Let's keep this on the list since it might be of general interest.

Hi,
Thanks for getting back so quickly.  We'll put this one on the shelf for a bit : D  We do try to stay up to date here with the releases in case of any new goodies for the kids to play with!

I suppose I should have made this clearer.  Before, the Pd versions on my site were "Release Candidates" meaning just working out the final kinks before making a release on puredata.org.  Now, these are test versions, and I do not recommend them to anyone except those who want to experiment.

You can get stable versions here:

And speaking of new goodies, I have a question for you.  First, we are very appreciative of your time and effort concerning these bundles.  They are very convenient and user friendly.  There is one object, however, that hasn't seem to make it into the Mac release, and that is the plugin~ object.  I've attempted to recode the linux version myself, and to get some others interested in doing it with me, but no one is interested.  This is a shame as it's a very useful little object.  I do not know of another object that acts as a bridge (in PD) between PD and effects plugins.  Is it possible that this could be included in a future bundle?  

I've never used [plugin~] so I am unlikely to do the work.  But once someone adds it to the Pd-extended build system, it'll be automatically included in the builds.
