+<P> ------------------ 0.41 ----------------------------
+
+<P> Pd may be compiled in 64 bit address spaces; this is well tested on
+linux and at least seems to work on Microsoft and MacOS.  On linux, in fact,
+if you compile Pd in a 64-bit version of the OS it's automatically in the
+64 bit address space.
+
+<P> In linux, a "-nosleep" flag causes Pd to poll instead of sleeping as it
+waits for dac and adc; this is useful on multiprocessors when you don't mind
+having Pd occupy 100% of one processor and want to get latency as low as
+possible.  (If you don't use this, latency on multiprocessors - Intel Core 2 at
+least - is much worse for some reason than it is on uniprocessors.)  It's
+"experimental" but I use it every day.
+
+<P> added an experimental callback scheduler.  This might reduce latency in
+MacOS and/or Microsoft, although I haven't seen that actually happen yet.
+
+<P> removed limitation on huge messages from text files; this prevented long
+"data" arrays from reloading from disk correctly.
+
+<P> fixed crash bug closing patches with open GOPs.
+
+<P> changed selection strategy so that, right after duplicating a collection 
+of objects, clicking tends to select an already-selected object.
+
+<P> the cursor changes slightly more apprpriately when switching between edit
+to run modes.
+
+<P> got really confused about the proper role of "declare 'path" in abstractions;
+for the moment they are ignored.  I the future, it may be worthwhile to allow
+them but to have them act only locally to the abstraction; but this might mean
+a lot more computation overhead when opening files.
+
+<P> limited window sizes to that of the screen (otherwise, on Mac OS, it's
+impossible to resize them.)
+
+<P> fixed "startup" dialogs to allow unlimited "path" and "lib"  entries
+
+<P> started, but didn't finish, the process of getting Pd to compile with
+t_float as 64 bits.  This would slow Pd down but improve tabread4~'s accuracy.
+
+<P> made IEM Guis respect "-font" flag and friends.  New startup flags:
+"-font-face" (badly named); "-font-size" sysnonym of "-font".  (Large patch from
+HC).
+
+<P> String overflow protection here and there.
+
+<P> migrated to ".net" compiler ("VC 2005", a free download).
+
+
 <P> ------------------ 0.40-1 --------------------------
 
 <P> Fixed "declare" which wasn't working properly yet in 0.40-0, and
