[ANN] Release 9.6.2 RC-2

[Sean Cole (Pi)]

The transition to AS Mac OS will be pretty seamless. XCode flags up most of
the code base that needs modding.

Where it might fall over for us is if we use old widgets that won't get
updated for any potential MacOS code deprecations.

But LC, I'm sure, will keep up-to-date (ish) as we see already. LC probably
performs better than the previous Intel Mac equivalent on the newer
machines.
