# What’s New in Local 6.5.0

## Improvements

- Local now offers fully native builds for Apple silicon machines! Users with these machines should see improved performance. Applicable users can download this build from our releases page.
- The “Preferred” environment within Local has been updated to PHP 8.1.
- PHP 7.4 and PHP 8.0 patch versions have been merged in the Local UI. Local will automatically apply the PHP patch upgrade to sites the next time they are started.

## Bug fixes

- Updated code signing of all of the bundled services that ship with Local to be signed by WP Engine. Mismatches in signing had caused issues on MacOS.
