[PD] libpd for Unity still alive?

[Thomas Mayer]

Hello all,

I have started a discussion about the C# API over at Github:

https://github.com/libpd/libpd/issues/153

To be clear, the restructuring of the C# API should not remove the
current thin wrapper around the C API, but will additionally offer a
more idiomatic API, and should be prepared for multi-instance support,
that is about to come soon(TM).

Maybe starting this weekend I will start with a stubbed version of a new
API, and will put it in a new branch over at Github, and encourage you
all to give feedback, C# programmer or not.

I have some ideas, but not that much time.

Thanks,
Thomas
