released on 09 05 2014

general

• crack.exe is now setup.exe
• vvvv is now dpiAware meaning it works at any OS zoomlevel
• vvvv now defaults to /dx9ex, can still fall back to /dx9
• fixed memory leak when using /dx9ex and moving renderer window to different screen
• fixed small memory leak while patching introduced in beta29
• node in debug mode gets drawn in different colors if it writes to the log
• route more exceptions in DX9 pipeline through LogErrorFmt method which invokes exception dialog
• log will now include node address (if available) and will append the stack trace otherwise only available through the exception dialog
• user contributed packs can now have their own diffff
• girlpowers are reordered by topic now and comes with many new examples
• send/receive nodes now show their channel name by default (can be switched off via middleclick)
• improved startup time by reducing the amount dynamic plugin re-builds
• fix for double-bang double bang issue.

code editor

• added async/await to code editor syntax highlighting
• fixed pluging-code-editor-flashing

patch editor

• now supporting basic touch gestures:
• Two finger pan = Canvas pan
• Press and Tab = Middle Mouse Click
• Two Finger Tab = Right Mouse Click (not shown in this video)
• Long Press = Right Mouse Click
• Long Press + Drag = Right Drag
• new selection behavior:
• if nodes and links are in a selection only nodes are selected
• if only links are in a selection they are selected
• pressing ctrl selects both links and nodes (old default)
• pressing shift only selects links
• IOBox labels now above node if iobox is inlet

boygrouping

• the TCP server will now use an in- and outbound queue per peer client to receive and send messages. fixes boygroup server freeze when one of the clients is frozen
• TCP server will close connection to peer client if outbound queue is full
• TCP client will also use an outbound queue now - shouldn't freeze anymore if server freezes or connection down
• fixed possible deadlock if client loses connection
• fixed issue that caused a boygroup client to not startup
• fixed access violation in nodes connected to a bridge and having nil on one of its inputs

changed nodes

• basic overhaul to keyboard and mouse nodes - see keyboard-mouse-and-touch-news

• SVG all svg geom nodes have an input to set the ID
• Path (SVG) node has a pin to set the path as open or closed
• receive nodes now will turn red on connection errors
• IOBox (Node) can now display raw byte sequences
• Renderer (EX9) Clip Device now off by default (as this caused problems with nvidia cards)
• DMX (Network Artnet Sender) now takes a port via /artnetsendport
• DMX (Network Artnet Receiver) now takes a port via /artnetreceiveport
• IOBox (Value Advanced) has now "Press" mode

fixed nodes

• fixed stack overflow in Queue (Raw)

• replaced Copier (File Async) with legacy version and reimplemented as plugin - see copier-(file-async)-does-not-copy-files-with-less-than-1024-bytes
• fixed spread max calculation of Select nodes - bug came up when using with higher dimensional spreads
• fixed IOBox (Node) not evaluating upstream RAW nodes

plugin interfaces

• now available as nuget packages. see nuget-development-packages
• added ability to share the bin size pin in ISpread<ISpread<T>>. for an example look at the mouse join/split nodes here
• moved Plugin property from IInteralPluginHost to IPluginHost2 in order to access it from the host without the need to reference hosting
• added small interface IPluginContainer in order to navigate to the real plugin in case a container is used by hosting
