[PlanetCCRMA] Re: stk-4.1.1?

[Julius Smith]

Gary Scavone holds the master STK version, and I have corresponded with 
him.  I suggested we put out what he has right now as a "beta" or 
"pre-release" version.  I think we should do what Miller does and put out 
intermediate "test releases" as soon as there are any bugfixes at 
all.  These C++ incompatibility problems have been fixed for months, and it 
clearly suboptimal not to put them out immediately in some form. Since Gary 
and Melissa have a new baby (born Feb. 29!), an official release might not 
be possible anytime soon, so I would go with the patch -- I expect it 
contains similar fixes.  I offered to post my unofficial version in case 
some people are unclear on how to run the patch utility to edit a lot of 
files automatically.  I cannot do more than this because I do not hold the 
master. - jos
