This will mean that, in the future, features introduced to +one array type will become available on the other one too. Array elements are +"scalars" (i.e., data structures) and if they have drawing instructions, each +point of the array is drawn according to them; they can be clicked on, etc., +just like any other scalars. "Regular" arrays have points which are of a +special, built-in template, "float". + +<P> Drawing instructions now can use variable ranges for screen coordinates; +for instance, specifying an offset of "a(0:10)(100:200)(0.2)" specifies that +the member "a", which shoudl range from 0 to 10, should be graphed at locations +ranging from 100 to 200 (relative to the scalar's base location) and should +have a "grain" of 0.2, i.e., steps of 2 pixels each. + +<P> Drawing instructions can be turned on and off, either globally +(for all data of the given structure) or by a data field. + +<P> The "struct" object has an outlet to notify you when a datum is selected or +deselected. + +<P> Graph-on-parent subpatches and abstractions no longer scale the GUI objects +to fit the parent rectangle; instead you get a sub-rectangle in the subpatch, +of the same size as the parent object, to place GUI objects in. GUI objects +that don't fit inside aren't shown on the parent, and the parent objects no +longer stretches itself to show things that wouldn't otherwise fit. Older +patches work as before until you try to edit them - at which point you have +no choice but to use the new functionality. + +<P> The font size of a Graph-on-parent abstraction is that of the abstraction +itself, not the calling patch. + +<P> Message boxes now take "addcomma" and similar messages. + +<P> A "list" object is provided for joining and splitting lists, and converting +between lists and non-list messages. + +<P> Pd extension is now added automatically to files on Macintish when you +do a "save as". The tcl/tk version is updated to 8.4.5. This should run on +OSX version 10.2 and later. Also on Mac, drag-and-drop startups read +"libraries" (specified in "startup" dialog) before opening the file. + +<P> The "pointer" object has a method to rewind to the beginning of a list. +A "sendwindow" message forwards any message to the window contining the +scalar currently pointed to. + +<P> Abstractions don't produce visible windows, even if subwindows of the +abstraction were visible when the abstraction was saved. + +<P> MIDI sysex messages should now work on all platforms. + +<P> Bug fixes: + +<P> sending lists to arrays now correctly interprets the first number of the +list as the starting index (following values are then stored seuentially in the +array.) + +<P> The rfft~ object's imaginary part had the wrong sign. Also, the Nyquist +bin is now supplied correctly. + +<P> Fixed problems writing aiff files using the writesf~ and soundfiler objects. +Writesf, if sent an "open" while a file was previously being written, closes the +previous file first. + +<P> Bug fix in number2 which sometimes crashed Pd. + +<P> Stale-pointer protection made more robust. + +<P> Some of Pd's tcl/tk error messages have been tracked down, but probably +not all of them yet. + +<P> "Find" crashed Pd when the found object was in a GOP. + +<P> Mouse motion over arrays no longer is quite so CPU-consuming (but is +still somewhat so.) + +<P> samplerate~ now reflects up/downsampling. + +<P> Tilde objects in blocked, overlapped subpatches no longer adjust their +internal sample rate to reflect the overlap. + +<P> Fixed a thread-safety problem in sys_microsleep(). + + <P> ------------------ 0.38.1 -------------------------- Fixed two bugs that crashed Pd when deleting number boxes in certain |
