Oh, I remember another idea I had proposed earlier, but not on github.
We could have an object that tells us the number of channels in a connection, ideally, if this object is being fed by an [inlet~] object it could tell us whether no signal is connected to the [inlet~] by outputting '0' as the number of channels.
My use cases involve abstractions so it could all be implemented as well as a built in functionality in [inlet~].
I already have an external in ELSE and I use it to manage an output abstraction. When I see it has a multichannel stereo connection input I do split it with [snake~ out]. I could then do the same for Vanilla's new [output~] abstraction.
cheers

Ok, merging season is on and people have been suggesting PRs and there's lot of actions on the github repository. Here's my curated list to you Miller.
First, something that I hope we cannot wait any longer as I first reported this bug like, I dunno, in version 0.46 :) a fix has been sitting for quite a while. This PR allocates the correct buffer size for delays based on the actual block size and is really important for some patches ==> *delwrite~: allocate extra space based on actual block size* https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/708
This is a nice fix that affects me with my tutorial and allows more colummns to be displayed, should be worry free I guess ==> *allow helpbrowser to display any amount of columns* https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/1240
*And now some PRs and features by myself...*
Some features for [pdcontrol] (and I just pinged you about it on github for it) https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/828/
*allow flags to come first in [text sequence] * https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/1581 <== I actually consider this a bug (not as a feature as marked), it is not the way things usually work and it is in conflict with the way things are documented
Some cool, useful and simple features:
- load seeds based on system time for pseudo random number generators
https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/1719
- Add font size argument for [drawtext]
https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/1622
[oscparse] improvements https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/1623
Add channel inlet/outlet & argument for [makenote]
https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/1670
Here's an old one that is more problematic: add an inlet to [receive] https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/604 it needs another PR which is "make pd_unbind safe" https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/1760
*This one need to solve conflicts, I'll try to find time and do it right away, but tell me if I shouldn't bother maybe* add '-h' flag for hexadecimal color in Data Structures. https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/1621
No pull requests but issues and requests I'd hope we could deal with but I know it might be too late in the game
use same properties for horizontal/vertical versions of slider and radio https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/issues/1757 (hopefully IOhannes could do this one)
allow data through signal connections ==> https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/issues/1887
This is a quite old issue that I'd just hope we could have some attention https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/issues/234
Cheers
