Purr Data 2.8.0

Purr Data 2.8.0 has been released:

Changes:

Constrained dragging. Version 2.8.0 adds the ability to drag iemguis, subpatches, graphs, grid, and Scope~, with a constraint either vertically or horizontally. Iemgui labels and the [cnv] object also allow constrained dragging.
Just move the pointer in the corners of the little "drag rectangle" that appears when the relevant iemgui is selected. (The [cnv] object and the red gop rectangle have two such "drag rectangles.")
Fixed bug with scalar events. In some cases opening a subpatch could unbind the event for the scalar.
Improved help patch for [line] object. The new help file does a better job explaining the function of the 3rd inlet and specifies what happens when the grain size doesn't divide evenly into the total ramp duration.
Added a "footgun" GUI preset. A user stated that Max/MSP lets the user selectively hide cords. Well, in Purr Data we let the user hide all cords and xlets with the "footgun" preset. The name is self-documenting but may come in handy for patches with so much spaghetti that the text in the object boxes is unreadable.

Please report all bugs on the issue tracker:

Best,
Jonathan

We've got a minor release 2.8.1 that fixes some bugs and addresses a few usability issues:

fixed a bug where the "Cancel" button would work on the "Do you want to save..." dialog
added separate help files for [draw svg] and [table]. These used to navigate directly to canvas-help.pd which is confusing for new users
fixed a race by removing an old code path no longer needed by the GUI. This could sometimes be triggered by created a new object and immediately clicking afterwards on a trackpad.
fixed position of cat sprite in the "About Pd" patch. (Thanks to nerrons for this one!)
changed default font-size for new patches to 12 for improved readability. This can be reverted back to size 10 font in the GUI Preferences tab by removing the "-font-size" flag.
