New bach/cage/dada version publicly available on the Package Manager

[danieleghisi]

Hello everyone,

We are thrilled to announce that there's a new public version of the bach, cage & dada packages out on the Max Package Manager. The new version contains so many bug fixes and improvements that it would be hard to list them here individually (but have a look at the History.txt file that comes with the package: it also lists at the very beginning a few changes that might break compatibility with older patches). It supports Apple silicon machines natively.

These new versions are the result of about two years of development and testing with the feedback of our patrons on Patreon (www.patreon.com/bachproject), whom we'd like to thank a lot, because they contribute to make the development and maintenance of the bach family possible.

Finally, a spoiler: as our patrons already know, we have a new library coming soon, a fourth-born library in the bach family, so stay tuned!

Happy new year and all the best,

Andrea & Daniele
the bachproject team

PS. The Max Package Manager seems to have a quirk for which, as you install bach, fonts are not properly loaded straight away. All you have to do is to quit and relaunch Max again for the correct fonts to appear. It's just the first time, so it's a minor glitch, but be aware of it.
