Hi Manish! Thanks for the reply and the explication on why the branches won't compile -- that makes perfect sense.
You mentioned making the branch compatible with the latest master; could you share some more details? Which branch do you mean -- is it on your GitHub? And would I just be able to do a normal "./sbt/sbt assembly" build, or do I need to do something else?
