I would still prefer there to be better tutorial material and more testing of extra features in the Windows installer. However, aside from that, after I fix up the installer to use the correct PortAudio DLL, it is ready to go.

To release with only fixing up the PortAudio DLL, February 1.

To release with better testing and tutorials, March 15.

Part of my problem is I'm quite busy with other work at the moment, which has a deadline of March 4.

Regards,
Mike

Another pre-release issue that occurred to me the other day is whether
Csound will build correctly on OSes with an "unexpected" endianness.  i.e.
Will the scons script correctly detect and configure Csound to build on
Big-endian Linux or BSD (PowerPC, Sparc, Alpha, etc.) and also on
Intel-processor-based Macs now that they are available??

I saw a comment in SConstruct the other day that seemed to indicate that it
always assumes x86 architecture for Linux and PPC for MacOS X.

I have an installation of Mandrake PPC linux (9.1) that I could try building
on if needed.

The code certainly attempts to fix endiness, but I do agree that the
code is not of the highest quality.  It is, however, better that it was....
