<div>Hi folks, that's me!<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We have been updating the "current" document here => <a
href="https://en.flossmanuals.net/pd-extended/_full/"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://en.flossmanuals.net/pd-extended/_full/</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>One thing that was confusing is that this was referred to
as a "Pure Data" manual, but was in fact a "Pd-extended"
manual. We changed the title and I'm editing the first
introduction page. What needs to be updated there is the
fact that Pd-extended is long gone and abandoned, and it
doesn't run in newer versions of macOS, for instance.
Warnings have been made that the book is being kept as a
historical document, and that it can still be useful if you
adapt the examples to the current version of the official
and main distribution of Pure Data (aka Pd Vanilla) and
install the externals used on the book.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>By the way, there are currently no plans whatsoever to
start a new and updated manual on FLOSS Manuals, or
elsewhere. Anything like that is pretty unlikely to
happen. Our efforts are just in improving the official
manual that comes with Pd Vanilla (now currently referred
to in the edits I made to the "current" FLOSS manual). </div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>------</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Now, we also have this archived version of the same book.
And I just don't understand why it exists. It was actually
the exact same book, with the same contents as the "new
one". We now have minor edits to explain the current
scenario and avoid confusions, but keeping the archived
version still adds noise and confusion.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As for possible solutions, we can make the same changes
back into the archived one. But why keep both identical
books around? One archived, and another not?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It just makes sense to me to delete the old archived one
and just keep this new one around, which also the same
document.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What do you people think?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks a lot for your work keeping up FLOSS Manuals.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Cheers</div>
