Why do we need _any_ name change? Any obvious version jump would do it already, 0.6, no?
A 64-bit Pd would not be compatible with any previous version because all the memory structures would be differently sized, so any externals built for previous versions would crash. While any patches using vanilla objects would still work, unless a 64-bit version had some way of running 32-bit externals in parallel, it would be effectively a different program, not just a new version.
