Are the todos done?

[VictoriousRaptor]

IIRC we can't detect correct prerelease version with Squirrel? (semver v2 not supported by squirrel)

[jjw24]

Yeah ok, issues of Squirrel identified in #1547

@jjw24 @VictoriousRaptor Any progress on switching to Clowd.Squirrel to be at a minimum properly version our prerelease builds?

[jjw24]

There is a PR tao has done and I outline a few issues that need to be addressed and further tested, if we can sort them out then we can start the migration.
