Got a load of stuff planned out, but taking a holiday first! The ability to turn projects into stand-alone applications is coming very soon, and some more tools for sound manipulation and sequencing. I haven't had a look at Pure Data for a few years now. It's a great project, but just wasn't for me, and at the time a little unstable. I seem to recall a lack of a decent (or any!) threading model (as per my post), but that may have changed. I consider Praxis and Pure Data to actually be very different projects with very different aims. I made a conscious decision to move to solely using Linux and open-source in my work about 6 years ago (having used Linux for about 5 years by then). The one piece of software that kept me using Windows was AudioMulch. I really like working creatively with high-level patcher environments like AudioMulch, Isadora, etc. It's an area that I think is still quite limited on Linux, particularly for working cross-media. While it's obviously possible to build higher-level constructs in Pure Data, I prefer working with code than patching at a lower level. Praxis also began as an experiment in building a system designed for multiple media from the ground up (without claiming it's the right way to do it! :) ) I find that some other software in this field is limited by its history as either audio software that's had video tacked on later, or vice versa.

Hi Carlos, Thanks for the positive response! Excuse the brief email - on my phone and not near a computer for the next week. It should be easy to turn the zip distribution into a deb. The installer does have the benefit of using pack200 compression though, so is half the size (not a huge issue these days). I also tend to install as a user rather than root, but that's more to do with constant development. I'm aiming for a 6wk release cycle, when holidays don't get in the way! Will aim to follow up further when I'm back working.
