There isn't anything new about this. Older versions of macOS allowed for setting "Allow all" for opening apps from "unidentified developers" and it may be that you have this enabled. Also, opening an unsigned or ad-hoc app on the machine it was compiled on does not trigger quarantine. If the build comes from the CI build system set up by IOhannes, I believe it automatically signed using the IEM account and so is "verified" hence no warning.

I was able to download from the site and run it on my Mac without getting any blowback
about the signature.  I'm away from that machine ATM and forget what version of the
OS it's running but perhaps they've added new hoops to jump through in newer
versions.  It's a never ending game of whack-a-mole with Apple.

Probably. Just disable the warning flags:

1. open Terminal
2. type "xattr -c" and add a space
3. drag the Pd .app onto Terminal to add the path
4. hit enter
5. right-click on the Pd .app and click "Open"

Does the binary version for MacOS need to be signed manually? I’m getting "Apple could not verify “Pd-0.56-0test1” is free of malware that may harm your Mac or compromise your privacy.”
