Re: 5.0 RC2 release

 

The Mac stuff needs at least another week, and then some testing. Sorry folks.

We definitely could use help on the Mac stuff.  Please see
https://github.com/wayneandlayne/kicad-mac-builder and the issues
list, but you should be able to start up and use the build.sh script
to get things going.

The "stable" builds will be done on 10.11, but right now there is a
lot of replication and verification work.  i.e. get it building and
packaging on your system, and verify that footprints/symbols/every
type of script/templates/demos are going in the right directory.

There are a bunch of issues on the github repo, feel free to email me
if you want pointers at something you can do.
