Change Log - vvvv33beta2

released on 31 01 03

general

  • added: a whole bunch of help files.
  • changed: default maximum framerate set to 120 to save cpu in trivial patches. default maximum framerate when running in background is 30
  • Alt+F1 on a selected node invokes online help
  • docking - Alt+Drag in Windows to dock them to other windows
  • ctrl-tab cycles through a list of all currently visible windows
  • 'set as root' - will no longer overwrite 'Args.txt' but add to it
  • set as root is now done immediatly, and not only the next time you open vvvv
  • save, save all, delete/close patch behaviour more secure & logical
  • inspektor will no longer write values of previously seleceted nodes to a newly selected node
  • Audio nodes will not crash anymore on a system without any audio input

new nodes

  • AudioInput (DirectShow8)

  • RMS (DirectShow8) - get the root mean value of an incoming audio signal

  • FFT (DirectShow8) - get a spread with the frequencies of a audio signal

  • ScopeSpread (DirectShow8) - get a spread with the waveform of an audio signal

  • URLSource (DirectShow8) (experimental - havent found an url with a file to open) - the node just encapsulates the DirectShow node with the same name)

  • TSHR200 RFID GIS Tag reader support

  • Length (String)

  • SetSlice (String)

  • Split (String)

  • Shift (String)

  • Cons (String)

  • QueueSpread (String)

  • RingBuffer (String)

  • S+H (String)

  • EQ (String)

  • ClientID, ClientSetup, ServerSetup (VVVV)

  • MainLoop (VVVV) - allows to set maximum frame rate in foreground/background mode.

  • MidiController (Devices, Relative) for use with devices like the Native Instruments 4control or DOEPFERs pocket dial

  • Blend (Color)

changed nodes

  • Pad (String) will now clip input string if input is larger then specified size
  • renamed output of Cons (Spreads) node to "output" (was "remainder" which didnt make sense)
  • added proxy + proxyport to HTTP (Get)
  • added OnSuccess bang output to HTTP (Get)
  • added Hex mode to Byte (String)
  • S+H will sample the input value once during initialisation; another bug removed
  • FormatValue (String) has Leading Zeroes pin
  • TMRegExpNode will not throw an assertion if matchcount is inconsistent
  • ioboxes got a new pin SliceCount Mode.
  • directshow nodes will be much quieter in the log
  • font for ttyrenderer is now "Lucida Console"
  • changing the spreadcount will change FPinIsChanged and FObserverChanged in ValuePin, ColorPin, StringPin, EnumPin
  • Shortcuts for making screenshots of the active window are now: CtrlF10 (without border) and CtrlF9 (with border)
  • GDI textures - connect them directly to the GDIRenderer which is the source for the texture

fixed nodes

  • FormatValue will work with arbitrary amounts

  • shortcut for toggling updateview (Alt+U) now works

  • cursor might have been invisible when returning to vvvv from another program

  • tooltips will now for sure be hidden when switching to locked mode

  • ioboxes will now hide in locked mode if set to "hidden when locked"

  • 'show root' will show a loaded root with its saved dimensions

  • boygrouping for network setups will now work

  • directshow nodes will now automatically re-initialize when connection is changed

  • crash with AudioRecordSelector

  • mouse (system global) will now allow multible instances on win98 machines.

  • iobox (color) - now works in all modes

  • improved stability of video texture when selecting between various texture sizes

  • netsend/receive basically working but mostly still buggy. sory.

  • String nodes are now much faster with constant inputs

  • improved Renderer (DX8): can now switch to various full screen modes, in windowed mode now it's possible to set the backbuffer size manually, multiple renderers work independently from each other
