added autopatch exception when patching new objects to circumvent checking of signal-to-non-signal connections since new empty objects are created by default with control (non-signal) nlets.

added verbose error reporting (based on Iohannes Zmoelnig's patch) on console from tcl side in case something is missing on startup (e.g. tkpng package).

implemented new tidy option that offers intelligent alignment when pressed once, and then intelligent spacing if pressed the second time on the same selection

removed hack for adjusting offset for select iemgui objects that introduce inconsistent drawing (those objects have now been fixed)

fixed hacky offset in the original object that made it draw with a unique offset, rendering autopatching and tidy implementation cumbersome without ugly hacks. will break backwards appearance (it will appear with a few pixels offset)

lowered the readsize (EXPERIMENTAL) from 10K to 2000 (originally) 1000. 10K caused high probability of xruns, while 1000 could result in stack overflow in gui-heavy patches.

added intelligent scrolling when trying to make connections between objects that do not fit on the current size of the canvas.

fixed stray bug where undoing deletion of objects that had preset_nodes associated with presets, did not reassociate them properly with the previously stored presets.

provided a more robust way of suspending dsp before closing the patch... needs testing to see if this fixes lingering sporadic crashes when quitting without closing the patch.

fixed bug where only one abstraction was reloaded upon saving one of its instances, vastly optimized the said operation from redrawing/cpu overhead perspective

added additional check to make sure clock_unset is not trying to unset something that just happened (may require further testing, based on one gdb segfault log)

reverted 0.43 backport as its implementation seems unstable when trying to (re)connect to jack via audio properties. Fixed a bug where closing jack while having DAC on would hang pd.

backported audio driver support from 0.43 and the pd/extra folder with supporting fixes/merges where needed. Removed outdated expr-help file in favor of new documentation.
