Thanks for the update.

Has been fixed for awhile in Purr Data. Settings are per machine on first install, and per user the first time the user changes them.

If this change makes it so that Pd no longer relies on the Windows registry it'd probably be a good idea to port it. But it's not dire

Not applicable.

Need to port this.

Probably want these, too.

Probably want to merge the code somehow with [list cat].

Need to port this.

Need to port this.

Already have it.

This might be considered an incompatible change; but since the situation with paths declared inside abstractions has always been so confused, I think nobody will have got away without editing patches that relied on it as things changed in the past. 

Need to port this.


> > But the biggest changes are under the hood. Pd now can manage more than one running instance, so that it is possible to make plug-ins of various sorts out of Pd and they can coexist with each other. This will allow people to write much better VST plug-ins in Pd. I'm grateful to Carlos Eduardo Batista for much help on this.

Probably want to wait for a few bugfix versions for the kinks to get worked out.

Anyone want to investigate this one? I've never had a need but maybe others do.

> > Another internal change: the pd~ object now communicates with sub-processes in binary by default. This increases the numerical accuracy of signal passing (it should be exact now) and makes the passing back and forth of audio signals much more efficient.

Probably want to go ahead and port this.
