SuperCollider v3.4, released 2010-07

Headlines:

---------

* 2009-09-03 add support for Mac OS 10.5 and greater 64-bit builds of plugins and scsynth
* 2009-07-xx iphone support by Axel Balley added - ab
* 2009-07-21 EnvirGui added, a gui for livecoding/editing environments - adc
* 2009-07-24 Server.plotTree method for visualising the groups and synths on the server - sw
* 2009-07-31 mac osx text-completion feature now includes sclang objects - ds
* 2009-08-01 sclang now has a flag (Platform.ideName) for which IDE is in use (scapp, scvim, scel, sced, jsceclipse...) so that the same class-library can be used with different IDEs, enabling IDE-specific code as necessary - ds
* 2009-08-16 add emergency escape route: if sclang is caught in an infinite loop, send it a USR1 signal to break out of it - ds
* 2009-09-12 String:findRegexp and other regular expressions now available on linux as well as mac - mb,ds
* 2009-09-18 n_order and Server:reorder allow one to specify chains of nodes - sw
* 2009-09-20 simplify the Server recording interface. prepareForRecord is now optional (will be automatically invoked if you don't), and the server gui button is now just two-state "record" "stop" - ds
* 2009-10-04 support multichannel indices for Env:at - jr
* 2009-10-29 improve OSC message correctness: for convenience, sclang allows command names as symbols with no leading slash e.g. \g_new. To improve compliance with the OSC standard, the leading slash is now added to those symbols before dispatch - ds
* 2009-11-07 use nova-simd framework for performance improvements of unit generators - tb
* 2009-11-21 Event type \note supports polyphonic sustain, lag and timingOffset, and responds correctly to free and release. Add \grain event type. - jr
* 2009-11-28 windows: system "application support path", previously hardcoded as C:\SuperCollider, now settable by environment variable SC_SYSAPPSUP_PATH. Default setting for that env var (when using official wix bundle) will be [SC3INSTALLLOCATION] - ds
* 2009-12-15 sclang: 64-bit safety - tb
* 2009-12-15 sclang: performance improvement of math ops - tb
* 2010-01-02 scsynth: use osc-compilant address patterns for server/lang communication - tb
* 2010-01-24 add readline interface to sclang command-line. This is used by default when invoking "sclang" (to use the non-readline interface set the "-i" option to something other than "none") - ds
* 2010-01-24 enable GPL3 code by default - this 'upgrades' the overall binary license from GPL2+ to GPL3+, and allows supercollider to benefit from GPL3+ libraries such as libsimdmath and gnu readline - ds
* 2010-02-04 Improvements to SC.app editor: Split pane documents, AutoInOutdent - sw
* 2010-02-18 scvim: now compatible with gnu screen, opens post window using screen, making it compatible with a pure-CLI environment - ds
* 2010-02-xx add the Deployment32-64 build style for building on OS X (10.5 and greater) - jp
* 2010-03-10 SynthDef:memStore deprecated in favour of the more coherent and typeable SynthDef:add - jr
* 2010-04-11 Moved some more experimental JITLib classes to "JITLib extensions" Quark - jr
