Does Prism run on Macs with the new Retina displays?

In 2012, Apple released a MacBook Pro version with a "retina" display. This means the number of pixels per inch is twice the usual standard, and the number of pixels per square inch is four times that of other computers. Prism Mac (5 and 6) run fine on these computers. Prism takes advantage of the high resolution when displaying data and results tables, and when displaying graphs and layouts. Everything is super crisp. 

The icons and other art work included with Prism 5 and 6 were made at conventional resolution, so don't take advantage of the super high retina resolution. 

Prism 7 was designed to work perfectly on retina displays. 

There also is a problem with MacBook pros new in April 2015 where the left navigation panel doesn't work. This is fixed in 6.0g.
