We are happy to announce the release of Max 8.5.6 and RNBO 1.2.1.

On the Max side, we have a number of bug fixes, with improvements to fullscreen jit.window / thispatcher behavior, among other things.

On the RNBO side, this release features many new improvements and bug fixes, with a focus on the Raspberry Pi target (can upload and manage the active patch), new ease objects, messages to the rnbo~ object for managing manual target exports, new integer utilities for codebox, among many other things.
