yeah, and in fact, there are a couple new things that got missed in the notes, that I could add

[soundfiler] has an extra outlet for sample rate

help file of [float], [value] and [send] were also updated, and [float] now understands symbol messages that look like floats

plus, Pd now has support for different languages, if a translation file has been created... I took care of translating for pt-br, even the strings that were added at the last moment. Some other languages got updates, but not for all the new strings as I believe (so maybe now it's a good time to update them) - as I can remember: french, german and spanish had updates.

cheers

Thanks a ton for putting together these release notes! I was wondering what all was new!
 This releases notes are from the pd html documentation, made by miller.

To access to all release notes, you can just start pd, click on the help menu, "html help" and go to current status / release note...

cheers

    Thanks a lot for all the great efforts on this major update by everyone involved.

    I'm really happy and excited wit the new features.

    Anyway, thought I'd share the final release notes as well, if anyone missed the major changes:

    ---------------------

    Release notes:

    ------------------ 0.48-0 ------------------------------

    It's possible to save and recall "settings" to files, and/or to erase system settings. On Pcs, the settings are now stored in the "user" resource area (before, it was per-machine, and users who weren't administrators apparently couldn't save their settings.)

    On the first startup, Pd queries the user as to whether to create a directory such as ~/Doculemnts/Pd and set path to point there. Many updates were also made to the "path" dialog and deken to better integrate downloading stuff and path maintanance.

    The expr family (expr, expr~, fexpr~) got an update from Shahrokh Yadegari, and the help file was reorganized and updated by Alexandre Porres. Many more math functions are supported, and the parser was updated so that expressions using "if" skip evaluating the argument that isn't used.

    New "fudiparse", "fudiformat" objects.

    New "list store" object for faster and easier concatenation and splitting apart of lists.

    New notification outlet in "text define" so the patch can know when the text is changed.

    New "text insert" object.

    "delwrite~" now has a "clear" message.

    "declare -path" inside abstractions was changed so that, if the declaration isn't an absolute filename, it's relative to the abstraction's directory, not to the owning patch's directory. This might be considered an incompatible change; but since the situation with paths declared inside abstractions has always been so confused, I think nobody will have got away without editing patches that relied on it as things changed in the past.

    But the biggest changes are under the hood. Pd now can manage more than one running instance, so that it is possible to make plug-ins of various sorts out of Pd and they can coexist with each other. This will allow people to write much better VST plug-ins in Pd. I'm grateful to Carlos Eduardo Batista for much help on this.

    The Pd API allows starting and/or shutting down the GUI dynamically while Pd is running.

    Another internal change: the pd~ object now communicates with sub-processes in binary by default. This increases the numerical accuracy of signal passing (it should be exact now) and makes the passing back and forth of audio signals much more efficient.

     Thanks to much effort by Dan Wilcox and Iohannes Zmoelnig, the compile-and-build system is much improved, especially for Macintosh computers. One visible effect is that language support is finally working in the compiled versions on msp.ucsd.edu <http://msp.ucsd.edu>.
