Pd-extended 0.40.3
Up to Product page
This release is dedicated to Jamie Tittle, aka Tigital, who recently died of cancer. He was a long time and key contributor to Gem and Pd in general, even while he was in the hospital undergoing treatment. He is sorely missed in this community, and I am sure by many others.
