Howdy all,

For those of you with network-heavy patches and interesting in building/testing Pd, we could use your help.

Earlier in the year, Christof Ressi and I collaborated on overhauling Pd's networking infrastructure and objects. We have things more-or-less finished and it would be helpful to get some more diverse testing as this would be a non-breaking, but major change nonetheless.

Short list is: IPv6 support, connectionless UDP, optional netreceive from address/port outlet, multicast support, netsend timeout, and various small bug fixes and error message improvements

To try this out, build Pd from the "feature/netobject-updates" branch on the Github repository

For macOS 10.9+ users, I have a Pd 0.50 test build which also incorporates the backspace key handling fix in:

If you have a Github account, please post any issues to the PR.
