Impulse is now initialized correctly such that:
These are intended and documented behaviors, but which failed previously in certain UGen configurations. Therefore, users may observe changes to the initial state of synth graphs that use Impulse. (Especially triggered UGens.) For details, a list of resolved/changed behavior can be found here.
For more details see https://github.com/supercollider/supercollider/pull/4150 by @mtmccrea

Integrator Ctor passes through the first sample only by @jamshark70 in https://github.com/supercollider/supercollider/pull/5352. Prior to v3.13, there was a bug that caused the Integrator to double-count the initial value: the integral of a single 1 followed by endless 0s ends up being 2. Starting with v.3.13, it's 1 as expected.
