• progress on builds for Mac OSX

This release marks the end of a Git flow-like branching model (in which most work is done on the develop branch and merged into master on release tags). We will move to a Gitlab flow-like branching model in which development will happen on master (and feature branches) and then merged into a releases branch when a new release tag is added.

Also, after this release we'll be removing some defunct and non-core code from this repo to reduce complexity as much as possible and encourage contributions.
