Hi,
thank you for working and the 2018 update!
However, I noticed a small glitch (in my usage case):
I use the Excalibur spellchecker, that is installed in /Applications/TeX/
. However it stores its dictonaries along the binary (sadly).
Given that the mactexinstaller overwrites the /Applications/TeX-folder,
the user's dictionaries are gone thereafter. As a user, I will move my
Excalibur-Folder directly into the applicationfolder.
For the installer, it would be nice of course, if it could move the
dictionaries aside before overwriting them.
best
