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
