Pd Installers
These installers are getting pretty stable. I work on them whenever I
have time, here and there, generally in bursts of a couple weeks every
few months. All of my work in GPL'ed and in the CVS, so if you want
something fixed or done, its possible to do it yourself. That is what I
did with these installers, building upon the work of so many others.
I'd definitely work on this more if I could get a little money to do it.
Then I wouldn't have to do other freelance jobs. No amount is too
small, anything is appreciated. If I got $1 from each downloader, I
would be very happy.
Final Releases
See the Downloads page
for less beta (aka "final") releases. This
page is for the test releases. The core Pd distro is available on

Pd-extended Test Releases
Lots of changes, got the first complete(-ish) build with the new extended
build system. I left as much of the old functionality in place as possible,
definitely were it was being used. But there are some changes that break
backwards compatibility, thought they should be noticed by few, and be easy to
fix going forward.
Some highlights:
- The horrible help menu has been replaced by the quick help browser.
- The Windows release is now compiled with MinGW and has all of the
same patches to the core as the other two.
- preliminary international character support. It seems to work fine
in comments, not yet in objects and messages.
- libdir format: basically a libdir is a directory that has both the objects
and the help files together in one folder. It can be added using -lib or
the StartUp preferences, or you can access them via geiger namespaces,
i.e. [mylibrary/myobject].
- special characters allow in setup function/file names for objects. This
makes objects like [||~] possible without having to be in a library. Now
they can be either .pd files or individual .pd_darwin files (thanks
IOhannes for the patch).

./pd
in order for it to find all its stuff

them.

Things seem to be working fine. Try things out and post to the list
