After two years, a new version of Pure Data has finally been released. The main new feature is a complete refactoring of the Graphical User Interface. While on the surface things still look like they used to look in the last 10 years, the new implementation gives hope for more radical improvements in the near future.

The refactoring was lead by Hans-Christoph Steiner (of Pd-extended fame), with some help by the author of this paper and a few other contributors.

The talk will introduce what has changed during this refactoring process, and what should be done in the future for an even nicer user interface experience.
