  • increased default size for c# editor

  • values, colors (..) can flow over node pins: mixed-data-over-that-same-ol-pin

  • enums now less picky. enum iobox now works if only connected on input pin.

  • in case a IOBox (Raw) was too small it didn't show anything.

  • fixed dynamic plugins not being recompiled when copied to another computer (https://discourse.vvvv.org/t/cant-add-dynamic-plugin-if-i-copy-it-from-one-machine-to-another/14126)

  • fixed Reload bar not showing up in C# editor when external editor (like VS) was using a rename to save the file.

fixed nodes

changed nodes

  • added "Position in PixelXY" and "Client AreaXY" outputs to Mouse (Devices Desktop), Mouse (Devices Window) and MouseState (Mouse Split) nodes

  • Leap (Devices) completely reworked

  • Renderer (HTML Url) and Renderer (HTML String) now use IE11

  • Renderer (EX9): DepthBuffer D24S8 format to enable the Stencil Buffer

  • Writer (EX9.Texture) can now save volumetextures

  • Processors (System) now async

  • IRC (Network Open): added Password and Channel Password

  • UDP (Server) and UDP (Server String) now have a Status output that will tell you if the port fails to open

  • IOBox Tooltips now show Tags

  • String IOBoxes that have an Open button can now be ALT-clicked to open the file in Explorer

  • IOBox (Bang/Press) now don't add to UNDO anymore

  • DrawVertexID (EX9) is now PointID (DX9 2d/3d)

new nodes

  • vastly improved support for Arduino/Firmata, see: arduino-second-service

  • new EditingFramework, see: introducing-the-editing-framework which brings vastly improved:

    • PointEditor
    • BezierEditor
    • BezierPatchEditor
    • MeshEditor
    • Camera (2d, 3d)

  • TUIO now with send and receive nodes, see: how-tuio-do

  • easy Spout (DX9 Sender/Receiver) modules, see Spout

  • easy GIF Rekorder (Windows), see introducing-the-rekorder

  • ArtNet (Network Sender/Receiver) now with Net, SubNet and Universe and can be used on any UDP port

  • Eyetracker (Devices TheEyeTribe) including calibration mode

  • CircularSpread (Spreads 2d): Generates a circle in 2d space

  • SpiralSpread (Spreads 2d): Generates a star in 2d space

  • StarSpread (Spreads 2d): Generates a star in 2d space

  • RectangleSpread (Spreads): Generates a rectangle in 2d space

  • GridSpread (Spreads 2d/3d): Generates a grid in 2d/3d space

  • HexGridSpread (Spreads 2d): Generates a hexagonal grid of positions in 2d space

  • RandomSpread (Spreads 2d/3d): Generates a random point cloud in 2d/3d space

  • Distinct (String): Returns a spread stripped of duplicates

  • Except (String): Returns a spread containing slices from Input 1 except slices from Input 2

  • Intersect (String): Returns all distinct elements that are found in both of the Input spreads.

  • Wanderer (Animation 2d/3d: Simulates an easily parameterized random walk

  • Resample (2d Vector)

  • ArcLength (2d/3d): Lets a curve, specified by a spread of vectors, be sampled at arbitrary positions

  • Grow (2d NonUniform): Extrudes a polygon by a given factor nonuniformly for X and Y

  • Undo (Value, 2d, 3d, String, Color)

  • MJpegStream (EX9.Texture Sender/Receiver)

  • ProjectedTexture (EX9.Effects)

  • ConstantVC (EX9.Effect): Constant effect that takes VertexColor into account

  • Point (DX9 2d/3d)

  • Triangle (DX9 2d/3d): Renders a triangle in the DX9 window

  • Triangle (EX9.Geometry 2d/3d)

  • BezierPatch (EX9.Geometry 2d/3d)

  • ViewCone (EX9)

  • Select (Transform)

  • Homography (Transform 2d Quad) assumes the input points are a quad centered at the origin, very fast

  • SetExposedPin (VVVV): Allows writing data directly to exposed pins

  • UpdateView (VVVV): Allows to disable the vvvv UI to squeeze out some more performance

plugin interface

  • NuGet packages now usable in AnyCPU build configurations
  • added support for byte/sbyte/char types to plugin interface

  • fixed a sync issue in output stream implementations between unmanaged backing store and managed length property
  • whether or not a bin size pin gets created by the plugin hosting layer can now be controlled through the new PinAttribute.BinSizeWrapCount property. By default bin size pins will be created for each dimension.
  • added possibility to allow override of plugin in- and output properties (https://discourse.vvvv.org/t/overriding-pinattributes/14334)
  • fixed ordering of bin size pins when used in pin groups.
