iirc, [serialize] was rather something like [repack 1] from zexy (to be
precise, [repack 1] is a clone of [serialize], but [repack] offers
extended functionality);
thanks, I'll look into it.
why not make your own [gate]? for an abstraction you need 2 [inlet]s, 1
[outlet] and 1 [spigot]. [spigot] in pd-0.39 takes a creation argument to set the initial state
of the object (if this is, why you use [gate]); if you _must_ use
pd<0.39 you can always use a [loadbang] to initialize the [spigot].
The problem is that the patch was made last summer, and there isn't much
time now, so I thought it would be a bit risky to complicate it even more.
I'll try it.
[makesymbol] and [packel] are fine in zexy>=2.0. [packel] can now be done with plain pd-objects (see frank's collection
of list-objects)[matrix] and [matrix~] are now in iemmatrix, which i recommend instead
of sticking to old versions of zexy. [matrix~] in iemmatrix (which btw
is now called [mtx_*~] and has slightly different behaviour; but you can
still use the name [matrix~] and get the old behaviour) should be faster
than the original version.
ok. I didn't evolved to zexy 2, but wanted to. As said before, it is a
time problem, and also that I am sending the patch to someone who can't
work with it, so it has to really work with no problems. And now is a bit
risky to start changing things around.
