Hi,
There are some release candidates up now... Hopefully they go ok :). Please
see the changelog below.
We have fixed a couple of real bugs, and have a few new features.
At the moment... OS X El Capitan (and hopefully all later versions) are the
only supported ones due to complicated build issues.
Cheers, S.
