Hi, after a test phase with Windows errors, it seems we solved the windows
compilation issues and here's the update I'm wrapping up for the PdMAXCon
in a few days! I just have to ship this, but I had a new [streamin~] and
[streamout~] objects for streaming and I'm leaving it out for now cause the
build for windows is still failing. Hold on for that. Note that older ELSE
versions are not working on Pd 0.56. This one requires 0.56-1!

My last update aimed at a PlugData update but that didn't happen yet,
though there's a PlugData 0.9-2 test release, based on 0.55-2. This new
ELSE update will hopefully come soon right after at PlugData 0.9.3, or
maybe even a newer update. I was hoping to better coordinate releases but
it's not happening :)

There's a lot of new stuff, but I'm mainly focusing on my MERDA modules,
which I'll show at PdMAXCon. They're coming out fancy with lots of stuff
and details I can't get into. There's lots of eye candy, like Implementing
a new mechanism for minimizing and maximizing the GUI or opening in a new
window. Added "tab" navigation for most knobs in the modules. This is just
the tip of the iceberg as there's lots of work to support this, so I made
several changes and updates to [knob] and [button]. The [knob] object also
gained several features and it became a feature-creep monster. Now I'm also
including mouse wheel scrolling, for one thing.

There's a new "Super Saw/Square" oscillator (a sum of 7 oscillators based
on JP-8000) abstraction object that also became a MERDA module. I wanna
highlight a new [mix~] object made for it that makes convenient mixing and
panning MC connections. There's also a cool [arpeggiator] abstraction, in
the next release I hope I'll have a new MERDA module with that included.

This is the main deal! There are 15 new objects, I'd like to also mention
mid/side encoding and stereo widening, and another one for envelope
following. Total number of objects now is 587! The tutorial now has 561
examples and an expanded subchapter about stereo imaging and improvements
to envelope following.

It's up in deken, let me know if something is wrong...

There are of course many many other numerous changes and fixes. Detailed
changelog in https://github.com/porres/pd-else/releases/tag/v.1.0-rc14

As of now, I started being more careful with breaking changes. I'm still
allowing old patches to run, but telling people to adapt to new stuff. For
instance, I had a [del~ in] and [del~ out] object now split into 2
([del.in~]/[del.out~])
thanks to a new functionality in Pd 0.56-0, but you can still call the old
[del~] object (for now). Like I've been saying, I'm just waiting for
PlugData 1.0 to call this a final release as well.

cheers
Alex
