v0.6.2
Pre-releaseA new version with PlugData, finally!
Thanks to everyone who's helped me with this one, I'm gonna try to name everyone but it's becoming increasingly more difficult. Here we go:
@chee, @JoshuaACNewman, @60-hz, @polarity, @Wasted-Audio , MZY-CBX, JaqueArse, @jaffasplaffa, @hellocatfood, @hAK-klang, daniellumertz, DSB, fredeic, @vasilymilovidov, @hatitrain, BonefishSam
For Linux users, I'd recommend using the OBS packages, or the AUR package on Arch.
OBS packages (maintained by @KottV): https://software.opensuse.org//download.html?project=home%3Aplugdata&package=plugdata
AUR packages (maintained by @aik2mlj): https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/plugdata-git
