Dear all, we are please to announce that we have just released the new version of our package bach: automated composer's helper. It's a major update, containing a lot of new features and bug fixes. You won't find it on Max's Package Manager, because we don't consider it a fully mature version yet, but we thought it was worth sharing it anyway. You can download freely the package (along with the just-released new version of cage and the first official version of dada) at the URL http://www.bachproject.net/dl/ . If you do, don't forget to have a look at the tab called "What's new in bach 0.8" of the bach.overview patch, in Max's Extras menu. If you are doubtful, you can read a more detailed announcement on the bach forum: http://forum.bachproject.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=600 . We hope you will enjoy the new version as we do! andrea, on behalf of the bach team
