Thanks a lot for your answer! I was basically worried that if I miss 0.49 I'd have to wait like a year or so... the shorter release cycle is great news!

Looking back I've only been able to get out a bit fewer than one major release per year... I hope to speed this up now that there are much better scripts and tools in place (thanks mostly to other people!)
My own situation is that I go into heavy teaching mode again Sept. 24 so I'll either succeed and get out 0.49 before then or fail and only get it out late December. If I do get 0.49 working quickly I'll then aim for 0.50 in February or March.
For 0.49 I want to fix the escaping of '' characters (I had earlier tried to make it possible simply never to make a `` character visible to the user but this has turned out to be impossible). Also I want to fix pasting to place objects under the mouse (or at the very least, somewhere visible, not off the edge of the window)
For the medium term I'm thinking about revisiting array drawing to make it more efficient and controllable, and expanding the capabilities of the 'atom' box (lists; texts).
Also I have a vague plan to make an API feature to guide DSP graph sorting order, e.g., to request that one item in a patch be sorted in advance of another without them being connected by a patch cord.
Anyway, I think whatever happens to 0.49 I can deal with feature PRs anytime this fall and get them into a release by late winter.
cheers Miller

Hi Miller,
I just wanted to ask what's your approximate roadmap for Pd 0.49? Do I need to hurry up if I want to propose stuff or is there plenty of time left? :-)
