[PD-dev] End of iPd hiatus

[Peter Brinkmann]

Hi Chris,
The new libpd is a C library that gently attaches itself to the existing
code base, requiring only minimal changes, the most important of which have
already been accepted into the official version of pd.  On top of the C
library there is some JNI glue for using libpd with Java (or Processing),
and on top of the JNI glue there is a  lot of Android code, including a
tentative RjDj client for Android.

Here's the current state of affairs on the iPhone:  I've been working with
the RjDj crowd all week, and by now we've solidly integrated the new libpd
into the setup at RjDj.  The main glue between libpd and RjDj is a
PdController class in Objective C that wraps libpd, takes care of the
necessary thread synchronization, and translates between pd and the iOS
audio API.  I will make an attempt to persuade RjDj to release PdController
with an open source license.  The initial reaction has been promising, but
the final decision will have to wait until the CEO returns from his
vacation.  I figure I'll have a definite answer in ten days or so.
Best,
     Peter
