I read it as something that used to work but not longer does with
newer version. That would either be deprecated or abandoned.That was my thinking, sorry for the approximate usage of "deprecated".
just to make that clear: i did not try to be pedantic. but my command of the english language is surely worse than hans's, and i always want to take the opportunity to learn something. your definition of "deprecated" was contradictory for me (though it might not have been for others)
I think something like this in the status box would be useful:
Status: deprecated (0.37.2)
or
Status: abandoned (0.33)
i would be a bit more specific and use "pd-0.33" instead of just "0.33". it might as well be "pd-extended-0.34" (if the pd-extended version differs with pd-vanilla regarding the interoperability of the said thing) or "linux-2.2.18". there are manifold reasons why an external could be abandoned/deprecated or simply dysfuntional.
and (if i haven't said that before), i would suggest using a more positive wording like "works with: (pd<0.35)"
If there is more info, then a section could easily be added in the text.
definitely.
