released on 14 08 12

general

• new shortcut: ctrl+g to "group" selected nodes to a subpatch
• new shortcut: ctrl+k to "ekspose" selected ioboxes (e.g. to kontrolleur, todomap)
• new commandline option: /dx9ex to make use of texture-sharing
• breaks Text (EX9.Geometry) and Flash (EX9)
• has VideoTextures working on multiple devices (of one card)
• new commandline option: /ms-surface to make vvvv start on microsoft surface hardware

• middleclick:
• on vector pin to get a Vector (Join/Split) node
• on a color pin to get a HSV (Join/Split) node
• on a layer pin to get a Group () or Renderer () node where appropriate
• /showexceptions commandline parameter now takes "false" argument to disable it in alpha/debug builds
• now shipping with OpenCV 2.4.1 binaries and updated all freeframes that depended on it
• OpenInPatch works again for effects
• fixed memory leak with internal message sending.
• all guinodes (patch, renderer, plugin) and IWindow now return a window handle
• fixed problem where NodeBrowser would show no entries
• opening helppatches now looks for .lnk if no .v4p is found thus allowing for multiple nodes to receive the same helppatch via file-system links.
• fix: bug-patch-output-pin-disappears-but-data-still-flows
• fix: save-as-of-sub-patch-doesnt-mark-parent-patch-as-changed

new nodes

• MouseState (System Join), MouseState (System Split)
• KeyobardState (System Join), KeyboardState (System Split)
• ApplyModifiers (String): converts Keyboard to actually pressed character string
• Insert (String) Inserts a specified string at a specified index position in the input string
• Kontrolleur (Network) Communicates with the Kontrolleur android app.
• Server (VVVV) Accepts values for pins via OSC
• PatchState (VVVV) Returns info about the current state of a running Patch
• Match (String) (formerly: KeyMatch (String))
• RadioMatch (String) (formerly: RadioKeyMatch (String))
• Length (2d), Length (3d)
• Distance (2d), Distance (3d)
• Angle (2d), Angle (3d)
• Slope (2d), Slope (3d)
• Texture (EX9.Texture Split) returns ALL pixels rgba values. use on small texturesd only... texture-splitting
• Treemap (2d) distributes rectangle over a given area from a list of sizes
• Transform (2d Vector) you beloved 2d transformation as vector version
• Clock (Network Boygroup) a boygroup clock to synchronize animations with the server
• Sync (Network FileStream) a node to syncronize FileStream nodes in a boygroup

changed nodes

• KeyMatch (String) now with Keyboard and multiple options how to interpret input
• RadioKeyMatch (String) now with Keyboard
• DX9Texture (EX9.Texture) can now render depth only when choosing INTZ as texture format
• FiducialTracker (FreeFrame DShow9) rebuilt with latest libfidtrack/reactivision 1.4 and using new tree-data file that detects 216 (was 90) different fiducials
• QuickNodes (VVVV) now accepts new lists of nodes while showing
• OnOpen, OnResume, OnQuit, OnActivate got a "Simulate" input
• Spray (Animation) is now spreadable

fixed nodes

• Text (EX9.Geometry) no longer fails with slices of empty strings
• WavePlayer (DShow9) now less picky with fileformats
• TogEdge (Animation) now no more edges on dis/connecting input
• Find (String) now only operates when input changes
• DynamicTexture (Value) now spreads Apply correctly
• IOBox (Node) fixed problem that wouldn't display a change to a binsize of 1
• Skeleton (Skeleton Collada) now can deal with skeletons having multiple roots in the dae file

plugininterface

• INode, INode2: GetNodePath
• IPin, IPin2: GetSlice/SetSlice, GetSpread/SetSpread, Direction, Type, CLRType, Subtype, SubtypeChanged, SliceCount
• IHDEhost: SendPatchMessage
• new interfaces IMainLoop and IDeviceService see this blog post for details
• new view on pin data: streams, for details see this blog post
• new view on pin data: pointer classes, have a look at the classes in the VVVV.Hosting.IO.Pointers namespace. they can be directly injected with the already known Input and Output attributes
• new interface IIOFactory which can be used to create all kind of views on pin data at runtime
• writing plugins with multiple texture outputs can now easily be done with ISpread<TextureResource>
• fixed various issues with config pins
• moved non generic ISpread to seperate namespace in order to avoid compile issues in C++/CLI
• fix: custom connection handler will be called if there are jumper nodes (getslice, switch) in between the connection
• fix: changing the type of a pin from ISpread<Value> to IDiffSpread<Value> in a dynamic plugin creates a new native pin now
