released on 02 09 14

general

always on top stays after toggling fullscreen: always-on-top-command-not-honoured-after-going-fullscreen-and-back-with-a-window
nodebrowser now works on "AlwaysOnTop" patches: gui-bug
fixed: right-clicking-string-input-pins-containing-nil
fixed troubles with selecting links: gui-strange-behaviour
fixed crash when bezier-handle of link was touched over a node
ctrl+g new windows pop up below cursor fixing: ctl g-can-have-the-patch-window-behind-the-task-bar](TODO INTERNALLINK:forum:gui-strange-behaviour" class="extURL forum" target="_blank">ctl g-can-have-the-patch-window-behind-the-task-bar) & ((forum:gui-strange-behaviour
now use shift+click to open editor for gui-plugins: ctrl- -click-non-consistent-behavior
nodebrowser now keeps height as set and is always completely visible
optimized patch redrawing (should also reduce occurances of infamous IOBox bug)
a patch with evaluate=0:
- now now allows default patching/panning: gui-strange-behaviour
- shows a "NO" cursor when hovering input pins indicating that you cannot change those
transformations: changed the way projection nodes and renderer work. default z visibility changed to 0..1 (was -1..1). see: ortho-in-dx11 this was done to improve compatiblity with dx11 and custom shaders from other systems. if nothing is connected to the projection pin of a renderer though visibility is still -1..1 to reduce the effects of the change
got rid of freeze on connect: extreme-cpu-usage-after-very-basic-io-nesting
got rid of hidden connections by showing pin and connections always (pin visibility doesnt matter if connected) see: hidden-pin-connections#comment-156594 (both problems/patches)
added a command to cleanup patches with corrupt links. see: corrupt-link-inside-reader-(string)?full=1
fixed upstream value type / downstream reference type issue in plugin node connections introduced in beta32
SVG nodes now use native SvgDocument class: svg-custom-struct
removed shortcut for UpdateView (ctrl+U)
scrolling of patches gets saved and boygrouped
introduced simple logging for setup.exe by calling it with /log
improved patch loading time a little

code editor

for each file only one editor will be open
improved completion window for C# by adding async keyword and prioritizing entries by their kind (field/property etc.)
completion window for HLSL will only popup when pressing Ctrl + Space. It will also only show predefined functions and parameters as no proper AST for HLSL available.
fixed mouse wheel handling in code completion windows https://github.com/vvvv/vvvv-sdk/pull/203
fixed bracket search in code editor
removed runtime errors from editor
fixed exception when document ends with /comment/: code-editor-bug

new nodes

Architecture (VVVV): about-(vvvv)-x86x64-pin
MouseMatch (Mouse) node able to detect certain mouse events like up/down/wheel and click
SplitAt (Value/2d/3d/...) nodes - splits a spread at given position into two subspreads
AsDocument (SVG) and Join (SVG) make it possible to create and render multiple svg textures two-cool-svg-nodes
ApplyTransform (Mouse) to transform mouse coordinates
Drag (Value) same as Drag (2d) only for one dimension
Merge (Mouse) - merges multiple mice to one
SecondLook (EX9 Softimage) - module that lets you debug your camera better than TestCamera did
ActiveWindow (Windows) returns the handle of the active window
added generic nodes (cons, queue, zip...) for: XElement, XDocument, XAttribute

fixed nodes

Clean (String): clean-(string)-leaves-dirt-when-trying-to-deal-with-only-spaces
Reader (Raw SharedMemory): reader-(raw-sharedmemory)-name-not-updating
Dir (File): dir-file-count-in-subdirectories
IOBox (Enumeration): show-slice-index-iobox-(enumerations)
IOBox (Node): quick fix for "iobox node slicecount indicator wrong?!" /forum-alpha/getslice-and-iobox-%28node%29
RS232 (Devices) will reset outputs should an IOException occur: rs232-connected-pin-does-not-works.
= (Color) now spreadable =-(color)-does-not-spread
Mouse should not get clamped to -1/1 anymore - mousestates-node-clamps-positionxy-to-11
cleanup on tcp (server & client) nodes evaluation and slice management. fixes a division by zero on startup
when disabling the Keyboard (Devices) nodes a keyboard device lost notification will be generated - downstream keyboard nodes will reset their internal state
fixed division by zero exception in collada loader
some outpins didn't evaluate their node when asked for their value - which could lead to strange phenomena. A thorough cleanup yielded a fix for the Expr.Error, OSCEncoder.Status, Renderer (HTML URL), Intersect.FormerIndex, Convert (String Legacy), Reader (Raw SharedMemory)
ConstantWrap (EX9.Effect) now works for spherical texturecoordinates
AsRaw (EX9.Texture) now ~30 times faster
DynamicTexture (EX9.Texture Raw) now ~10 times faster
Random (Value) now initializes correctly random-not-really-random
LFO (Value) does not bang twice on reset resetting-lfo-while-cycles>0-causes-it-to-change-twice
Intersect (Mesh Ray) is now also fast in dx9ex mode
Buffer nodes initialize corrcetly buffer-(spreads)-strange-behavior

changed nodes

Copier (File), Copier (File Async) now create target directory if it does not exist
IOBox (Value Advanced): iobox-(value-advanced)-created-as-integer-default-max-and-min-why-so-low
IOBox (Value Advanced): toggle-bug-(gui-only)
Finder (VVVV) now has an option to search inside modules
Select nodes got tagged with resample, repeat, duplicate
global input device nodes will return dummy device in case no device is installed on the system: error-without-hid-keyboard-(since-beta32- -32.1)
reworked MouseStates (Join) node so that new downstream observer will get notifications of current frame too: new-mousestates-and-nil-%28beta32%29
all file related nodes like Writer, Reader, Copier, ... now have a Success, Error Message and Error pin.
AsXElement (XML) now has a Success and an Error Message pin
Sync (Network) node now has a Seek Threshold and the port pin is spreadable to serve multiple clients on the same machine
Cursor (DX9) now has different "Cursor Types"
Player (EX9.Texture) will exclude hidden files: feature-request-player-%28ex9.texture%29-option-to-exclude-hidden-files
Reader (Raw SharedMemory) will not try to create a new shared memory location anymore. It will only try to open an existing one. Should that fail the new status pins will report about it and a warning will get written to the node's log.

plugininterface

streams are now available as ulong/long https://github.com/vvvv/vvvv-sdk/pull/204
thorough delphi side error handling&logging of clr code throwing exceptions
VMath vecors and matrices now implement IEquatable and IComparable for your Linq pleasure
VColor got a simple Serialize/Deserialize method for RGBA color
