About two weeks ago, I uploaded a new version of csound~ and 

forgot to tell anyone. My sincerest apologies. The latest

version (2006_09_01) along with improved install instructions

The latest version will allow WinXP users to work with Csound

versions 5.02 and later, but is incompatible with earlier versions. 

A MacOSX version has also been added for people using MaxMSP 4.6 on 

a PPC Mac. An Intel/UB version of csound~ for MacOSX is not available 

Relevant entries from the changelog are at the end of this

-> (MacOSX) Compiled a version of csound~ compatible with MaxMSP 4.6.

-> Recompiled WinXP versions to work with Csound 5.02 and 5.03. The 

2006_09_01 build is incompatible with Csound 5.01 or earlier.

-> Replaced RedBlack Tree code with a hash table to store invalue/outvalue

names and values. This will not change the way you used invalue/outvalue

feature. It may improve performance for low k-rate values.

-> If message output is not enabled, then the command line string

passed to csoundCompile() will not be printed to the window.

-> Added messages "recordStart/recordStop/playStart/playStop".

These messages control the newly added sequencer which can record

all MIDI events, "control" message events, and "event" message

This feature is intended mainly for non-realtime rendering.

Adding "-oSomeFileName.aif" to the "csound" command will enable

non-realtime rendering and if there are any recorded events, they

will be played back during the rendering.

This feature has not been fully tested and should not be considered

complete. Other than this entry in the change log, there is no 

documentation. If you haven't talked to me about it, then you probably

-> Fixed command line parsing so that flags that look like negative

numbers (e.g. "-3") are processed correctly.

-> If rendering to a file and reading from a MIDI file, if the "-T"

flag is not present, then it is added so that the rendering thread

exits when the end of the MIDI file is reached.

I have, thanks a lot!!!
Just two minor possible improvements:
Just rename the csound~_demo.mxt into csound~.help, thats what everybody 
wants to be loaded when alt-clicking on csound~...
The instructions to edit the environment.plist could be enhanced by 
showing the use of the property list editor, which comes (I think) with 
the developer tools of OS X.
In my case the environment.plist existed already and you would not want 
to overwrite existing entries...

Elsewise everything worked right out of the box, thanks a lot, big 
improvement...

Actually, that entails a minor change to csound~. I won't get into the

gritty details, but I will put that in the next release.

I wasn't aware that the Csound5 installer would overwrite pre-existing

entries. I'll look into it and let the developers know what I find.

You're welcome. And thanks for the feedback!
