[PD-dev] Suggestions for 0.54

[Alexandre Torres Porres]

Ok, merging season is on and people have been suggesting PRs and there's
lot of actions on the github repository. Here's my curated list to you
Miller.

First, something that I hope we cannot wait any longer as I first reported
this bug like, I dunno, in version 0.46 :) a fix has been sitting for quite
a while. This PR allocates the correct buffer size for delays based on the
actual block size and is really important for some patches ==> *delwrite~:
allocate extra space based on actual block size*
https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/708

This is a nice fix that affects me with my tutorial and allows more
colummns to be displayed, should be worry free I guess ==> *allow
helpbrowser to display any amount of columns*
https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/1240

*And now some PRs and features by myself...*

Some features for [pdcontrol] (and I just pinged you about it on github for
it) https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/828/

*allow flags to come first in [text sequence] *
https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/1581 <== I actually consider
this a bug (not as a feature as marked), it is not the way things usually
work and it is in conflict with the way things are documented

Some cool, useful and simple features:
- load seeds based on system time for pseudo random number generators
https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/1719
- Add font size argument for [drawtext]
https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/1622
- [oscparse] improvements https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/1623
- Add channel inlet/outlet & argument for [makenote]
https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/1670

Here's an old one that is more problematic:
add an inlet to [receive] https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/604
it needs another PR which is "make pd_unbind safe"
https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/1760

*This one need to solve conflicts, I'll try to find time and do it right
away, but tell me if I shouldn't bother maybe* add '-h' flag for
hexadecimal color in Data Structures.
https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/1621

------------

No pull requests but issues and requests I'd hope we could deal with but I
know it might be too late in the game

use same properties for horizontal/vertical versions of slider and radio
https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/issues/1757 (hopefully IOhannes
could do this one)

allow data through signal connections ==>
https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/issues/1887

This is a quite old issue that I'd just hope we could have some attention
https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/issues/234

Cheers
