Hi Jim: Such a native Mac OS X device would be quite welcome. However, that's new development where the cutoff for pushing to the master branch is roughly one month after the latest release. The reason why I decided to assert that policy as release manager is to provide plenty of testing time during a release cycle for any new development. So we are long past that cutoff for this release cycle, but I still strongly encourage merging bug fixes (like one of your two suggestions for fixing the eop bug) and documentation (e.g., the documentation for developers of modern devices that was discussed) to master for quite a while longer during this current release cycle. With regard to new development such as the new GDI and Mac OS X devices, ideally you should develop and mature them now on private development branches so you will be prepared to merge them to master just after the release of 5.11.1 (and certainly within the first month after that date).
