OpenRefine

@stevemaser This has been discussed in our issue tracker: https://t.co/tcizDhXyl2

It’s not part of the 3.10.1 release (which focused on notarization), but the path forward is fairly clear. Contributions or feedback on the issue are very welcome.

[OpenRefine @OpenRefine]

We just released #OpenRefine 3.10.1, with the Mac build correctly notarized. If you don't use a Mac, you can ignore this release.
