Perhaps the biggest release so far!

• All objects in plugdata now have tooltips for inlets, outlets and the object itself.
  • The documentation can also be accessed from the "reference" option on right-click
  • You can browse all object docs from the Object Browser, under the "+" button
  • big thanks to @tomara-x and @vasilymilovidov for making this happen!
• Cleanup of toolbar and a new main menu, with more comforts like "Recently Opened"
• New split view allows opening multiple patches next to eachother (thanks to @Nejrup)

  • Params are now addressed by name instead of index
  • Works better in touch/latch more than before, generally more responsive
• Theming improvements
  • More GUI customisation

  • Can now create, import and export themes
• Internal MIDI Synth: built-in General Midi synthesizer that can be selected as a midi output
  • Similar to AU DLS Synth that Max has on macOS, but cross-platform
• Grid improvements:
  • Can now use a real grid, or snap to objects, or both.
  • Settable grid size
  • Grid now also applies to resizing objects
• Resizing objects is less glitchy (thanks @alcomposer)
• ELSE is update to 1.0-rc7, cyclone is updated to v0.7-0
• [else/bicoeff] and [else/messbox] work in plugdata now
• Better results and UX for autocompletion

This is really awesome work guys! I have one issue though and I cannot access the documentation at all. When I click on the help I am getting a message that the documentation cannot be found. Is this on purpose or a known issue ? Can I fix that on my end ? I am running plugdata 0.70 on macos 12.6.

go to your plugdata config folder (sorry i don't speak mac), it should have something like this

but yours is gonna have 0.7.0 instead, select that baby and delete it, then restart plugdata
