[PD] [PD-announce] ELSE 1.0 rc6 with Live Electronics Tutorial is out! Lua support and Stay tuned for PlugData 0.6.3

[Alexandre Torres Porres]

ELSE 1.0 rc6 with Live Electronics Tutorial is out!

This is a quick update, coming quite sooner than I wanted from the last
release, which was also just released to end the year. The reason I updated
this one was to coordinate this release with an update of PlugData by
Timothy Schoen! Another excuse to release this is to celebrate the 6th
anniversary of ELSE development.

I guess most of you know but it doesn't hurt to stress it out. PlugData is
an awesome fork of Pd, still under a 'pre-release' phase (to end when a
proper 1.0 version is out). It has a fancy GUI and is completely compatible
to Pd-Vanilla. It ships with ELSE and Cyclone (so MAX users get an entry
door). What's also amazing is that PlugData runs as a plugin in any DAW!

There's been a great collaboration between me and PlugData people. This
means ELSE behaves as some sort of "*All batteries included*" for PlugData,
but not all of ELSE's GUI objects have been ported yet. For some time I've
been adding a few objects to ELSE from requests by Tim and PlugData users
and Tim has also added new objects to ELSE.

I recently got requests to include OSC support in ELSE, as well as support
for LUA, so I did it and this is supposed to be available in PlugData 0.6.3
coming out soon. For the first time, I am just including an existing third
party external (pdlua) into ELSE. I will try not to make any modifications
and keep the same name and compatibility. I will try... let's see... I am
using Albert Graef's repository as a basis and just included its new 0.11.1
release, see https://github.com/agraef/pd-lua/releases This kinda felt onto
my lap as Tim is really concerned with compatibility and doesn't want to
support anything other than ELSE and Cyclone.

For a detailed changelog of ELSE and the Live Electronics Tutorial, see
https://github.com/porres/pd-else/releases/tag/v1.0-rc6

ELSE is already available in deken for the main architectures and you find
more options in the link above.

For the next update of ELSE I hope I take more time and include the things
I already wanted to for the last release.

An attempt at a PlugData 0.6.3 release was already made today but it isn't
really working well, I will reply and write back when it's really ok and
safe to download it, stay tuned. I think this thing is awesome and kind of
a game changer for the Pd world.

Cheers
Alex
