Whoops, I just noticed there are now conflicts in the colors branch (probably after the recent merges). I'll try to get to those today or tomorrow anyways.

I have a couple of bugfix prs that would be nice to get merged -
clipping GOP objects correctly when their distance is changed using the "font" dialog
https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/1247
re-do tcl/tk key repeat bugfix for tk 8.6.11
https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/1306

I understand if the feature request prs won't make it in but the color hooks has been sitting around for a few years now & I think it's ready to go, aside from some whitespace issues possibly
https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/196
there's another small feature pr
https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/1324

thanks,

(re-send - I had sent to pd-dev@iem.at but that now seems to be defunct...)

To Pd dev -
I'm going to try to get the next Pd release (0.52) out over the next month
or two.  My personal priorities for this release would be putting in a message
backtrace mechanism (by overriding canvas_connect and pd_bind to go through
small proxy objects; this will have to be done at load time I think) and
to go back and try to figure out how to do tooltips without adding cruft to
the inlet structure.  (There's an ancient source-patch to provide tooltips
by Chris McCormichadn Guenter Geiger that I plan to start with -

Before doing that I want to do some reorganizing - in porting Pd to FreeRTOS
(so I can run it on an Espressif LyraT board, which I think takes only about
10 or 20% of the current that a Pi needs) I found out that I had to move
a few functions from one file to another.

This might break some PRs, so... first of all would be to identify whatever
PRs are ready to merge so I can do that before I make incompatible changes.
Of course "stable development branch" first... then Dan's soundfile updates...
then what?

PS more ideas of mine (among many):
hot-reloading externs via a message to Pd
use a "unix binding" socket between Pd and pd-gui instead of localhost
generalize number/symbol box to allow displaying entire messages or lists

cheers
