Does Version 7.0.4 work with Xcode 6.3.1?

[Mark Waddingham]

Hi Ralph,

I believe it is the two crashes which are holding up 6.7.5-rc-1 rather than Xcode 6.3 integration (that was, as far as I can see, straightforward this time as it was just a minor SDK update) - we identified an issue with the fixes in the final build so had to rebuild again. Hopefully things should all check out for public release early next week.

Mark.
