[cross-project-issues-dev] Mars M6 is available; with a caution for Mac Users

Mars M6 of the Simultaneous Release repository is now visible and ready for updates, EXCEPT for Mac users.
 
Mac users, you must start with a fresh download, for the new "Mac App" layout; you can not "update" to M6, over the

previous "directory layout".  
And worse, if you do so, or already have, you will end up with a broken installation. Our apologies in advance.
But if you already have a broken installation, it is "recoverable" without too many steps. For details, see

https://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform-releng/Issues_related_to_Mac_App_installations

The M6 EPP "all-in-one" packages, for a fresh installation, are available (or, will be soon, if not right this minute) at the usual "Developer Builds" tab, of the main download site:
https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/index-developer.php

The repository, at .../releases/mars, is a composite, consisting of 3 milestones (M6, M5, and M4), following our tradition of having three milestones available there. Let us know if that causes any specific installation problems (opening a bug in cross-project component, is best).

Thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make this milestone available, and thanks in advance to everyone who will test it well, so that M7 can be even better.
