version 1.0 Beta 27

Twenty-seventh Beta Release of ELSE 1.0:

Objects count: total of 366 (228 signal and 138 control objects)!

This library version needs at Pd version 0.50-2 or above!

See downloads below in the "assets" tab and check the readme https://github.com/porres/pd-else/blob/v1.0-beta27/README.md for more details and an object list (separated into categories)! The readme is also available as a PDF in the download.

The last version of ELSE is always downloadable directly from within Pure Data. Other earlier versions reside in this repository.

Note that this project is still in a beta stage, this means some changes may occur to some of the objects and backwards compatibility is not guaranteed for future releases until the final stable release is made available.

CHANGELOG:

Breaking changes:

• [pic]: argument order has changed, now you should use flags anyway.
• [canvas.active] no bang input, removed visibilty outlet (this is now in a separate object)

Improvements/fixes:

• [blocksize~] / [sr~] / [nyquist]: fixed potential risky issues that could crash Pd.
• [dir]: fixed bugs where it wasn't loading directories quite right and the behaviour of the open flag - improved documentation.
• [play.file~]: fixed opening files as messages and arguments.
• fixed a regression bug in [keyboard] where it was just not working
• fixed a bug in [canvas.active] where in Linux it did deactivate in a wrong way
• fixed 'clip' function in [rescale] and [rescale~].
• added ZOOM support for [canvas.mouse], also added zero and reset methods. Fixed the output order of outlets!
• [slider2d] and [circle]: improved efficiency by including the [limit] object. Fixed the way [savechange] was being used. Because of the ZOOM support in [canvas.mouse], these objects also now work properly in ZOOM mode!
• [circle]: improved mouse interaction, added bgcolor and 'no-clip' mode.
• [range.hsl]: improved a bit; management when in ZOOM (still has known issues).
• [function] & [note]: added 'dirty' flag for when things changed so it asks you if you wanna save it.
• [function]: Implemented ZOOM capability! Fixed outline color of dots to foreground's (it was always black), fixed a bug where setting receive name repeatedly made the object disappear.
• [pic]: fixed and improved many things, the image now is properly adjusted to the objects's coordinate; object now asks if you want to save changes; now clicking on it sends a bang; added send/receive symbols; added outline mode; now when you're in edit mode you can see an outline and the inlet/outlet; Implemented ZOOM capability (but this doesn't mean the picture gets zoomed); there's also a handy properties windows now!
• 2 new objects for a total of 366 (228 signal and 138 control objects): [canvas.edit], [canvas.vis]

Version 1.0 beta 26

Twenty-sixth Beta Release - 3 new objects for a total of 364 (228 signal and 136 control objects)! This library version needs at Pd version 0.50-2 or above!

Note that this project is still in a beta stage, this means some changes may occur to some of the objects and backwards compatibility is not guaranteed for future releases until the final stable release is made available.

CHANGELOG:

Breaking changes:

---

Breaking changes:

• [dir]: the 3rd outlet now reports 'n' number of found files, the open flag is now reported on a new 4th outlet. Moreover, [dir] now needs to 'reopen' to reload the contents of a directory.

• [sort] is now a compiled object that can also sort symbols.
• [spectrograph~], new 'dim' method to set dimensions and ability to set the object with flags and save the properties with the patch.

---

Breaking changes:

• [loop] - the 2nd outlet was removed (painful change, but I got convinced that just using trigger to send a bang after the loop is finished is a better design choice).

Improvements/fixes:

• [loop] - new float inlet set number of iterations.
• [mtx.ctl] - New import/export/flush methods. Improvements under the hood. It can now keep/save its parameters as regular GUIs do. A new embed method saves the contents within the object.

• [graph~] - new 'dim' method/flag sets dimension.
• [sort] - new outlet to spit indexes and better and more efficient design under the hood.

• [display] - now it can handle literal '$0' and expands it (thanks to [dollarzero])
• 3 new objects for a total of 329: [stack], [dollarzero] and [receiver].
