…and a happy new year!

Already save the date: The NODE Institute has announced that there’ll be a vvvv meetup on January 12th!

And also over at The NODE Institute the following webinars are coming up in January:

• January 11: Châtaigne and vvvv: Powering Multimedia Installations by Seb Escudié
• January 18: From Dataset to Dataviz: Mastering Data Visualization by Katharina Mayrhofer
• January 25: Sequencers and Clocks by Arístides García

And there’ll be even more in February!

But before we divvvve deeper into 2024, here is a final review for last year:

• Minor breaking change: We now have support for GPU< RGBA> which means when using latest 5.3 previews you’ll also need to update to latest VL.Addons and VL.Fuse
• We’ve massively improved debugging in vvvv. Read all about it in Debug Views
• We’ve released an initial version of VL.MediaPipe, read more about it in this forum entry

Oh and two suggestions:

• If you need some patching practice: Genuary is currently running and encourages you to build and share little beautiful things following their prompts
• Watch this Introduction to FUSE, the clever GPU patching library:
