I think this is the final release, last chance to test your patches and make
sure everything is working well in this release. Also, double-check the
translations. I'll do one final import of translations from Transifex before
finalizing it. Download here:

Its been a long time coming, but its finally reached completion! This release
includes the most new features of any release before, here are some highlights:

* complete help search: search all installed docs (Help->Search)
* loaders: you can now write native Pd objects in Lua (pdlua) and Tcl (tclpd)
* new libraries: log, iemguts, mediasettings, pduino, syslog
* GUI plugins: customize your editing experience
* full Unicode support, write patches in any language
* fully translatable GUI, with many languages already included
* Magic Glass to see what's going through connections as it happens

And much more: http://puredata.info/dev/NextRelease
