A new development version has been released. Changes in FS-UAE 2.5.18dev:

• Disabled / soft-removed PearPC PPC implementation.

Known issues:

• When starting FS-UAE from FS-UAE Launcher, accelerator flashs ROM writes are not persistent because the launcher uses a new copy every time.
• Booting CD32 with CD inserted works, but inserting later, or eject + re-insert does not seem to work right now.
• On OS X, cursor movement is currently not received by FS-UAE when the window is not focused (either something SDL 2 or OS X itself does). This makes mouse integration a bit less useful.

A new development version has been released. Changes in FS-UAE 2.5.17dev:

• Initial support for magic mouse / virtual mouse.
• New option mouse_integration (boolean) (Setting it to 1 implies cursor=0, automatic_input_grab=0).

• Changes to audio buffer fill logic.
• Measure fps internally with floating point numbers.

• AmigaOS 4.1 w/Picasso IV => sometimes weird frame rate (~36 FPS).
• When starting FS-UAE from FS-UAE Launcher, accelerator flashs ROM writes are not persistent because the launcher uses a new copy every time.
• Booting CD32 with CD inserted works, but inserting later, or eject + re-insert does not seem to work right now.
• On OS X, cursor movement is currently not received by FS-UAE when the window is not focused (either something SDL 2 or OS X itself does). This makes mouse integration a bit less useful.

A new development version has been released. Changes in FS-UAE 2.5.16dev:

• Specify rpath for OS X executable (so plugins can find libs from fs-uae).

Please note that there was an issue with FS-UAE 2.5.15dev and the QEMU-UAE plugin (for PPC support) on OS X. When updating to 2.5.16dev, this should work, but you also must update the QEMU-UAE plugin to v2.1.0fs020001.
