[PD] multiple instances of a patch forbidden in 0.49, why?

[Alexandre Torres Porres]

anyway, this seems to be gone in the last test5 version, right?

so does it mean the entry "Opening patches from menu, command line, or
messages to "pd" first check of the file is already open and if so only
bring the existing patch to front." in the release notes is no longer true?
