Re: macos rc3

 

Adam, this is excellent!  Thanks for the _significant_ work you've put into
making this release.  It's really looking smooth.

Can you post a link to where we should submit issues related to the Mac
build?  Do you want them in the standard bug tracker or over at github?

Best-
Seth
