Parity Stable branch does not compile on OSX

[mudlee]

Hi all. Parity stable branch does not compile for me on OSX with the newest (1.25.0) rust.

I'm running:

• Which Parity version?: stable branch as a date of 5th April 2018
• Which operating system?: MacOS
• How installed?: from source

See the output here: https://gist.github.com/mudlee/829364a63a6acbd359705cd2c11a7f8f

Hi, you are using an old version of app_dirs it should be version 1.2.1.

if you are running the latest version try:

$ cargo clean && cargo build

But... how should upgrade? The rust is the latest (installed today than rustup update), and I cloned out this repo today. The master compiles well, the stable does not.

Indeed. We would need to either release an update to our stable and beta branches, or you can build them using an old version of the rust compiler (new versions of rustc broke old versions of app_dirs)
