[PD-dev] plans for next Pd release

[Christof Ressi]

Hi Miller,

great to see Pd 0.52 approaching!

Here's a list of my open PRs: 
https://github.com/pulls?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Apr+author%3ASpacechild1+archived%3Afalse+user%3Apure-data

I made sure that they all apply cleanly.

---

Some are trivial:

* https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/769

* https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/764

---

Others need more discussion:

* https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/630

* https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/849

---

Here are some simple feature PRs:

* [goprect( method to dynamically change the GOP rect: 
https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/627

* allow to receive large UDP packets: 
https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/1122

* [clone]: allow resizing and always have at least one inlet: 
https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/1069

* "-open-with-args" command line option: 
https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/1064

---

These are bit larger, but still reasonable (at least I like to think so :-)

* new [list store] methods: [set(, [insert(, [delete(, [send(: 
https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/594

* [poly]: allow resizing, dynamically set note stealing, sustain pedal 
mode: https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/661

* new [list] methods: [list foreach], [list join] and [list unjoin]: 
https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/595

---

Finally, this one would make me very happy: 
https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/1117

I would definitely see this as a temporary solution. After Gem and 
ophelia (who else?) have adapted their macOS input handling code, the 
option could be removed entirely.


Cheers,

Christof
