released on 12 03 10

general

• fixed: newly created nodes are now selected
• fixed texture size types to Int (was double). only FileTexture still uses double. Values between 0..1 are treated as values relative to the image size in file.
• new option "Paste Within Context" connects pasted nodes to those upward nodes, that were connected with the copied nodes. easy to use, hard to explain
• major GUI improvements for moving nodes
• CTRL-Y is now able to reset links
• win7 fixes: vvvv now shows up in ALT-TAB list and allows its windows to autosize when being dragged to screenborders
• doubleclick in a patch to create a node followd by '.' now shows accessible .v4ps again
• rightclicknodelist now shows up correctly even if taskbar not at bottom

new nodes

• String2Enum, Enum2String

new effects

• NormalsAndDepth.fx writes screen space normals and depth of a scene into a texture

fixed nodes

• Find (String) had problems with nil on its inputs (see link).
• some XFile bug fixed
• Writer (File) copes again with relative filenames
• RandomSpread (Spreads) no longer acts like a saw tooth generator. bug
• LFO (Animation) and LFO (Differential) freeze on Zero Period. bug
• OSCDecoder (Network): had problems with unpacking cascaded bundles
• Copier (File) now also copies files that are currently in use
• VertexBuffer (Join): fixes for BlendWeight and BlendIndex inputs
• CountIndices (Spreads) bug fix
• switch fix

changed nodes

• VideoTexture (EX9.Texture VMR9), VideoTexture (EX9.Texture VMR9 YUVMixingMode), VideoOut (DShow9) have a new output named Pixel Aspect
• Ord2Enum has new output: EnumName
• Fiducial (FreeFrame DShow9): renamed ID output to "Fiducial ID"
• DetectObject (FreeFrame DShow9): renamed ID output to "Object ID"
• Contour (FreeFrame DShow9): got new input "Show Filtered"
• Contour (FreeFrame DShow9): got new inputs "Show Filtered" and "Reload Mask"
• DynamicTexture (EX9.Texture String) is now spreadable
• DynamicTexture (EX9.Texture Value) is now spreadable
• DynamicTexture (EX9.Texture Color) is now spreadable
• QRCodeTexture (EX9.Texture) is now spreadable
• MainLoop (VVVV) got a new input: "Improve Timing Precision" which sets the windows timer to max resolution and uses a much more precise frame rate limiting
• Keyboard (System Global) has a new "Keyboard Spread" output and has the "KeyCode" output now spreaded
• Change (String) got an additional pin "Bang On Create"

plugins

• plugins support new pins: TextureOutput, RenderStateInput, SamplerStateInput
• the DimensionNames argument on the CreateValuePin methods finally works (beware: this may brake links to pins that already used those!)
• plugins that save data in their own inputs don't contribute to the undo buffer anymore. fixes the problem discussed here
• Bugfix: IEnumOut inherited IPluginIn instead of IPluginOut (see link).
