Purr Data 2.0
First official release.
This is Jonathan Wilkes' version 2.0 of Ico Bukvic's Pd-l2ork, a flavor of Miller Puckette's graphical real-time data flow programming environment "Pure Data" a.k.a. Pd. The 2.0 version, nicknamed "Purr Data", offers some notable advancements over "classic" Pd-l2ork:
-
cross platform compatibility (runs on Linux, macOS and Windows)
-
modern GUI written in JavaScript (using nw.js)
-
improved SVG graphics for the patch display and Pd data structure visualizations
Purr Data continues to offer all of Pd-l2ork's GUI and usability improvements, a help browser giving access to help patches in PDDP (Pd Documentation Project) format, and a large collection of bundled 3rd party externals, while using the latest and greatest version of Pd's tried and proven real-time engine under the hood.
More release notes, including build instructions for the supported platforms, can be found in the README file.
