Designer/Perspective Workstation slow startup on Windows - advisory and recommended hotfix

A fix for this is included in 8.1.46 and the RC is available now.

Note: This update did have some changes related to support on Apple Devices, specifically that Rosetta is not supported anymore in the x86_64 (intel) JXBrowser, meaning that we had to bundle both the x86 and Apple Silicon JXBrowser libraries in the platform for continued support on both architectures for the Designer and Vision Web Browser Component. This is included in the platform and no action is needed.

This change however also affects Perspective Workstation. The bundled version of Perspective Workstation is now Apple Silicon ONLY

We do offer an Intel compatible version on our website for older Mac devices, but due to size it was not included in the default Ignition footprint.

In the event that it is required at scale (doubtful) you can drop this file into lib/core/launch prior to startup and it can be retrieved from the gateway using the URL /system/nativelaunch?type=workstation&os=osx_intel

Hope this helps,
Jonathan C
