Hi all, i've just uploaded a new release of flext, a c++ layer for cross-platform development of PD and MaxMSP externals. Although a lot of things have changed, the API is backwards-compatible (that's what i hope at least).
News: - Max/Jitter-like attribute functionality - All creation argument handling is now done by flext, hence there is no more weird PD re-ordering of arguments (floats, symbols) - added ToQueue* functions - like ToOut* but messages are not directly sent (well suited for deadlock situations) - added complete OSX/darwin support (originally done by Adam T. Lindsay) - SndObj interface now also available for cygwin and BCC - lower sensibility for const modifers - some more functions for atom lists - fixed some more and less severe bugs - lots of other things (listed in readme.txt)
There is also a new version of the tutorial with some things fixed and new examples for attributes and libraries.
Additionally i have put up a doxygen-generated function reference, downloadable or for online-browsing.
Download as usual from http://www.parasitaere-kapazitaeten.net/Pd/ext
best greetings, Thomas
