i'd like to announce a pre-release of Gem-0.93.2

this is the 2nd bugfix release in the 0.93 series.

like always we have fixed numerous bugs and features, and most likely introduced an equal number of wishlists and showstoppers.

noteable differences since 0.93.1:

availability: - - this is the first 0.93 release, that provides binaries for OSX. the downloadable archive contains fat binaries for both ppc and i386 which should run on any OSX since 10.4

functionality: - - fixed a crashe on 64bit architectures related to SIMD-detection code - - fixed other crashes on 64bit architecture of some pix-effects (Pete's Plugins) - - pix_texture now handles repeat/quality of external textures - - failing plugins no longer keep other (working) plugins from functioning - - improved filmGMERLIN framecount behaviour - - made recordQT work again

documentation: - - a number of typos and inconsistencies in the help patches

drawbacks:

w32: the current w32 build has been compiled as "0.92.3" rather than "0.92.2"; i'll hopefully be able to compile a corrected version tonight and upload it then

OSX: it seems that Pd-0.43 quits as soon as Gem is loaded. this only happens if you start Pd by double-clicking the application; it does not happen if you start Pd via the cmdline. older versions of Pd (0.42 and prior) are not effected. both Pd-vanilla and Pd-extended are effected. if you want to use Pd-0.43, the suggested workaround is to start Pd/Gem from the cmdline (ouch!) if any help is welcome

get happy!
