Kassen/Vilson,

This beta is indeed compilable on Linux, however for mini you will
need some additional dependencies.

Great, that I can deal with.

The main reason for putting
together a formal "beta" this release cycle was to address some
critical bugs in Mac OS X Lion.

Of course. That makes total sense, especially looking at the environment ChucK is used in educationally. However I'd say that the current state on Linux has some very serious usability issues. Mind you; they look to me as though they are not "big" bugs, just ones that make usage difficult compared to -say- nano and a pair of terminals. I love my nano but I think we can do better than that.

These will give you read-only copies of the source. We are happy to
have people testing and submitting patches (ideally relatively simple
ones, at least), so have at it!

That's the spirit! Patches go to the -dev list, I'll asume.

Let me say how happy I am that we're all getting back in a bit more developmental mode.

Yours,

Kas.
