[PD] [PD-announce] Pd-extended 0.43.4 beta release, its almost done!

Mon Nov 5 02:24:28 CET 2012

I tried with various versions of Pd vanilla and extended, always getting
a load of 12% of my Mac mini 1.66 gHz machine (system 10.4.11, don't know
what processor generation).  If indeed the change in load comes from
upgrading to the newest Pd extended it sounds like the new portaudio
is doing us in.

cheers
Miller
