<P>This section tracks changes in Pd's current implementation.</P>
<H3> <A name="s2"> 5.1. release notes </A> </H3>
+<P> ------------------ 0.40 -----------------------------
+
+<P> A new object, "declare", allows patches to control where Pd looks
+for resources such as abstractions and libraries.
+
+<P> Sybmols can now be built using multiple dollar sign variables, as in
+"$1-$2.$3".
+
+<P> The switch~ object takes a "bang" message to compute one block of DSP on
+demand. Also, block sizes are no longer required to be powers of two
+(although reblocking only works between powers of two.)
+
+<P> Externs may have characters in their names that aren't part of valid
+C variable names (i.e., outsize the range a-z,A-Z,0-9, _).
+
+<P> Openpanel and savepanel take an argument to set the initial directory to
+search.
+
+<P> Support for large (>2G) soundfiles, in operating systems that offer it.
+
+<P> Text copy/paste fixed (I hope) for Macintosh
+
+<P> Intel Mac binaries. New naming scheme for externs to allow disambiguation
+(although Pd falls back to the old names for compatibility.)
+
+<P> Templates can get notified when data are selected/deselected. I want
+to provide this for mouse actions on locked canvases too, but haven't yet.
+
+<P> 6 or so patches adopted from sourceforge.
