Which package to install on macOS M1/M2 (Apple Silicon)

Re: Which package to install on macOS M1/M2 (Apple Silicon)
Please download the package indicating "Qt 6":
QCAD Professional 3.28.1 (f) for macOS Qt 6 11.x, 12.x, 13.x arm64 (M1/M2, NOT for regular Intel Macs!)
This uses the newer version 6.x of Qt. The other package uses Qt 5. If you have an external monitor, you might experience problems with the Qt 6 package. In this case, install:
