Re: [Csnd-dev] [EXTERNAL] [Csnd-dev] strget for pfields

as for csoundqt, tarmo did this release some weeks ago, with a stable 
csound 7 version, in my opinion:
https://github.com/CsoundQt/CsoundQt/releases/download/v7.0.0-beta2/CsoundQt-7.0.0-beta2-MacOS.dmg
it should also show the new manual if you want to have it locally:
https://github.com/CsoundQt/CsoundQt/releases/download/v7.0.0-beta2/csound7-manual-local.zip

hope we can have a "real" csound 7 release soon, so that it will be 
easily available for others.
