It's misleading to write it in the same paragraph as « the pd-gui side > of Pd has been re-written from scratch ».

You are correct, the two process architecture has been there since the beginning, I guess my write-up was a bit unclear there. I only claim that the code for the 'pd-gui' process was rewritten, which is was. Every aspect of Pd's GUI was not rewritten. As I mentioned in that email, that is a target for some of us for 0.44. > It's a bad idea to take credit for things that Miller had already done or > that his contributors had done. > > If you want to say, for example, that pd-extended 43 fixes a certain cause of > hiccups due to bad sync between the two parts of pd, then you can say it like > that, more or less, but a goal to keeping explanations simple doesn't entitle > you to say what you have said. Where did I take credit for that? Sorry if there was confusion there. Pd and Pd-extended are the work of many people, I am just one of them. The pd-gui rewrite was also the work of at least 5 people. .hc ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "[T]he greatest purveyor of violence in the world today [is] my own government." - Martin Luther King, Jr. _______________________________________________ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
