[L2Ork-dev] pd-l2ork updates

[Ivica Ico Bukvic]

Greetings fellow l2orkists,

Just a friendly reminder that pd-l2ork (despite the lack of announcements) has continued to evolve and has made several dozen releases since our last public announcement. For more info on all releases please visit http://l2ork.music.vt.edu/main/ or go directly to our download page at http://l2ork.music.vt.edu/main/?page_id=56.

Fixes include a number of usability and stability improvements, as well as inclusion of various object improvements, including:

*trigger object allowing for static values
*cyclone/rand~ object able to run immediately with its assigned value
*messages now allow for $@ argument which includes the entire array of arguments (based on JMZ's proposed patch)
*delwrite~ has a default 1s buffer (if none is specified) to avoid creation with invalid buffer size (and thus unexpected results)

Other improvements include:
*fixed segfaults during reconnection with jackd
*improved clipboard that allows for seamless copying/pasting between canvas and various entries
*improved modular console
*all non-dialog windows now project key input to open patches
*fixed <windowname> menuclose 1 when invoked within a patch
*further improvements to the cord inspector
*vastly improved scrolling algorithm
*fixed dynamic changes to inlet order and their proper redrawing (when moving nlets)
*improved duplicate/select/deselect/copy/paste logic
*revamped cyclone/coll editor
*bug-fixes to "to front/back" actions which now does not rely upon undo/redo workaround any more

And many more...

For a detailed breakdown of new features, please check the Changelog (found on the software page above).

Pd-l2ork should be fully backwards compatible with pd.

Cheers!
