version:10.14.0 releasedate:2017-08-24

• The latest features and API requires Xcode 8.3 and the bundled iOS, tvOS and watchOS SDKs;
• Apple Xcode 8.3 requires a Mac running OSX 10.12 (Sierra) or newer;

This release is built upon our open sourced SDK, using the d15-4 branch and is based on Mono 5.2 (2017-04).

This is mostly a bug fix releases as most engineering efforts are to support Xcode 9 this fall.
