ANNOUNCMENT pd-0.23-4 and gem-0.77-1

Hi there !

I have uploaded to new versions of Pd and Gem to the IEM

ftp://iem.mhsg.ac.at/pd

Additionally these versions can be found on every Debian server and will release together with Debian 2.1, scheduled for late November but more likely to be released somewhere in December (At least in this regard Debian has similarities to other famous OS's :P).

See http://www.debian.org

I made an rpm package of pd and I would appreciate it , if someone would test it. (GLIBC version !!!)

What's new ?

• pd now comes with the bonk external and (again) fixed MIDI code, which

was broken in version 0.23-3.

• Gem includes all the nice additional features of 0.77, except I

couldn't find the time to test them.

What's missing ?

• pd comes without fiddle, because of (again :() .... licensing

problems. But I'm planning to make a seperate fiddle package. anyhow fiddle is easily compilable as external (See makefile.linux in the external directory)

• a Gem rpm package. I just can't do it on my Debian system.
