SuperCollider 3.6 alpha is coming out today, with a demo at ICMC and launch party in the evening. http://www.kiberpipa.org/sl/event/unleash-collide-supercollider-ide-preview… The big deal with sc3.6 is a new cross-platform editing environment. I've been doing pre-release testing and gotta say, it's pretty swank. My intent was to do some testing once in awhile and use emacs for most of my coding, but it didn't take too long to switch over to the new editor for everything. And this is coming from an emacs evangelist... It's qt based (like Frescobaldi 2 for lilypond) so it's good in Linux, OSX and Windows 7 (eventually XP too but there's a weird issue that hasn't been fixed yet). I'm using it in Ubuntu 12, clean and smooth. It's alpha but even now, it's hard to crash, so don't be scared of its alpha status. I expect binaries will be uploaded to http://supercollider.sourceforge.net. I doubt that an alpha will go into Linux package repositories, but sc builds easily in Linux (cmake). Enjoy :) hjh
