Bugfixes

• Fixed the appearance of the dropdown properties dialog, as well as the window size offset on Windows. (Ico)
• Fixed some cosmetic issues with message boxes not looking correctly while being edited. (Ico)
• Fixed double-click on patch file not opening patch in existing Purr Data instance on Windows. (AG)
• Updated zexy to the latest IEM version to make it work in 64 bit Windows. (AG)
• Updated nw.js to 0.28.1 to fix Purr Data not opening any floating dialogs on Windows for some hardware configurations. (AG)
• Added missing dlls to make fluid~ work on Windows again. (AG)

New features

• Enabled visual feedback when clicking on the empty symbol gatom to edit its value. (Ico)
• Substantial overhaul of fluid~ to make it work better. (AG)

Detailed list of fluid~ fixes and improvements:

• Soundfonts are now searched for on the canvas and library path.
• Optional support for the SMMF MIDI message format which lets you send all types of voice messages to fluidsynth, as well as sysex messages. The latter is useful to retune the synth to different temperaments using MTS (MIDI Tuning Standard) messages. (A pd-lua external for generating MTS messages from Scala tunings can be found in the pd-smmf package.)
• Also fixed a memory leak and a minor issue with program numbers not being translated correctly.

• Fixed asynchronous getscroll and activate regression (Ico)
• Fixed openpanel unable to open a custom path on Windows (Ico)
• Disabled excessive coll legacy call warnings (Ico)

New features

• Improvements to iemgui numbox (drawstyle, font sizing and dialog) (Ico)
  Note: The new numbox drawing style will change the numbox size on existing patches.
• Private abstractions (Guillem, GSoC 2020)

Jonathan is taking a well-deserved break from the release treadmill, so here goes by yours truly. This is just a bugfix release, there are no changes in functionality. I also added a 64 bit package for Windows using the new mingw64 support which got added in 2.14.1 (requires Windows 7 or later); please let me know how it works for you.

Changelog:

• fix a few bugs that prevented the OBS builds to work
• added an option to configure the dpkg-deb tool to tar_em_up.sh

Jonathan's changelog:

• ported Vanilla's [inlet~ fwd] argument (reimplemented to avoid stack allocation and various other problems) (Thanks to Guillem!)
• scrollbar fix for optimal zoom (Thanks Ico!)
• avoid null selectors in core where trivial to do so, gracefully handle and annotate them when/if they happen. Also added an experimental [debuginfo] object so we can output a message with a null selector (and other methods in the future good for testing)
• ported Vanilla patch for [pow~] handling negative samples in input
• ported [savestate] from Vanilla
• ported array, scalar "bang" methods
• add base argument and inlet for [log]
• add zcheckgetfn to m_pd.h for checking method signatures match before doing an end run around typedmess. This is used for the reimplementation of [inlet~ fwd]. (Thanks to Guillem for this)
• port and re-implement Vanilla's "#ffffff" syntax for setting iemgui colors. Additionally, support the "#fff" short syntax. We're not currently saving the symbol colors in the Pd file format, yet. A warning is printed about this since it means we're still storing the lossy color format. A future version will save the symbol colors, but we want to ship a few releases supporting the new syntax before making this breaking file format change.
• added "test-object" abstraction for doing more detailed testing of objects
• fixed bug where the box width was wrong when editing certain objects (thanks to Guillem)
• port "seed" method for [noise~]
• throttle canvas_motion (part 1 of 2 of getting rid of exponential explosion when moving selections)
• port [text] "sort" method
• when clicking an error link, bring the relevant object into the viewport and animate it to make it easy for the user to find
• add "-alsaadd" flag with pulse device for pulse support (Thanks to Sam!)
• fixed some alsa bugs
• ported from Vanilla: preserve phase in [clone] after [all( message, fixed a crasher
• expand and improve the type hints for errors with edge case atoms (null selectors, null symbols, "floatlike" symbol payloads, etc.)
• improvements to french translations (Thanks Joseph!)
• update pd-lua compatibility with Lua 5.4 (Thanks Albert!)
• port multi-step undo from Vanilla (Thanks Guillem!)
• initial touch support in GUI (Thanks Albert and spidercatnat!)
• zoom viewport fix (Thanks Albert!)
