Hi all,
Pd 0.42-2 is available on the usual,
http://www-crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/software.html
or sources via svn:
svn checkout https://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pure-data/trunk/pd/
This fixes a very nasty bug in Windos -- you shouldn't even try the earlier 0.42 releases on Windows. Also, some bother in the Mac version was cleaned up.
I borrowed an idea from the mailing list and fixed control-a to toggle between selecting all and none - a clickless way to defeat auto-connection.
cheers Miller
