Its time to announce the next big Pd-extended release, 0.43.4!
Congrats! Despite expressing many times how limited your time is (and probably even more so with a family), the new release really is a milestone. Great achievement! Impressive list of improvements, bug fixes, new features. Many thanks to you and everyone involved.
Personally, I welcome many of your decisions like not loading libraries per default, requiring a maintainer for each lib, removing unmaintained libs. In my experience it was never so easy to write portable patches between pd + libs and pd-extended. It's a huge goal to provide a consistent experience across platforms, but from what I saw in recent times this goal is largely satisfied. It is really comfortable to tell people: "You just need to install Pd-extended for running this patch" and they don't have to bother with any special settings or configurations.
Keep up the good work! Roman
Thanks for the feedback! That's great to hear, cross-install compatibility and ease of setup are really two main goals of all this. I want to see sharing patches to be as easy as possible.
