Finally there is a first true Pd-double nightly build available for
testing, almost one month after the first announcement. It is an OSX
i386 build. Other builds will hopefully follow soon.

Beware! This pre-pre-alpha Pd-double-extended is probably the buggiest
Pd you've ever seen. The largest part of it still has to be tested and
precision-fixed. Precision-issues can in some cases produce ridiculous
output values, in the range of billions or trillions. Use an analog
volume control when testing Pd-double-extended, and set it _low_ to
start with.
parts which are so far precision-fixed and tested on OSX and Linux:
most of pd-double core
externals/extra (except [pd~])
externals/creb
externals/smlib
externals/vbap
precision-fix priorities:
- making pd-double core work for Windows
- find and fix pointer typecast cases resulting in dangerously high
output values
- fix cw_binaural to compile and work in double precision so it can be
included in the LIB_TARGETS again
long term:
- make unit tests for all classes in all libs
- fix all precision issues
- develop a method to prevent cross-precision lib-loads
