Ok, I just tested the Mac OS X 64-bit build of Pd-double and it is
indeed
double precision. I say we start announcing it and spreading the

get people testing it, and maybe fixing up their code and/or

fixing things.
Katya, do you want to post such an announcement to pd-announce? I
think we
should also try to get it posted on the Create Digital Music blog.
It would
nice to have example patches of what double precision enables.
I'll do one
that uses 32-bit int timestamps.
Yeah it's now the right time to announce things and at the same time
be clear about what to expect and what to not (yet) expect from pd
double extended. Tomorrow I'll have time to do some detailed
announcements. Could we collect tests patches somewhere? I have a lot
of testpatches already in the original set on:
http://www.katjaas.nl/doubleprecision/doubleprecision.html (page
bottom)
Most of these are functional tests and performance tests, but there's
also a directory 'precision-tests' with examples, some of which are
also shown on mentioned page.
I was thinking it would be nice to have examples of what double
precision enables with audio. I guess its pretty subtle for the most
part, but your examples are good on your site. I like the idea of Pd-
double now becomes useful for general purpose math. And the IR
measurement example is a good one too. Perhaps this doesn't really
exist, but I was thinking it would be great to have a patch where you
could hear the difference between single and double precision.
