>
> This release is dedicated to Jamie Tittle, aka tigital, who recently died
> of cancer.  He was a long time and key contributor to Gem and Pd in general,
> even while he was in the hospital undergoing treatment.  He is sorely missed
> in this community, and I am sure by many others.
>
> Some highlights of this release:
>
>  * more functional namespace tools ([declare] and [import])
>  * new appearance designed to enhance readability
>  * GLSL shader support in Gem
>  * usability improvements
>  * on Mac OS X, you can now build "standalone" applications
>  * standard locations for user-installed externals
>  * many bug fixes
>
>
> Here's the rough changelog:
>
> - next visual appearance designed for readability
>
> - default locations for user-installed externals, helpfiles, etc.
>  GNU/Linux:  /usr/local/lib/pd-externals and ~/pd-externals
>  Mac OS X: /Library/Pd and ~/Library/Pd
>  Windows: %ProgramFiles%/Common Files/Pd and %UserProfile%/Application
> Data/Pd
>
> - lots of standard key bindings added:
> Enter/Return for OK
> Escape for Cancel
> Ctrl/Cmd-W closes all windows
> on Mac OS X, Cmd-` cycles thru open windows
> on Mac OS X, Cmd-m minimizes windows
> Ctrl/Cmd-R raises/lowers Pd window
> Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-R shrinks/grows Pd window
> Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-L clears Pd window's text console
> Ctrl/Cmd-B opens the Help Browser
>
> - you can now use "~" in all paths to mean home folder, and on Windows you
> can use environment variables, lie %UserProfile% in paths
>
> - improved Cut/Copy/Paste support for working in object and message boxes
>
> - fixed Cut/Copy/Paste for the Pd window's console
>
> - [declare] and [import] now sorted out for loading (but much work needs to
> be done before there namespace support is complete)
>
> - "File -> Save As" defaults to the Home folder (~/) on Mac OSX
>
> - new patches default to the folder last saved in
>
> - included pgp_opengl aka 3dp on GNU/Linux and Mac OS X
>
> - 'hardware' and 'deprecated' removed from libraries loaded by default
>
> - On Debian/Ubuntu, the packages now install into /usr rather than
> /usr/local
>
> - On Mac OS X, you can now build "standalone" applications from the File
> menu.
>
> - bug fixes and clean up of [hid] and mapping externals
>
> - included config in Info.plist for the Spotlight Importer
>
> KNOWN BUGS
>
> - check http://puredata.info/dev/bugtracker before reporting bugs
>
> - Escape, Enter, and Ctrl/Cmd-W don't close the Path and Startup
> preferences
>
> - pdp_opengl is alpha and will definitely crash Pd
>
> - loading pdp_opengl will crash Pd if X11 is not open before trying to load
> it
>
> - the GUI runs slower in some situations
