Hans, Pd-0.43.1-double-20111009-macosx106-x86_64.dmg has double
precision indeed, it shows 'PD_FLOATPRECISION = 64 bits' at startup
and core objects work correctly. At the moment I can not verify that
externals are also built in double precision. There's a lot of
nonsensical output from objects but this may be caused by their code
as well. We're facing a period of intensive bugfixing, that's for
sure.

Double precision Pd extended is now a mutant. Part of it's DNA has
changed and it's crippled. In fact it is in a disastrous state, but
still I'm as excited as when I saw double precision in my own builds
for the first time. I hope the project will survive impatience,
disappointments and distractions.
