Ok, its finally time to start the release process of Pd-extended 0.42.5 with the release of 0.42.5-rc1, available now! Of course we missed somethings in rc1, so now we have 0.42.5-rc2! Fixed since 0.42.5-rc1:

* 64-bit builds on Ubuntu
* 64-bit build on Mac OS X 10.6/Snow Leopard, minus Gem, hid, and pidip (Carbon)
* fixed [plugin~] crashes, now also builds on Mac OS X and Windows
* Pd-extended shows in the GNOME menus again

There are of course many bug fixes and additions, here are some highlights:

* fixing Graph-On-Parent GUI bugs
* complete 64-bit support for GNU/Linux
* full support for Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard (32-bit)
* a brand new Help Browser that shows all installed libraries

Nice job Hans and all the others. However, when I choose my motu asio driver (under winxp sp2) there's no sound anymore, so I have to use standard (MMIO) but then latency is really unacceptable. Is this a known issue, because in 0.41.3 extended this was working just fine.

I don't know much about ASIO or really even Windows, so I wouldn't know how to troubleshoot it. Have you had any luck with it? I'll check if there are any updates for portaudio.

A couple more little fixes, so 0.42.5-rc4:

* more GOP bugs fixed (please test and report GOP issues!)
* [shell] works on Mac OS X without a Crash Dump popping up

EDIT 7/17: My original suspicion that the error was due to a bumbling fool at the console was correct. It's working better and better as I get everything configured properly. A/D/A had nothing to do with 64-bit compatibility, rather USER's ability.

Interestingly I just (read: yesterday) got everything setup with Ubuntu Studio 10.04 AMD64 and encountered streams of A/D/A sync errors in PD. Haven't had a chance to do anything substantial yet, I was only testing the sound card...and then grumbling and muttering to myself as I skimmed contradictory articles on building real-time kernels, ALSA, and OSS.

I'll report back on whether this was caused solely by the fact that the distro was from April and, unbeknown to me, PD wasn't quite 64-bit ready - I'm crossing my fingers that this A/D/A sync issue is a compatibility hangover. Thank you so much for the all the hard work!

I have problems with typography sizes in sliders, buttons, bangs, radio buttons, etc. They looks bigger than a object box with the same size.
