v0.6.3

NOTE: this release was re-uploaded on 13-01-2023, with several important fixes.

The next version is here!

Thanks to everyone who helped out by reporting bugs and sending me pull requests! I used to thank everyone who has made a contribution here, but unfortunately it's becoming too hard for me to keep track of that.

Highlights:

• Heavy exporting: plugdata integrates with the Heavy compiler to be able to export patches to C++. Patches can also be compiled to audio plugins, or Electro-smith Daisy firmware. Thanks to @dromer for helping me out with this
• Auto-patching (thanks to @Nejrup):
  • If an object is selected, a new object (created by shortcut) will be placed below & automatically connected if possible.
  • If an already connected object is duplicated (by shortcut) it will be placed next to the previous & automatically connect to the next available inlet/outlet
  • If shift is hold on mouse up, all selected objects will connect to the same inlet/outlet. If start or end object is also selected & have multiple inlets/outlets the selected objects connections will be distributed to them by position.
  • “cmd+k” / “ctrl+k” will connect selected objects
  • shift+drag from inlet/outlet will create connections from all selected objects
• Many new and improved tooltips for inlets/outlets/objects, more object descriptions (Thanks to @tomara-x, @vasilymilovidov)
• Updated to ELSE rc6, with a new objects ([sclae2freq], [osc.route], [osc.parse], [osc.format], [osc.send], [osc.receive], [pdlua]) and more improvements
• Updated to pd-0.53
• Massively improved stability for the plugin version
