I work on these distros 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. It is also possible to sponsor me to create new things or fix problems.
I'd definitely work on this more if I could get paid 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€/$1 from each downloader, I would be very happy.
This page is for test releases, which means they are likely to have problems. Unless you need the latest-greatest, or just want to help test (thanks!), you should download the latest stable release from one of the sources below:
Pd-0.41.4-extended has been released, you should use the releases listed above under Final Releases, not these old test versions. Once the release cycle for 0.42.5-extended starts again, hopefully this January, this page will become active again. Or if you are feeling intrepid, try one of nightly builds.
Here is the previous test release: Pd-0.41.4-extended-rc4
