<div><br></div><div>Finally, it's done! The most polished release of Pd yet. We are further refining Pd into a truly powerful and usable programming platform. </div><div><br></div> <div><a href="http://puredata.org/downloads/" target="_blank">http://puredata.org/downloads/</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>This release is dedicated to Jamie Tittle, aka tigital, who recently died of cancer. He was a long time and key contributor to Gem and Pd in general, even while he was in the hospital undergoing treatment. He is sorely missed in this community, and I am sure by many others.</div>

<div> * usability improvements</div><div> * on Mac OS X, you can now build "standalone" applications</div><div> * standard locations for user-installed externals</div><div> * many bug fixes</div><div><font face="Helvetica"><br>
