-<P> In the list below, starred items are still things needing attention.
-This list is no longer maintained; see the sourceforge bug tracker on
-https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=55736
-
-<P> *1. Timing of MIDI input/output is very shaky. Audio I/O is primitive, but
-there's at least a way to detect errors now for linux and NT.
-
-<P> *2. There is no flow control for graphical updates yet; the
-real-time process can easily block trying to write too fast to the GUI.
-
-<P> 3. PD dies if your patch has an infinite loop [fixed in 0.30 release.]
-
-<P> *4. If you cut a box which is a "Pd" or abstraction whose subpatch has
-items selected, Pd dies.
-
-<P> *5. Tables and other drawable items can draw far outside the window; there's
-no sanity check, Huge tables (>1000 points) are only partially drawn
-(the first 1000 points.)
-
-<P> 6. There's no way to order force a delread~ to make it read after
-a delwrite~ has written. [but see under 3.audio.examples how to do this now.]
-
-<P> 7. Pd doesn't know to suspend graphics updates when you minimize objects.
-Presumably minimization makes things better but it doesn't cut off graphics
-computation entirely as it should. [fixed for 0.34]
-
-<P> 8. If you load a nonexistent extern you get a spurious message,
-"consistency check failed: canvas_setargs". [fixed for 0.27 release.]
-
-<P> 9. Typing backslashes into objects upsets Tk [0.29 should suppress all
-backslashes; a real fix might come later.]
-
-<P> 10. Never type a dollar sign into a comment; you may have trouble
-opening your patch afterward... [fixed somewhere around 0.32]
-
-<P> *11. You'd better Turn DSP off before you type into a box that currently
-holds a "pd" object with tilde objects in the subpatch.
-
-<P> *12. In Linux, if you hit control C while Pd is opening MIDI, Pd hangs.
-
-<P> *13. In linux, Pd doesn't report audio data-late errors yet.
-
-<P> *14. Several objects, notably dac~, adc~, and env~, are incompatible with
-uses of block~ or switch~ objects that change block size from the default of
-64. Using switch~ without reblocking causes no problem. Don't try to
-read/write delay lines or use send~/receive~, or throw~/catch~, between
-windows with different block sizes.
