Like the font sizes and the stack line numbers I don’t see anymore when not punching digits for example. Or displaying the date and time with seconds.

Most of the flags were eliminated. The ones that still exist can be configured from the menu System/Settings/Flags (pressing keys P,E,A,A in sequence will take you there)
Fonts are no longer controlled by flags. The possible configurations are explained in this post. It's much more flexible than it was, as you can choose from various different fonts, and you can combine different font sizes for different areas of the screen.
The stack line numbers are visible when there's things on the stack. Empty lines don't display the numbers anymore (this was a suggestion to keep the screen clean by another forum member). It can't be controlled from a flag either, only used stack slots display their number.
Finally, there's no option to display the clock (yet).

I’ll let you know.

Thanks again.

I'm not familiar with Parallels, you should investigate if it has a USB pass-through option somewhere.
I found good news at this link. Not sure if it applies to your particular version, but should be easy for you.
As long as you can let a VM see the physical USB device, newRPL Desktop will see your calc and transfer data.

If you try compiling yourself for Mac, please take notes and share here, I'd like to write instructions in the wiki for other Mac users in the same situation.
