I just uploaded two new Mac binaries based on 0.4.1:

For Leopard (ppc and i386 architectures):

    https://github.com/downloads/Sharpie/TeXworks/TeXworks.0.4.1-829-aa010eb-Leopard.dmg

For Snow Leopard (x86_64 architecture):

The only major change in the build process used to produce these
binaries is that some core Qt plugins are copied into TeXworks.app.
This means that things like drag-and-drop of image files and text
codecs should now be fully supported.

The binaries still include a version of Poppler that is dependent on
the Fontconfig library included in Apple's X11 package.  This means
the PDF viewer may not work properly on systems that don't have X11
fonts and configuration info.  Howeve, the X11 package is installed by
default since OS X 10.5.0---a user would have to go out of their way
to set up a system that does not include it.

There is work underway to revise patches to Poppler that let it use
the native Quartz font system instead of Fontconfig.

If anyone wishes to submit patches that improve the CMake build system
or the packaging of TeXworks on OS X, pull requests are welcomed at:
