• Added the option to align nodes to a grid (View > Snap to Grid)
• Added the ability to enter/view multiple lines of text within a text input editor.

We also fixed a ton of bugs and improved compilation speed. Read on for the details.

Vuo 1.1 requires OS X v10.7 or later. (Vuo 1.0 was the last release to support Mac OS X v10.6.)

Since alpha2, we improved performance when using the VuoRunnerCocoa API.

Since the previous alpha, Vuo 1.1.0-alpha2 fixes some bugs and finishes implementing some features.

Vuo 1.1.0-alpha1 starts implementing some major new features, like movie exporting.

Vuo 1.0.1 fixes several bugs, such as:

• Incorrect lighting on some 3D models imported by the Fetch Scene node after going through a 3D object filter.
• Hidden cables’ antennas on input ports weren’t tinted the same as the connected output port’s node.
• The Receive Mouse Moves and Receive Mouse Deltas nodes didn’t fire events while dragging.
• The Blur Image node expanded the image’s bounds slightly even when the Expand Bounds port was set to false.
• Header text inside of newly created composition files was missing.
• The error message wasn’t clear when opening a composition that was created in Vuo 0.9 or earlier. (Thanks to @architek1 for asking about this problem!)

…and adds a minor feature:

• Expanded Shade with Vertex Normal to visualize more types of attributes.
