[PD] [PD-announce] pd 0.45 test release

[katja]

Hi Miller,

That's a lot of new, very useful features! It is really cool to have a
decent text editor within Pd. I like how methods on named [text] and
[array] objects can be called from any place (depending on scope),
since you can get output where you want it instead of everything
coming from one outlet. Therefore [text] is more powerful than
[cyclone/coll] indeed. Wasn't Jonathan Wilkes proposing a similar
approach for glists in general some time ago?

I compiled Pd 0.45-0test1 on Xubuntu 10.4. I'm sorry to report the
following: if the help patch for [list] is opened, Pd exits with
'Segmentation fault (core dumped)'.
