Hey all

I'm using current git master and found that the way color information of iemguis is stored in the patch file has changed. The number representing 6-bit-per-channel rgb values got replaced by a hexadecimal encoding like '#dfdfdf'. That is a huge advantage, but how far back are such patches compatible? What is the oldest version of Pd that loads patches using hex color codes correctly?

iirc, it's Pd-0.48.

Ah, cool. Pd versions from current distro releases are covered, then.

if you target older Pd's use [; pd compatibility 0.47(

Thanks for the hint. For me, recent features are often too attractive to care about such old versions ;-)
