Hi everyone!

I've just put out a release candidate for plugdata v0.8.0. Give it a try, and let me know if you experience any issues.

If you haven't heard, plugdata is a relatively new pure-data flavour that aims to be compatible with pd-vanilla, while offering a new GUI, more built-in objects, the ability to run inside the DAW, and the ability to export Pd patches to C++ code or embedded platforms.

Here's some highlights:
- Updated to pd-0.54 with multichannel signals (thanks to pure-data developers), and ELSE-rc9 with many new objects and multi-channel support (thanks to porres)
- Many UI improvements, we've redesigned all dialogs and menus in the whole app, and also polished the whole user experience
- New activity overlay will highlight objects that are generating messages
- DAW parameters can now be float, int, exponential float or logarithmic float, and their order can be changed
- Integrated Heavy exporter can now generate pd externals, is more stable and now supports MIDI on Electro-Smith Daisy
- Many stability improvements
- Much more, this is one of the biggest releases yet!



  Cheers,
