A new MacOS X Intel App is available from our Beta Test Page.
This is the second attempt to get the file handling working with the new "symlink" Core Clients (6.1.12 & up), hopefully without breaking the behavior for older ones. The "science code" is the same as in 4.42, featuring the "interleaved kernel loop", there shouldn't be any difference in speed.
The changes in 4.42 gave a different name to the checkpoint file, resulting in tasks from previous versions started at 0% when picked up by 4.42. This effect should be reversed in 4.44, so I set the app_info.xml to finish tasks that were began with 4.42 with this App, and finish all other tasks of other previous versions with 4.44. Note that I might not have succeeded in this, this is Beta test.
Happy testing!

MacOS X Intel S5R3 App 4.44 available for Beta Test

You'r right, it may work with the new Clients, but doesn't reliably with the old ones.
I'll withdraw it, i.e. put 4.42 back on the Beta test page.
