-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Notes:
-- no support for default object arguments (A_DEFFLOAT, A_DEFSYMBOL) -> use variable argument lists instead
-
-Platform specific:
-- PD does not allow signal and message to go into the same inlet (except leftmost inlet)
-
-Restrictions in compatibility mode:
-- Max allows only 9 float/int inlets
-
-Porting to new compilers/platforms:
-- enums must be int-sized!!!
-- compiler must support bool type
-- an STL implementation must exist
-- no need of C++ exceptions or RTTI (RTTI only for GUI objects)
-	BUT: some libraries could use RTTI and then need run-time type information from the library! (this is known for gcc compiles)
-
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-TODO list:
-
-- optimizations for object initialization and messaging
-- SIMD for gcc
-
-bugs:
-- can't use MFC libraries because of global new and delete overloadings
-
-TEST:
-- PD: problems with timed buffer redrawing (takes a lot of cpu time)
-- hard thread termination upon object destruction doesn't seem to work properly -> crash
-- Max rounding bug ... buffer resize could be one sample less!
-- flext_dsp: Max/MSP doesn't correctly report in/out channel counts
-
-
-general:
-- documentation
-- add log messages for debugging version
-- use PD's t_float and t_int types (or comparable for 32-bit safety)
-
-- add double handlers
-- add signal in/out connection query function
-
-- support for Max qelem style
-
-- PD: with DSP objects all float messages to left input are currently converted to signal
-		there should be a way to avoid this
-
-- flext::post and flext::error should print via a worker thread (and should be unlimited in characters)
-
-tests:
-- PD: figure out what "pointer" messages do and where they occur
-- buffer resize: flext_base::buffer::Frames(): should we use buffer or system sample rate?
-
-- check whether m_dsp gets called upon deletion of a used buffer (PD and MaxMSP may behave differently).

+
+VARIOUS NOTES:
+
+Platform specific:
+- PD does not allow signal and message to go into the same inlet (except leftmost inlet)
+- PD: with DSP objects all float messages to the leftmost inlet are converted to signal
+
+Restrictions in compatibility mode:
+- Max allows only 9 float/int inlets
+
+Porting to new compilers/platforms:
+- enums must be int-sized!!!
+- compiler must support bool type
+- an STL implementation must exist
+- C++ exceptions and RTTI must be enabled
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+KNOWN BUGS:
+- can't use MFC libraries because of global new and delete overloadings
+- MaxMSP Mach-O DSP externals cannot be the first externals loaded (e.g. in Max Runtime)
+    there must be a CFM signal external loaded beforehand!!! (Max will crash otherwise)
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+TODO LIST:
+
+- optimizations for object initialization and messaging
+- SIMD for gcc
+
+- update documentation
+- add log messages for debugging version
+- use PD's t_float and t_int types (or comparable for 32-bit safety)
+
+- add double handlers
+- add signal in/out connection query function
+
+- support for Max qelem style

+- flext::post and flext::error should print via a worker thread (and should be unlimited in characters)

+
+TESTS TO DO:
+
+- PD: problems with timed buffer redrawing (takes a lot of cpu time)
+- hard thread termination upon object destruction doesn't seem to work properly -> crash
+- Max rounding bug ... buffer resize could be one sample less!
+- flext_dsp: Max/MSP doesn't correctly report in/out channel counts
+
+- PD: figure out what "pointer" messages do and whether they are correctly implemented in flext
+
+- Max buffer~ resize: flext_base::buffer::Frames(): must we use buffer or system sample rate?
+
+- check whether m_dsp gets called upon deletion of a used buffer (PD and MaxMSP may behave differently).
+    -> PD does call m_dsp

 Prerequisites:
 
-o --- PD ---
-  You need the pd source code which is most likely part of the distribution.
-  Otherwise download from: http://www-crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/software.html
-
-o --- Max/MSP ---
-  You will need the latest Max/MSP SDK 
-  for Windows (http://synthesisters.com/pluggo3/downloadMaxWinSDK.php)
-  for OSX (http://www.synthesisters.com/sdk/max.php)
-  or for OS9 (ask Cycling'74 where to find that)
-
-  For OS9 threading support you'll also need the Multiprocessing library 
-  (download at http://developer.apple.com/sdk/)
-
-o --- SndObj ---
-  If you choose to compile with SndObj support you will need the respective library
-  download from: http://www.may.ie/academic/music/musictec/SndObj/main.html
-
-o --- STK ---
-  If you choose to compile with STK support you will need the respective package 
-  and build a library.
-  download from: http://ccrma-www.stanford.edu/software/stk/
-  For linking it may preferable to use a library of all the STK objects.
-  Under linux you can create one from the STK directory with something like
-  "g++ -c -pipe -I include -D __LINUX_OSS__ src/*.cpp && ar r libstk.a *.o && rm -f *.o"
