As usual, apologies for x-posting...<br>
<br>
It is my pleasure to announce the latest release of pd-l2ork free
open-source visual programming language for interactive media, and
supporting K12 educational module for the 32-bit and 64-bit Linux,
as well as Raspberry Pi (Arm) platforms. pd-l2ork is the
infrastructural backbone of Virginia Tech DISIS Linux Laptop
Orchestra (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"

Highlights include:<br>
<br>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
charset=ISO-8859-1">
*Ported all vanilla GUI objects and events to cairo-based SVG-like
tkpath canvas providing antialiased drawing capabilities, bezier
patch cords, and setting stage for a zoomable canvas <br>
*Implemented a new scrollbar system using semi-transparent objects
right on the canvas <br>
*Implemented filtering of autorepeat keyboard events for key, keyup,
keyname objects <br>
*Expanded K12 library with numerous improvements and added a couple
demo files <br>
*Backported resizable objects and recent files <br>
*Implemented native drag-n-drop <br>
*Improved GUI appearance <br>
*Began porting 3rd party objects to new cairo-based canvas
(non-accelerated 3rd-party objects can be recognized by having a
blue selection box and their considerably slower redraw) <br>
*Cleaned-up extended pddp documentation and added comprehensive
cyclone documentation <br>
*Began filtering (disabling) building of redundant externals within
the cyclone and other 3rd-party libraries <br>
*Proper visual reordering without the potentially cpu-expensive
canvas_redraw for all accelerated objects (non-accelerated 3rd-party
objects can be recognized by having a blue selection box and their
considerably slower redraw) <br>
*Disabled drawing of redundant nlets for objects embedded inside a
GOP object (for Max users, equivalent to a bpatcher)<br>
*Embedded tkdnd and tkpath libs directly into source for a
monolithic build; made several improvements to the tkpath lib fork <br>
*Many other minor bugfixes and improvements (see Changelog for more
info)<br>
<br>
