[PD-announce] flext 0.4.7 - c++ layer for cross-platform external development

[Thomas Grill]

Hi all,
i hope there's nobody sitting in front of the computer, but all have a beer
at the pd convention in Graz!
Nevertheless, i just uploaded a new release of flext, a c++ layer for
cross-platform development of PD and Max/MSP externals.

Several bugs have been fixed and some features been added.
- added more functionality for boolean types
- protection for SIMD routines with count=0
- support exceptions for setup functions, object creation and destruction,
method handling
- small fixes for MSVC6 incompatibilites
- fixes for Max 4.5 headers
- support PD tooltips (only in devel branch at the moment)
- some changes and fixed for the attribute editor
- fixed $0-arguments in attribute saving
- introducing ring buffer for message queue (thanks to Tom Schouten)
- printing of atoms into buffer with better error checking
- in flext::StopThread don't wait for thread to have stopped!

and some more....
