ANN: pd-l2ork v.20130920 released

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

As usual, apologies for x-posting... It is my pleasure to announce the latest release of pd-l2ork free open-source visual programming language for interactive media, and supporting K12 educational module for the 32-bit and 64-bit Linux, as well as Raspberry Pi (Arm) platforms. pd-l2ork is the infrastructural backbone of Virginia Tech DISIS Linux Laptop Orchestra (http://l2ork.music.vt.edu). Highlights include: *Ported all vanilla GUI objects and events to cairo-based SVG-like tkpath canvas providing antialiased drawing capabilities, bezier patch cords, and setting stage for a zoomable canvas *Implemented a new scrollbar system using semi-transparent objects right on the canvas *Implemented filtering of autorepeat keyboard events for key, keyup, keyname objects *Expanded K12 library with numerous improvements and added a couple demo files *Backported resizable objects and recent files *Implemented native drag-n-drop *Improved GUI appearance *Began porting 3rd party objects to new cairo-based canvas (non-accelerated 3rd-party objects can be recognized by having a blue selection box and their considerably slower redraw) *Cleaned-up extended pddp documentation and added comprehensive cyclone documentation *Began filtering (disabling) building of redundant externals within the cyclone and other 3rd-party libraries *Proper visual reordering without the potentially cpu-expensive canvas_redraw for all accelerated objects (non-accelerated 3rd-party objects can be recognized by having a blue selection box and their considerably slower redraw) *Disabled drawing of redundant nlets for objects embedded inside a GOP object (for Max users, equivalent to a bpatcher) *Embedded tkdnd and tkpath libs directly into source for a monolithic build; made several improvements to the tkpath lib fork *Many other minor bugfixes and improvements (see Changelog for more info) A screenshot of the K12 module is attached. Alternatively, it can be found at: http://puredata.info/downloads/Pd-L2Ork/releases/20130920/screenshot/image_… Complete Changelog: http://puredata.info/downloads/Pd-L2Ork/releases/20130920/ Download Links: Binary Builds & Documentation: http://l2ork.music.vt.edu/main/?page_id=56 Source: http:///github.com/pd-l2ork/ Best wishes, -- Ivica Ico Bukvic, D.M.A Composition, Music Technology Director, DISIS Interactive Sound & Intermedia Studio Director, L2Ork Linux Laptop Orchestra Head, ICAT IMPACT Studio Virginia Tech Department of Music Blacksburg, VA 24061-0240 (540) 231-6139 (540) 231-5034 (fax) disis.music.vt.edu l2ork.music.vt.edu ico.bukvic.net
