Re: Periodic crashes on Mac
It's already possible to run the free version of Sweet Home 3D with Oracle Java 8, if you run it with Java Web Start or with the Jar executable version.
Until now, I preferred to provide a DMG based on Apple Java 6 to ensure that as many as possible Mac OS X users can use it (including those under 10.4, 10.5 and 10.6 where applications based on Java 7 or 8 can't run). But this may change sooner that later because in the latest Beta of High Sierra, the upcoming macOS update, some system libraries are still missing, preventing Sweet Home 3D to run with Java 6. If Apple doesn't want to fix this issue in the final release, I'll have to prepare a DMG based on Java 8 and Mac OS X 10.6 users will be able to run the newer versions of Sweet Home 3D only with Java Web Start or its Jar executable version (that's not so bad already!).
