I am cc'ing the list since this is of general interest.
People at ZHdK helped me find this bug while I was there in Zürich,
it should be fixed in the most recent nightly builds.

Hi, sorry if I breach any emailing policies by answering to you
directly...I tried the latest version, and as far as I can tell everything I
use run smoothly, except one. My Arduino-boards (Diecimila)
suddenly stopped sending input to pd (I use your patch and the
standard Firmata). The boards connect, but I get the messages[comport] opened serial line device 15 (COM15)
moocow/string2any 32 -1 ... couldn't create [arduino]: version_0.4 UNKNOWN_INPUT_COMMAND: 6 0
Since moocow/string2any doesn't seem to appear in any of the used
patches, I don't know if that's the problem. Hope I was clear
enough in the not-quite-a-bug-report report. I use WinXP.Greetings from KTH Stockholm, Kjetil

For this release, there has been a lot of work in making the GUI
and user experience much more fluid and easy. There is a new
visual look that was designed to make patches more readable.
Additionally, lots of things have been tweaked to make Pd behave
more like a normal app. There has already been a lot of testing
on these builds, so it is getting quite close to a final version.
(Debian/PowerPC is missing now but will come later)http://at.or.at/hans/pd/installers.html
Here is a partial changelog:
- next visual appearance designed for readability (it can run
slower on machines < 1 GHz)
- default locations for user-installed externals, helpfiles, etc. GNU/Linux: /usr/share/pd and ~/pd Mac OS X: /Library/Pd and ~/Library/Pd Windows: %ProgramFiles%/Common Files/Pd and %UserProfile%/
Application Data/Pd
lots of standard key bindings added: Enter/Return for OK Escape for Cancel Ctrl/Cmd-W closes all windows on Mac OS X, Cmd-` cycles thru open windows on Mac OS X, Cmd-m minimizes windows Ctrl/Cmd-R raises/lowers Pd window Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-R shrinks/grows Pd window Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-L clears Pd window's text console Ctrl/Cmd-B opens the Help Browser
you can now use "~" in all paths to mean home folder, and on
Windows you can use environment variables, lie %UserProfile% in paths
cut/copy/paste now work directly into text boxes on all platforms
[declare] and [import] now sorted out for loading, much work
needs to be done before there namespace support is complete
"File -> Save As" defaults to the Home folder (~/)
fixed Cut/Copy/Paste for the Pd window's console
included pgp_opengl aka 3dp on GNU/Linux and Mac OS X
KNOWN BUGS
check http://puredata.info/dev/bugtracker before reporting bugs
Escape, Enter, and Ctrl/Cmd-W don't close the Path and Startup
preferences
pdp_opengl is alpha and will definitely crash Pd
loading pdp_opengl will crash Pd if X11 is not open before
trying to load it
