[CWB] Big Sur?

Unfortunately not, but I intend to get a M1 mac soon in order to test CWB and related software thoroughly.

I can't update my main laptop (or rather: don't dare to) because I'm relying on various pieces of software that might not be compatible.

I don't think there should be a major problem wrt. CWB.  As far as I know, homebrew works fine in BigSur to provide the required libraries.

I don't think I had any major problems at all with Catalina (at least now with command-line software).  What exactly did you have to work around?

Best,
Stefan
