We're meeting up on September 7th, 8pm CET to catch up and get insights into what everyone is patching on. How will this work? Something like the last time. So please fill up your bucket of popcorn and invite all your vvvvriends and vvvvamily to join us!

So where are we?

We have a new release: Update your vvvv beta projects and licenses, vvvv beta 42 is here, including VL 2021.3.3. This means a lot of fixes and improvements!

And then we're still sorting things for the upcoming vvvv gamma 2021.4 release. Besides massive work on new features for VL.Stride as mentioned previously, recently VL.Skia 2d rendering got its GPU backend fixed. This improved its rendering performance and also made the VL.Stride SkiaRenderer node work for AMD cards.

Nothing much else to report at this point other than that while we're quite delayed on our roadmap, things are looking good code-wise. Remeber that you can always follow our daily progress by testing the latest previews. And please don't forget to report issues you find in the forum!

Helo from the devvvvlabs!

If you look at our roadmap, you can see that we had 2021.4 planned for release in June. Now that didn't happen. Here is what happened instead: Guess what, some things took longer than anticipated. So let's recap the state of currently available 2021.4 previews. Besides numerous bug fixes, here is what you already get:

• Speed improvements for working on larger projects are there, but still with some buggers
• TextureFX are there but will see one more round of polishing
• Spout nodes recently got a final polish
• Some little goodies: Renderer ViewPorts, MeshSplit (Experimental), Pipet (Experimental), a non blocking BufferReadback, Custom material overrides, ShaderFX node factory, automatic ShaderFX input pins for all shader types
• Reworked, convenient Buffer and Texture creation nodes have recently been added
• Explicit Type Parameters have recently been added, see discussion
• The This node can be used inside of Create, see discussion

Still in the works for the release: a UI for Settings, simple shader creation, Entity picking, a TexturePlayer. Other things like the planned NuGet update are currently on hold and may have to be moved to the next release.

As many of you do, you can always help by testing the latest previews and reporting issues in the forum!

Dear patchers,
