[PD] [PD-announce] accountant's delight: deken v0.9

[IOhannes m zmölnig]

hi

i'd like to announce the release of deken-v0.9

   https://github.com/pure-data/deken/releases/v0.9

the GUI-plugin can be installed via deken.
just go to "Help -> Find externals" and enter
"deken-plugin" as the search string.

this is the version i'd like to get into the next Pd release as the 
standard "find externals" implementation.

so please test!
