 ### About Cyclone:
 
-Cyclone 0.8-1 needs at least Pd Vanilla 0.54-1. 
+Outdated versions of cyclone (0.1) are available in the long abandoned Pd-extended distribution (which no one should be using now in the 2020's) as well as in Pd-l2ork and Purr Data - both originally based on Pd-Extended but ported to nw.js (0.1 versions of cyclone here were not fully ported to nw.js at the time of this writing). If you want an up to date version of Cyclone, use Pd Vanilla or PlugData.

+Do you know about PlugData, Cyclone is also part of PlugData by Timothy Schoen, which is a fork of Pd that loads as a standalone or VST with a revamped GUI. ​See: <https://github.com/timothyschoen/PlugData>
 
 The original author of Cyclone (Krzysztof Czaja) abandoned it in 2005 at version 0.1-alpha55, when Cyclone was compatible to MAX 4.0. Cyclone was then incorporated and available in Pd-extended, where it only a had a minor update under the maintenance of Hans-Christoph Steiner in 2013 (0.1-alpha56), right before Pd-extended and Cyclone (by consequence) were abandoned altogether (this 0.1-alpha56 version was also inherited by Pd-l2ork/Purr Data). Under a new maintenance phase by Fred Jan Kraan, 0.1-alpha57 and Cyclone 0.2 beta versions were released, still closely related to the previous '0.1-alpha' releases and mostly compliant to Max 4.0!
 
 Cyclone 0.3-0 was the major overhaul in Cyclone, where almost all of its objects got updated to the latest Max 7 version (Max 7.3.5). Many bugs were also fixed, the documentation was rewritten from scratch and new objects were included. Check the provided **CHANGELOG.txt** file for the details in all version changes.
 
-Currently, Cyclone still hasn't reached full compatibility to Max 7.3.5 . Some functionalities that depend on "transport" or "dictionaries" haven't been implemented and actually will never be. Porres, the main current maintainer of Cyclone has a new project called ELSE and some of the missing things in Cyclone can be found there (like an alternative to using 'transport'). ELSE also has many alternatives to objects in Cyclone. Therefore, Cyclone is not in much active development these days and the main goal is to maintain the library, and fix bugs (hence avoid including newer things).

-A couple of objects in Cyclone are now borrowed from ELSE, like [pink~] and [comment] (this one based on ELSE's [note]). These objects are backwards compatible and offer more stuff than the orginal MAX object, so not really fully compatible.
+The main current maintainer of Cyclone (Porres) is much busier with developing the ELSE library. Note that this library has alternatives for almost all cyclone objects and many objects in ELSE are actually inspired by MAX/MSP objects that were not cloned in Cyclone. By the way, ELSE is also part of PlugData, therefore, the documentation of Cyclone points to alternatives in ELSE.
 
-The only object that hasn't been updated yet to MAX 7.3.5 is [mtr] and this is on the To Do list. The [comment] object will most likely always miss 'bubble' stuff from Max 6+ and is not a prper clone as already described. Other minor incomatibility issues are described in the help files of corresponding objects. Cyclone may still incorporate new functionalities in existing objects from Max 8 (current release) and newer 9+ versions in the future, but we can't promise it.

-A 'mc' compatiblity would be possible now, as of Pd version 0.54-0, which supports multichannel connections. Notwithstandingly, there's no plan to create such objects for Cyclone and pursue this compatibility. On the other hand, users can currently build their own "mc" like abstractions based on cyclone objetcs with [clone]. Please note that many ELSE objects have multichannel support by the way.

 You can compile Cyclone from the source provided in this repository for the current bleeding edge last state or download one of the more stable compiled releases from <https://github.com/porres/pd-cyclone/releases>. A good alternative is simply to use Pd's own external download manager (a.k.a deken plugin): just click on the "find externals" option under the Help menu and search for "cyclone".
 
-When installing cyclone, make sure the Cyclone folder is included in a folder that Pd searches for, such as `~/Documents/Pd/externals` - which is what Pd suggests you to do (since version 0.48-0).

 Now you can install Cyclone by loading it in the startup: go to "Preferences => Startup", then click "New", type "cyclone" and hit OK. Next time you restart Pd, the Cyclone library binary will be loaded.
