Re: [PD] Update cyclone maintenance

Hi Alexandre, pd-list,

These are the objects: Append, Borax, Bucket, Clip, Decode, Histo, MouseState, Peak, Table, TogEdge, Through, Uzi, Clip~, Line~, Scope~, Snapshot~.

It appears Hans already implemented lowercase object names for all but Table, and a lowercase version with "cyclone/" prefixed for most (append and Table being the exception).

Hey, yeah, didn't think of adding aliases , that solves the issue and maintains backwards compatibility with old patches. I hope it gets done.

cheers
