So in a little burst of activity, there has been new work on the Pd-extended 0.43 release. A bunch of bugs have been fixed, a new Windows XP build server is up and running, a couple of bugs are still outstanding. Overall, things are looking good and ready to go! Unless you are affected by one of the bugs listed below, I think that this beta version is already much better than the last release. You can get it here:

If you are running Ubuntu or Linux Mint (lucid thru quantal), you can add this PPA to automatically find and install Pd-extended beta updates: https://launchpad.net/~eighthave/+archive/pd-extended/

Running this command in the Terminal is the easiest way to add this PPA to your machine: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:eighthave/pd-extended
