Its done and available for download! With this release, we focused on fixing lots of bugs with the GUI and Graph-On-Parent. There are still some odd things of course, but we have rewritten the GUI from scratch for 0.43 so we wanted to make sure we got a stable release out before the really major changes that are upcoming. There are of course many bug fixes and additions since 0.41.4, here are some highlights:

• pd~ object lets you run a patch on multiple CPUs
• Windows builds should be much more stable
• fixed lots of Graph-On-Parent GUI bugs
• lots of work on supporting user-installed libraries
• complete 64-bit support for GNU/Linux
• working 64-bit builds for Mac OS X and Windows
• full support for Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard (32-bit)
• a brand new Help Browser that shows all installed libraries
