New development release available (2.99_005), version 3 is imminent

[Shawn Laffan]

A new development release of Biodiverse is now available.  This should
be the final instalment in the 2.99 development series before version 3
is released.

You can access it through
https://github.com/shawnlaffan/biodiverse/wiki/Downloads

Releases are available for Windows and Mac at this time.  A Linux
release can be made if one is needed.

The relevant blog post is at
https://biodiverse-analysis-software.blogspot.com/2019/08/version-299005-released-version-3-is.html

The main highlight of this release is that cluster and region grower
analyses can be exported to shapefile format, with each branch getting
its own polygon or point features.  More details are in the blog post:

Please give it a test run and report any errors or suggest any
improvements.  You can use this email list or the project issue tracker
