Spooky Patch, v0.2

picture

This release of our Spooky Send/Receive Patch fixes a couple bugs and adds some additional control to the sender.

Download version 0.2

On the sender, there's now an option to disable the patch's auto-cleaning behaviour. Usually you'll want this to be enabled to prevent memory leaks, but in special cases (in iterators, or when using it as a data-store), you don't want cleaning to take place.

Occasionally, compositions that used this patch would checkerboard on startup. This has been fixed.

Additionally, a lot of stale code (leftovers from Tiger-era development) was removed, making the patch smaller, faster, and more reliable. It should still work in Tiger.

vdmx

any idea why this wouldn't work between compositions in vdmx? would be super useful if it did:).
