Howdy all,

there is a changelog fr sorts included with the HTML docs. For Pd 0.46, it says:

"Bug fixes to IEM GUIs: sliders and radio buttons pass floating-point numbers 
through without limiting them to the GUI's range or resolution. Also, the 
toggle no longer resets its "value" (the nonzero number it outputs) when 
receiving numbers in messages. Set compatibility to 0.45 or earlier to get the 
old behavior (using "pd compatibility" message or a startup flag)."

This change brought the behavior of those GUIS to be in line with atoms and can 
be disabled, although it probably also disables other need things you might 
want.

I can't find the commit for this, but I think it came from Miller, so maybe he 
can weight in. In any case, someone could always examine and port the Pd-L2ork 
approach to further discussion...
