    Physarum 1.5.0 — 6 new presets

    New built-in presets (now 25)

    • Neural Lattice — three species carve interwoven neon territories (multi-species interaction matrix).
    • Ember Veil — a single warm species glows into molten, branching dendrites.
    • Mandala Six — a rich tangle folded into 6-fold kaleidoscopic symmetry.
    • Ink Veins — dark ink veining across light paper (paint blend mode).
    • Aurora Drift — cooperative species flow into soft, drifting ribbons.
    • Supernova — a center-spawn burst with a hot core and chaotic tendrils.

    🔬 Under the hood (experimental groundwork)

    • New apple/ subsystem: a platform-agnostic native Metal port of the engine that shares the WGSL shaders 1:1 via a build-time transpiler, plus a native macOS Ambiance Viewer. Foundation for planned native tvOS/iOS/macOS apps — the shipped app is unchanged.

    📦 macOS

    The .dmg is Developer ID-signed and Apple-notarised — it opens with no Gatekeeper warning. Drag Physarum to Applications.
