Enabled sending 32-bit integers and floats via OSC, for compatibility with other applications that receive those OSC data types.
Enabled specifying the timestamp for each video/audio frame in the Save to Movie node, for better control of the movie frame times and framerate.
Added support for higher color-depth (32bpc) images.
Added a section on subcompositions to the Vuo Manual.
Enabled Vuo.framework to be inserted into VDMX5 b8.6.0.6.
Vuo 1.2.4 drops support for Mac OS X 10.7. It runs on OS X Mountain Lion 10.8 through macOS Sierra 10.12.
Vuo 1.2.2 is a big update that fixes 34 community-reported issues, adds several new features, and improves performance and stability. It’s free for people who purchased Vuo 1.2.0 or Vuo 1.2.1. Highlights include:
Improved stability when livecoding with subcompositions
Improved performance of many nodes, including Resize Image, Decode Movie Image, Fetch Image, Pixellate Image, Split Text, Split Text Stream
Added support for loading and saving more image formats, including WebP
Added several new nodes: Measure Length, and 5 new 3D/4D Point → Real type converters
Fixed many issues with image alpha blending
Fixed inability to broadcast OSC messages on some system configurations
Fixed reliability issues when livecoding with Build List and Process List
Added workarounds for many Mac OS X and GPU driver issues
Over the last month, we’ve been planning the upcoming Vuo 1.3 release, and we made a few improvements to Vuo 1.2:
In the Fetch RSS Items node, added support for parsing more data: (Thanks to @Eurotrash for requesting this.)
tags/categories
images inside the HTML <description> tag
CDATA titles/descriptions
In the Make Audio Wave node, added Set Phase port (and “Synchronize Oscillators” example composition) (Thanks to @alexmitchellmus for requesting this.)
Fixed a crash when updating Make Text Layer faster than the display refresh rate (Thanks to @MartinusMagneson for reporting this.)
Renamed the Calculate Elapsed Time node to Subtract Times (Thanks to @lov for suggesting this.)
Vuo 1.2’s biggest new feature is subcompositions: the ability to turn a composition into a reusable node in your Node Library.
This release also makes all-around performance improvements, with large compositions taking less time to start up after you’ve hit the Run button and with complex graphics compositions running more smoothly. And this release adds numerous new nodes, including nodes for beat detection, OSC sending, USB HID, and dates/times.
