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.
