Finally there is a first true Pd-double nightly build available for testing, almost one month after the first announcement. It is an OSX i386 build. Other builds will hopefully follow soon.

Beware! This pre-pre-alpha Pd-double-extended is probably the buggiest Pd you've ever seen. The largest part of it still has to be tested and precision-fixed. Precision-issues can in some cases produce ridiculous output values, in the range of billions or trillions. Use an analog volume control when testing Pd-double-extended, and set it _low_ to start with.
parts which are so far precision-fixed and tested on OSX and Linux:
most of pd-double core externals/extra (except [pd~]) externals/creb externals/smlib externals/vbap
precision-fix priorities:
- making pd-double core work for Windows - find and fix pointer typecast cases resulting in dangerously high output values - fix cw_binaural to compile and work in double precision so it can be included in the LIB_TARGETS again
long term:
- make unit tests for all classes in all libs - fix all precision issues - develop a method to prevent cross-precision lib-loads
