2.14.2

Please also check the JGU packages for binary Linux packages on the OBS. Download

Jonathan is taking a well-deserved break from the release treadmill, so here goes by yours truly. This is just a bugfix release, there are no changes in functionality. I also added a 64 bit package for Windows using the new mingw64 support which got added in 2.14.1 (requires Windows 7 or later); please let me know how it works for you.

Changelog:

• fix a few bugs that prevented the OBS builds to work
• added an option to configure the dpkg-deb tool to tar_em_up.sh

2.14.1

Please also check the JGU packages for binary Linux packages on the OBS. Download

Jonathan's changelog:

• fixed case sensitive searches in the search browser
• fixed broken keyboard navigation in the search browser
• added bookmarking tool for search browser to customize the home page

2.13.0

Please also check the JGU packages for binary Linux packages on the OBS. Download

Jonathan's changelog:

• ported Vanilla's [inlet~ fwd] argument (reimplemented to avoid stack allocation and various other problems) (Thanks to Guillem!)
• scrollbar fix for optimal zoom (Thanks Ico!)
• avoid null selectors in core where trivial to do so, gracefully handle and annotate them when/if they happen. Also added an experimental [debuginfo] object so we can output a message with a null selector (and other methods in the future good for testing)
• ported Vanilla patch for [pow~] handling negative samples in input
• ported [savestate] from Vanilla
• ported array, scalar "bang" methods
• add base argument and inlet for [log]
• add zcheckgetfn to m_pd.h for checking method signatures match before doing an end run around typedmess. This is used for the reimplementation of [inlet~ fwd]. (Thanks to Guillem for this)
• port and re-implement Vanilla's "#ffffff" syntax for setting iemgui colors. Additionally, support the "#fff" short syntax. We're not currently saving the symbol colors in the Pd file format, yet. A warning is printed about this since it means we're still storing the lossy color format. A future version will save the symbol colors, but we want to ship a few releases supporting the new syntax before making this breaking file format change.
• added "test-object" abstraction for doing more detailed testing of objects
• fixed bug where the box width was wrong when editing certain objects (thanks to Guillem)
• port "seed" method for [noise~]
• throttle canvas_motion (part 1 of 2 of getting rid of exponential explosion when moving selections)
• port [text] "sort" method
• when clicking an error link, bring the relevant object into the viewport and animate it to make it easy for the user to find
• add "-alsaadd" flag with pulse device for pulse support (Thanks to Sam!)
• fixed some alsa bugs
• ported from Vanilla: preserve phase in [clone] after [all( message, fixed a crasher
• expand and improve the type hints for errors with edge case atoms (null selectors, null symbols, "floatlike" symbol payloads, etc.)
• improvements to french translations (Thanks Joseph!)
• update pd-lua compatibility with Lua 5.4 (Thanks Albert!)
• port multi-step undo from Vanilla (Thanks Guillem!)
• initial touch support in GUI (Thanks Albert and spidercatnat!)
• zoom viewport fix (Thanks Albert!)

2.12.0

Please also check the JGU packages for binary Linux packages on the OBS. Download

Jonathan's changelog:

• vastly improved window sizing and scrollbar behavior. Now things like the help patches with content that fits in the viewport should load without scrollbars present. (thanks to Ico)
• show current text name (if any) in text editor for [text define]
• ported [text define] "send" method from Vanilla
• ported [text insert] from Vanilla
• ported [dac]/[adc] set method from Vanilla
• added French translation and improve German translation (thanks to Albert and Joseph Gastelais)
• ensure plot traces remain in the bounding box of the graph (thanks to Ico)
• ported "symbol" method for [float] from Vanilla
• added "type hints" for errors wrt unusual or problematic Pd messages. This includes
  • symbol atom which would be parsed as a float if found in a Pd file
  • same thing but with symbol messages, e.g., "symbol 43"
  • empty symbol messages "symbol"
  • empty symbol selector ""
  • null selector
  • symbol atoms/messages with weird "floatlike" data that would overflow if loaded by a Pd file.
• ported "send" methods from Vanilla for [int], [float], and [value]
• document the "tempo" messages for relevant objects
• fixed a crasher with pasting from Pd patch file (thanks to Ico)
• fixed a long-standing crasher where editing an open GOP window would hide everything except the patch cords under certain circumstances
• an object/gop being edited now has the same size as one that isn't being edited (thanks to Ico)
• fixed keyboard shortcut for dropdown that caused problems for some keyboard types (thanks to Albert)
• fixed ggee/image border selection when on GOP
• fixed long-standing bug with route where a bang wouldn't get sent to the reject outlet
• fixed bug where nested gops erroneously showed a selection rectangle
• fixed a crasher with resizing a nesting GOP when dragging with the mouse
• custom scrollbars from Pd-l2ork 1.0 (thanks to Ico)
• increased gatom character width to 160
• fixed off-by-one problem with iemgui label positions
• fixed bar graph display when graph has its own window
• made a larger hitbox for xlet connection for easier patching (thanks to Ico)
• make default CSS match pd-l2ork 1.0 style
• different, "greyed-out" style for inlet hover (as an inlet can't begin a connection with a mouse, but an outlet can)

Jonathan's changelog:
