To Pd dev -

I'm trying to get out s 'bugfix' release 0.50-3 containing networking updates and the new code-signing step fro the latest MacOS. But meanwhile I can't seem to get Pd to read preferences on a macintosh any more. This is the first time I've tested using the new preferences interface for Mac, commit cc64c629a (Nov 20 2019, so newer than Pd 0.50-2).

It looks like this line:

const char *s = CFStringGetCStringPtr((CFStringRef)v, kCFStringEncodingUTF8);

is always returning null.

(I'm also having trouble with "codesign", will describe that in a separate mail).

thanks Miller
