I throw a look inside "download.php" The "problem" is that just files ending with ".dmg" and ".exe" are flagged as "TYPE_INSTALLER". Since such flag triggers header creation that lead to automatic-download (in "latest.php"), it happens that MacOS has no "TYPE_INSTALLER" in version 1.3.1 as no ".dmg" exists for that release.. ...and no authomatic-download starts.
NOTE: this DOES NOT happen NOW, since current 1.3.2 version has a ".dmg" for MacOS.. ..so now th issue is "sleeping". Proposal: add a fallback that forces a ".zip" file to be authomatic-downloaded if no 'native' "TYPE_INSTALLER" (.dmg, .exe) file exist for a specific architecture.
