    Finally, it's done! The most polished release of Pd yet. We are further refining Pd into a truly powerful and usable programming platform.

    http://puredata.org/downloads/

    This release is dedicated to Jamie Tittle, aka tigital, who recently died of cancer. He was a long time and key contributor to Gem and Pd in general, even while he was in the hospital undergoing treatment. He is sorely missed in this community, and I am sure by many others.

    Some highlights of this release:

    * more functional namespace tools ([declare] and [import])
    * new appearance designed to enhance readability
    * GLSL shader support in Gem
    * usability improvements
    * on Mac OS X, you can now build "standalone" applications
    * standard locations for user-installed externals
    * many bug fixes

    Here's the rough changelog:

    • next visual appearance designed for readability

    • default locations for user-installed externals, helpfiles, etc.
      GNU/Linux: /usr/local/lib/pd-externals and ~/pd-externals
      Mac OS X: /Library/Pd and ~/Library/Pd
      Windows: %ProgramFiles%/Common Files/Pd and %UserProfile%/Application Data/Pd

    • lots of standard key bindings added:
      Enter/Return for OK
      Escape for Cancel
      Ctrl/Cmd-W closes all windows
      on Mac OS X, Cmd-` cycles thru open windows
      on Mac OS X, Cmd-m minimizes windows
      Ctrl/Cmd-R raises/lowers Pd window
      Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-R shrinks/grows Pd window
      Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-L clears Pd window's text console
      Ctrl/Cmd-B opens the Help Browser

    • you can now use "~" in all paths to mean home folder, and on Windows you can use environment variables, lie %UserProfile% in paths

    • improved Cut/Copy/Paste support for working in object and message boxes

    • fixed Cut/Copy/Paste for the Pd window's console

    • [declare] and [import] now sorted out for loading (but much work needs to be done before there namespace support is complete)

    • "File -> Save As" defaults to the Home folder (~/) on Mac OSX

    • new patches default to the folder last saved in

    • included pgp_opengl aka 3dp on GNU/Linux and Mac OS X

    • 'hardware' and 'deprecated' removed from libraries loaded by default

    • On Debian/Ubuntu, the packages now install into /usr rather than /usr/local

    • On Mac OS X, you can now build "standalone" applications from the File menu.

    • bug fixes and clean up of [hid] and mapping externals

    • included config in Info.plist for the Spotlight Importer

    KNOWN BUGS

    • check http://puredata.info/dev/bugtracker before reporting bugs

    • Escape, Enter, and Ctrl/Cmd-W don't close the Path and Startup preferences

    • pdp_opengl is alpha and will definitely crash Pd

    • loading pdp_opengl will crash Pd if X11 is not open before trying to load it

    • the GUI runs slower in some situations

    The new visual style is very nice indeed,
