[PD-dev] pd 0.52-2 release plan

Mon Mar 28 16:39:25 CEST 2022

Actually I think it can still be used (for instance, fork the comms to a
separate file and use a text editor to see what happened.  Also, I use the
subprocess in 'ascii' mode to show people how the synchronization works -
it can be run in ascii mode right from the command line.

So still useful, at first for ease of debugging, but now primarily
didactically.
