When Fri, Sep 28th 2018 - 10:00 until Fri, Sep 28th 2018 - 17:00
Where PRAXIS Berlin, Oranienstrasse 10, 10997 Berlin, Germany
helo evvvveryone,
we're happy to announce that we'll be hosting a Retune 2018 satellite on September 28th.
wanna take your first simple steps with vl? this is your chance: we'll be hosting 2 (identical) workshops. you can choose between:
- one from 10 to 13h
- the other from 14-17h
the workshop will walk you through examples using the only recently released 2d graphics library (Skia) and the OpenCV library for computervision. you'll learn how with only a few clicks you can achieve quite complex results using vl.
being part of retune, this workshop requires a Retune Ticket which means you also have access to the following:
Day 1 / Thursday, Sep 27th
A full conference day with international keynotes, talks, discussions and performances. Taking place at Silent Green, a former crematorium and now a beautiful event space in Berlin-Wedding. Speakers include Kimchi and Chips, Evan Roth, Ralf Baecker, and Banz & Bowinkel.
Day 2 / Friday, Sep 28th
On the second day, we take the Festival into the city. Satellite events in art and design studios all over town offer workshops, talks, exhibitions, and open-studios. We are closing the Festival with a performance and club night at STATE Studio.
hope to see some of you there!
Release Highlights
This release comes with a cleaned up VL core library. We also made sure that the node set feels more explorable just by making basic nodes more visible than others. Advanced, experimental or obsolete nodes now don't hide in different packages but can be opted into the list of nodes, while browsing the library.
But this release also comes with features for you to clean up. Frames help to structure VL patches in a visual way, groups, and categories in a structural way. You even can tweak the visibility of your nodes in the node browser and by that distinguish rather advanced or still experimental nodes from the daily node set. Library developers will also love the feature to make certain helper nodes internal so that they are free to change or delete them at any time in the future.
A lighter VL
Less VL documents get opened by default, leading to a faster startup and making the navigation menu more meaningful. Less ".Net Packages" get shipped leading to a smaller download and a lighter ".Net Packages" dependency menu. Process nodes now are lighter in terms of memory allocation.
Entry points and document management
We introduce a new way of making a VL patch run. Up to now you always had to drop a VL node into vvvv to make it actually run.
Now you can define an "entry point" in VL, leading to one running instance of that patch.
Skia
This is the first release that supports the VL.Skia library.
It comes with a huge stack of example patches.
Debugging
Debugging should feel much more intuitive, as it now allows to inspect the exact state of the patches for the moment when something went wrong.
Baby, don’t make me spell it out for you
All in all this release makes VL easier to learn, use and develop for.

Русский
Тебе трудно с vvvv, потому что у тебя не очень с английским? Ничего. Теперь мы об этом позаботились. У тебя появилась возможность задавать вопросы, получать ответы и разбираться с проблемами в русском vvvv-чате.
Вот полный список языков, которые мы теперь поддерживаем: https://riot.im/app/#/group/+vvvv:matrix.org
Здесь каждый канал ведет давний пользователь vvvv, готовый помочь на родном языке.
Если ты говоришь на языке, который все еще отсутствует в нашем списке и хочешь помочь другим vvvv-пользователям на твоем родном языке - просто дай об этом знать в одном из чатов и мы поможем тебе настроить новый канал. Ну или просто - присоединяйся к любому каналу, на языке которого ты говоришь - и вперед.
Боимся ли мы, что эта наша затея с языками только расколит всех пользователей, потому что все будут писать только на родном языке, и все знания, и интересные проекты так и будут оседать на разных каналах? Наоборот. Так как каналы всех языков полностью доступны для всех, каждый сможет видеть что где происходит. Это сделает нас ближе. И мы надеемся, что каналы притянут пользователей, профессионалов и целые группы интересных людей о существовании которых сейчас мы даже и не догадываемся. Ведущие каналов будут служить мостами и будут стараться перекидывать дискуссии между языками, если это будет полезно. Ок, давайте попробуем!
Deutsch
Findest du es schwer mit vvvv zu arbeiten, weil dein Englisch nicht ausreicht die Dokumentation zu verstehen oder im Forum fragen zu stellen? Dann haben wir etwas für dich: komm in den deutschen vvvv Chat, wo du alle deine vvvv Fragen auf deutsch beantwortet bekommst.
Für die komplette Liste an unterstützen Sprachen, siehe: https://riot.im/app/#/group/+vvvv:matrix.org
Jeder der Chaträume wird von einem langjährigen Mitglied der vvvv-community geleitet, das bereit ist Fragen in seiner Muttersprache zu beantworten. Wenn du eine Sprache sprichst, die auf unserer Liste noch fehlt und du anderen vvvv-usern in dieser Sprache helfen willst, sag uns einfach in einem der Räume bescheid und wir helfen dir, einen neuen Chatraum anzulegen. Ansonsten bist du natürlich auch in jedem der Räume willkommen um anderen Usern zu helfen.
Man könnte jetzt befürchten, dass mehrere Räume die Community schwächen werden, weil jeder nur noch in seiner Sprache sprechen wird und somit interessante Gespräche in verschiedenen kleineren Räumen untergehen. Aber wir denken im Gegenteil: Dadurch, dass wir öffentlich zugängliche Räume erstellen, die jeder auf einen Blick sehen und ohne Anmeldung betreten kann, haben wir die Hoffnung, die gesamte Community näher zusammenzubringen. Das Ziel ist, dass wir dadurch eine noch diversere Gruppe an Leuten erreichen können, ganze Usergruppen, von denen wir bisher noch gar nicht wussten, dass sie existieren. Ausserdem haben wir die Raummoderatoren, welche als Kommunikationsbrücken zwischen den Räumen dienen. Also lasst uns das versuchen!

Les modérateurs seront là pour faire le pont entre les différents salons quand ils le jugeront nécessaire. Essayons !
Hoi!
I've updated my deployment workflow yesterday solving a major issue which I wonder if anybody else met actually. If you're and you were using vpm nothing changes for you. Except 2-3 more entries in the license agreement page. If you are installing them manually well, you might want to switch to vpm, or edit xml files.
The problem
So the problem was that all my packs depend on md.stdl and mp.pddn which are both swiss army knifes when it comes to dealing with everyday coding issues. So far I just delivered them next to my packs. However this created an issue when 2 packs delivered a different version and vvvv loaded the older one first, it might have broke the pack with the newer version.
Resolution
So I found the simplest way to deal with this is patch the vvvv.exe.config file to look for referenced assemblies in another folder (in this case vvvv\packs\md.core) and put my supporting libraries there. This is what it looks like:
<configuration> [...] <runtime> [...] <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1"> <probing privatePath="lib\core;packs\md.core" /> [...] </assemblyBinding> </runtime> </configuration>
This also means my packs won't deliver these libraries with them. I'm improving these libraries as persistent as possible so old API's should stay the same while up to date packs can be guaranteed to use new API's.
During this process I also got rid of the 100 .NET core System.*.dll's you might have noticed them recently, that was just the result of some misunderstanding
So if you're using them, install or keep installing my packs from https://vvvvpm.github.io
previously on vvvv: vvvvhat happened in July 2018
what a summer...
you missed link? well..you were missed too. so what happened? basically: patch, lake, food. to get a bit of a glimpse, check the final presentations of the focus groups.
next chance to meet your fellow patchers in the realworld is our 4th berlin vvvv meetup on september 5th.
we've still not released our candidate for beta37 since we had a few buggers to fix thanks to your feedback. if no unexpected events occur, this should drop really soon now.
and the latest big news is that we've announced to have started work on a 3d-pack for vl with all bells and whistles. it is a lot of fun to play with and looking really smooth so far. if all goes well, we should be able to show something before the end of this year...
if you're looking for a job, check this announcement by intolight.
Contributions
we got one new contribution this month:
and then, as a direct outcome of a discussion at link, to boost the "work in progress" section on our forum, there are a lot of new things to find here, mostly for vl. again, the idea is to show what you're working on early, even before you have something useful to share. like this we're hoping to prevent that folks start working on the same things in parallel. so be sure to check out these:
and we got two teasers: one and two

Berlin Patchers.
On short notice:
We're looking forward to have Quadrature giving us insights to their latest and greytest work.
Quadrature is a berlin based art collective. Their works revolves around space: data from space, humans in space, messages from space. The results are kinetic installations, performances, graphics, sculptures (actually anything but video) - and 99% of the time vvvv is at least involved in the making process.... They will show current work in progess, e.g. a new sound performance for the Kubus at ZKM.
As always, feel free to bring your project/notebook/questions or whatever you want to share with the community. We have space and time for spontaneous presentations!
There will be a bar serving us drinks. There will also be other poeple around as well. This time we share the space with the openframeworks community.
Thanks go to Lieke and Alfredo who are running the fantastic spacehttps://spektrumberlin.de.
hi there,
beta37 is done - as far as we know. Now, please help us to find out!
Try the release candidate - link at the bottom - by opening the project you're currently working on and see if it opens timely, patching is responsive and everything works correctly. If not, please let us know in the forum using the alpha tag.
Release Highlights
Cleanup and cleanup tools
This one can be understood as a late spring cleaning.
To get the desired appearance in the node browser we at times needed to resort, rename and polish nodes and types without changing much in terms of functionality. There were other examples though where we refined some major bits in the basic node set - e.g. file IO and serialization nodes got a complete rework and just got so much easier to use. And we made sure that the core library feels more explorable just by making basic nodes more visible than others. Advanced, experimental or obsolete nodes now don't hide in different packages but can be opted into the list of nodes, while browsing the library. Within that process, we also polished the node browser quite a bit.
But this release also comes with features for you to clean up. Frames help to structure patches in a visual way, groups, and categories in a structural way. You even can tweak the visibility of your nodes in the node browser and by that distinguish rather advanced or still experimental nodes from the daily node set. Library developers will also love the feature to make certain helper nodes internal so that they are free to change or delete them at any time in the future.
A lighter VL
Startup speed got improved. Also, there are less VL documents open making the navigation menu more meaningful. Let me not begin with the much lighter ".Net Packages" menu or the much lighter download size. Process nodes now opt for mutation which makes them lighter in terms of memory allocation.
Entry points and document management
Together these features allow this workflow:
- Drop VL documents onto vvvv or VL to open them. They start running.
- To make them go away use the "close document feature Ctrl-F4" in the VL document menu.
In essence, this allows to do example patches, tutorials or help patches - an essential feature that will make future libraries so much easier to learn. To have a patch start on document load, create a non-generic process called "Root" in the document patch. So again from the end user perspective: no need to create a node in vvvv to see the patch running.
Ctrl-W now behaves like in an internet browser: It just closes the tab - closing the last tab closes the VL window. Ctrl-W doesn't ask you to save the document though. Closing a tab doesn't close the document, it just closes the view onto the specific patch within the document.
If you now managed to hide the VL window use the "Show VL" command in the vvvv main menu to get back into VL.
Debugging
Debugging should feel much more intuitive, as it now allows to inspect the exact state of the patches for the moment when something went wrong.
Some notes on the debugging settings:
- RuntimePauseOnError: When turned on, allows to inspect nodes and pins above the pink node. You see the values for when the exception occurred. For end users, this feature typically is off. Library developers will likely switch this often depending on whether they're debugging or using their library. Reloading the settings now always should work. No need to restart when switching the setting.
- RuntimeAutoJumpToError: if the auto panning gets in the way this is the setting to turn off.
You can switch the settings via Quad menu -> Settings -> Open in editor.
Cache region
Actually we never really told you about how amazing the Cache region is. If you have any node that you want to perform better, ask yourself if it wouldn't be enough to only compute it when the input changes and then cache the computed results. The cache region allows expressing this easily. The cache region actually got added with beta36, but now the interplay with other constructs works better.
Loops for example now output their spreads in a way that the changed-detection of a downstream connected Changed node or Cache region only triggers if the slices actually changed from frame to frame.
Some of this stuff may for sure sound pretty special interest, but we have the feeling that these details matter in the end for having an expressive but playful language.
Baby, don’t make me spell it out for you
All in all this release makes VL easier to learn, use and develop for.
