I'm happy to help in this process where I can. I did it myself not so long ago, since the pd-gui-rewrite/0.43 development was based off of vanilla, then I had to port all my changes from pd-extended 0.42 to vanilla 0.43 I also used that as a time to switch the pd-extended core to git and have it based off of the pure-data.git. This makes it much much less work for me to both keep in sync with Miller and to submit patches to Miller. As for reasons, I can try to give you a couple: - Pd window that handles different log post levels (fatal, error, normal, debug, etc.) and dynamically changes views between those levels - drastically faster posting to the Pd window (1000s of message per second without preventing patching). - easy customization using GUI plugins - full UTF-8 support - localization and already many translations More info here: http://puredata.info/dev/NextRelease .hc ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have always wished for my computer to be as easy to use as my telephone; my wish has come true because I can no longer figure out how to use my telephone." --Bjarne Stroustrup (creator of C++) _______________________________________________ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
