 This bug is directly related to changes made to the README.md file by
 commit e271cdc, when it was merged as part of the RISCOS-related PR1587 on
 18 April 2019.

 Prior to this commit, the ‘Credits’ section of the README file contained a
 link to ScummVM’s online Credits page
 (<https://www.scummvm.org/credits/>).
 This changes that link to target the locally bundled AUTHORS file.

 Mac OS X daily builds are bundled with the improved AUTHORS.rtf file, not
 the plain text AUTHORS file, so this link returns a ‘File not found’ error
 in the web browser.

 In addition, a new Section 11 (‘Changelog’) has been added to the README
 file, which contains a link that targets the locally bundled NEWS.md file.

 Mac OS X daily builds are bundled with both a plain text NEWS.md file and
 a NEWS.html file. In this case, the link returns the plain text version,
 instead of the properly formatted html version (which actively links to
 ScummVM’s online Commit page).

 Both of these files (AUTHORS.rtf & NEWS.html) are easily, and correctly,
 accessed from the ScummVM app’s Help Menu, so I don’t see any value
 duplicating these links in the README.html file.

 The online Credits page link at least offers a version with navigation
 links, and doesn’t require TextEdit to launch, so it’s worth retaining in
 the README.

 Personally, I’d prefer to see the commit reverted, at least as far as Mac
 OS X is concerned.

 Current Daily Build: 2.1.0git5224-gc84943cbc7(24 April 2019)
 Platform: Intel Mac (OS X 10.6.8, 10.11.6)
