'll love. No more Yourspace : create your user account now from the MadMapper website!

    If you're a v4 owner, import your current license in your new account, then download MadMapper 5 for free from the Downloads tab!
    For v1 to v3 owners, enjoy the -20% MADWEEK offer valid until Thursday, December 2nd!

    Plus, MadLaser is the other big news: it's the first paid extension of MadMapper 5 and it allows you to control beams of light while benefiting from everything you already love in MadMapper!

    Regarding the Native M1 support, macOS users we think of you : MadMapper 5 (including MadLaser) is a native M1 software, fully optimized for macOS Big Sur, macOS Monterey and new M1 Mac computers using Apple silicon chips.
    Intel build and Windows version are available too : everyone can enjoy MadMapper 5 and MadLaser!
