[PD-announce] new [hid] release + simple mapping objects

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

This version of [hid] fixes the crasher bug when you try to open a  
non-existant device.

I am currently working on making a suite of objects for mapping  
controller data.  I am making a number of objects like [mouse],  
[joystick], etc. which all output range (0 to 1 for axes).  Then the  
mapping objects all take data of this range and output 0 to 1 so that  
the data can be easily mapped and scaled to parameters.  Included are  
log, square root, and cube root; and exponent, square, and cube; as  
well as a basic smoothing object.

The overarching idea for these objects is to make clearly defined,  
high-level objects for beginners and for rapid prototyping when using  
external controllers in Pd patches.  At least point I am looking for  
ideas, comments, etc. about other possible mapping functions
