released on 31 01 03

general

• added: a whole bunch of help files.
• changed: default maximum framerate set to 120 to save cpu in trivial patches. default maximum framerate when running in background is 30
• Alt+F1 on a selected node invokes online help
• docking - Alt+Drag in Windows to dock them to other windows
• ctrl-tab cycles through a list of all currently visible windows
• 'set as root' - will no longer overwrite 'Args.txt' but add to it
• set as root is now done immediatly, and not only the next time you open vvvv
• save, save all, delete/close patch behaviour more secure & logical
• inspektor will no longer write values of previously seleceted nodes to a newly selected node
• Audio nodes will not crash anymore on a system without any audio input

new nodes

• AudioInput (DirectShow8)
• RMS (DirectShow8) - get the root mean value of an incoming audio signal

• FFT (DirectShow8) - get a spread with the frequencies of a audio signal
• ScopeSpread (DirectShow8) - get a spread with the waveform of an audio signal
• URLSource (DirectShow8) (experimental - havent found an url with a file to open) - the node just encapsulates the DirectShow node with the same name)
• TSHR200 RFID GIS Tag reader support
• Length (String)
• SetSlice (String)
• Split (String)
• Shift (String)
• Cons (String)
• QueueSpread (String)
• RingBuffer (String)
• S+H (String)
• EQ (String)
• ClientID, ClientSetup, ServerSetup (VVVV)
• MainLoop (VVVV) - allows to set maximum frame rate in foreground/background mode.
• MidiController (Devices, Relative) for use with devices like the Native Instruments 4control or DOEPFERs pocket dial
• Blend (Color)

changed nodes

• Pad (String) will now clip input string if input is larger then specified size
• renamed output of Cons (Spreads) node to "output" (was "remainder" which didnt make sense)
• added proxy + proxyport to HTTP (Get)
• added OnSuccess bang output to HTTP (Get)
• added Hex mode to Byte (String)
• S+H will sample the input value once during initialisation; another bug removed
• FormatValue (String) has Leading Zeroes pin
• TMRegExpNode will not throw an assertion if matchcount is inconsistent
• ioboxes got a new pin SliceCount Mode.
• directshow nodes will be much quieter in the log
• font for ttyrenderer is now "Lucida Console"
• changing the spreadcount will change FPinIsChanged and FObserverChanged in ValuePin, ColorPin, StringPin, EnumPin
• Shortcuts for making screenshots of the active window are now: Ctrl+F10 (without border) and Ctrl+F9 (with border)
• GDI textures - connect them directly to the GDIRenderer which is the source for the texture

fixed nodes

• FormatValue will work with arbitrary amounts
• shortcut for toggling updateview (Alt+U) now works
• cursor might have been invisible when returning to vvvv from another program

• tooltips will now for sure be hidden when switching to locked mode
• ioboxes will now hide in locked mode if set to "hidden when locked"
• 'show root' will show a loaded root with its saved dimensions
• boygrouping for network setups will now work
• directshow nodes will now automatically re-initialize when connection is changed
• crash with AudioRecordSelector
• mouse (system global) will now allow multible instances on win98 machines.
• iobox (color) - now works in all modes
• improved stability of video texture when selecting between various texture sizes
• netsend/receive basically working but mostly still buggy. sory.
• String nodes are now much faster with constant inputs
• improved Renderer (DX8): can now switch to various full screen modes, in windowed mode now it's possible to set the backbuffer size manually, multiple renderers work independently from each other
