I'd like to test beta v2.3.0 on my MacBook Air running macOS Catalina v10.15.4 but apparently missing of Notarization prevents my system to run it. I tried execution both from mounted package than after copying the app binary into Application folder, both double clicking and right-click => Open, no success

@Alex: try the following:

- Re-download and drag mixxx to applications folder
- right-click mixxx in applications folder > Open (macOS will complain about unnotarized software), press "OK"
- again right-click mixxx > open: this time around you will see a dialog with three options a) Show in Finder b) Open c) Cancle - select "Open"

You will now be able to continue mixxx as expected.

@Foss-4: ahah, it's like the 2020 version of "have you tried to turn it off and on again?" of old 😆 Thanks for the heads up
