Compatibility with Max 8.6

Bugfixes and improvements for release to the package manager. macOS builds for both Max and Pd are now fat binaries for x86 and Apple silicon.

Fix for issue #426

Features:

• full tutorial now included
• hot and cold inlets for each object
• new build system on Windows via Msys2
• documentation for every function of o.expr.codebox can now be found in o.expr.overview
• updated set of examples, including an o.examples.overview
• information on compatibility between older OSC systems and odot
• help files for development patches
• added quickhull() function
• tighter integration with Max's package system
• clear information in overview regarding externals and patchers in development and deprecated areas
• objects now support bundle literals
• o.collect can now be cleared with a reset message
• expressions consisting of a single value (i.e. true, /foo, 0, etc) are now possible.
• == and != now work on subbundles in the same way that o.change does.
• blob() now takes a subbundle and converts it to a blob.
• bundle() now takes a blob and converts it to a subbundle.
• added nonzero()

Bugfixes:

• fixed: det() was unimplemented
• fixed: improved efficiency of jn() and yn() functions
• whitespace relating to messages without data are now modified by the parser correctly
• fixed a number of clerical errors in help files
• fixed issues related to the int* and uint* familes of functions
• float32() and float64() now convert timetags properly

Moved o.atomize, o.downcast, and o.messageiterate into the main release, in addition to minor improvements

RC2 for forthcoming release of 1.3.0

Win / Mac 64-bit release.
Incremental includes latest build on all systems; Mac/WIndows are bundled together into /externals.

Previous beta builds contained a faulty version of o.display -- fixed
Including o.downcast with help file. Future updates will include this as part of the build process and will feature a maxref file in the release

As always, if you'd like to experiment with our /deprecated and /dev materials, you'll need to add these paths as exceptions in the Max application's file preferences.
