* shorter SHM names on macOS
* fix segfault on macOS when string is empty
* apple version of read exe path
* ifdef for linux specific API
* fixed test for shm and udp socket
* updated release notes
* one doesnt need to open shared memory to call removesharedmemory, and calling hasMemoryvalid without opening will cause segfault (not used now, but could in the future)
* fix test on shm
* freeing obsolete shm withoua a 'isValid' should access raw pointers. Need to move this all into the shm class
* fixed obsolete shm free issue
* minor
* ensuring the test works platform independent for size of int
* added a 'isValid' member in shared memory (also updated shm version) with default true, any access to shared memory() checks also for validity. any free will set this to false and then unmap shm. Any access to shm will then check validity in python.
* fixed tests for shm
* added tests in python as well
