Pre-release of Juju 1.11.2 for OSX (testing needed)

[David Cheney]

Hi Rodrigo,

Just wanted to drop you a note and say that the stable version of
Juju, 1.12 is out. You can grab the source from this link (in the
downloads section)

https://launchpad.net/juju-core/1.12/1.12.0

If you had the time to take another pass at the homebrew recipe, I'd
love to work with you and help get it into homebrew.

Cheers

Dave
