Desperately looking for a OS X Oculus runtime

Hello, after a year making VR games with Oculus Rift on PC/Windows, I've bought a brand new Macbook Pro 15 and can't find any oculus runtime for it.
As I had installed a version on a old Macbook 13 I thought it was still available but support seems to have been stopped since a few versions. :shock:

I'm quite disappointed as I've bought a powerful Macbook which is quite expensive for developing VR apps on OS X and it's seems it's not possible any more (I don't want to believe it). I can't even find an old runtime so I could use my helmet with old OS X stuff.
Could someone help ?

Here a the specs of my MacBook Pro, I think it would work OK.
Display: 2800x1800
GPU: NVIDIA 750M
CPU: i7 2.3GHz
Mem: 16GB

      Go to https://developer.oculus.com/downloads/

      From the left dropdown select "Platform: PC"

      From the right dropdown select "0.5.0.1-Beta"

      Runtime and SDK for OSX should appear.

      Not there now.

      Any other link for Mac users please?

      I know Oculus is not now supporting Mac & Linux but I still have a SDK2 kit which is useable on my Mac BUT I want to install on my new Mac Pro. Or should I ask Oculus for a refund?

      OSX download link please.

       I urgently need Oculus Rift DK2 runtime for os x  (0.5.0.1-beta) but now oculus download page has changed and I am afraid it is not available for download. 
      Anyone has an alternative link to download it or can send me the runtime in a private message?
