I have uploaded to http://sourceforge.net/projects/csound/ two new file 
release packages for Windows:

We are discussing what release status Csound 5 is in, but I use it for all 
my composing.

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/csound/csound-5beta.exe?download, a 
Windows installer with binaries, plugin opcodes, examples, API headers and 
libraries, the Csound manual in HTML format, and the Csound API manual in 
PDF format.

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/csound/csound5-mingw-2005-03-07.zip?download, a 
zip file with prebuilt executables for Windows and sources for all 
platforms.

In this release, CsoundVST again works as a VST plugin. The Loris sources 
are in flux and the Loris opcodes are currently broken, but Loris still 
works as a Python extension module.

There are many bug fixes and other changes by Istvan Varga, myself, John 
ffitch, Steven Yi, and perhaps others. Please see the ChangeLog for details.

It seems that the command line parameters have changed in the new release, compared to the previous sourceforge release (of January).
I have some questions about some things that are not immediately obvious:

using -Lstdin now leads to an error,
but seemingly, python can send messages to csound even when -L is not enabled.
Is this supposed to work this way ? Have the method of sending events from Python to Csound changed ?

On a related subject, I seem to get very short duration for the events that Python sends to Csound. Even if the p3 parameter is correctly interpreted by csound.
If I use xtratim, I can extend the event's duration so one can hear the instrument play, briefly.

Have the use of the -b and -B values changed regarding realtime performance,
or should they still be the same (equal to ksmps) ?

I have modified the wxController example slightly,
to give examples of the things I ask questions about.

Yes, -L is no longer needed for anything other than actual
line events. I have created a function that allows inserting
events without any -L hacks, and I am changing code to use
this single function.

Hmm, I have a question to Michael Gogins: how is the csoundScoreEvent
function supposed to handle p2 ? I have assumed that it is the time
in seconds since the beginning of the current section, but I may have
been wrong...
Unfortunately there is no documentation on this subject.

The main problem is that the file release was made in the middle of
major code changes, and I did not know about it (was now announced),
and as such had no chance of extensive testing before the release.
