v10.4.0

10.4.0:

• Notable Changes:
  • "Quicksteps" Evaluation - Dynamic Scheduling: Keep stepping non-animating processes between animation frames, makes "warp" and "turbo mode" largely obsolete for number crunching and improves musical thread synching

  • reduced animation speed from 67 fps to 60 fps
  • disabled santa hats until next Christmas, still loadable as extension
• Notable Fixes:
  • SciSnap file reader, thanks, Eckart!

  • fixed morphic Pen demo and "doIt" for inspectors
• Translation Updates:
  • Armenian, thanks, Antrohoos Education Foundation!

v10.3.1

10.3.1:

• Notable Fixes:
  • fixed c-slot rendering for hat blocks
  • relaxed type assertions to include hat blocks in some script related extensions

v10.3.0

10.3.0:

• New Features:
  1. Custom Hat Blocks
     • Custom Hat Blocks, expressed as predicate defining a condition that fires the event
     • Custom Hat Blocks can choose to be "events" reacting to a state change (default) or "conditions" observing state (indicated by an infinity symbol)
     • new "Events" library featuring custom hat blocks reacting to various state changes
     • hat blocks are now first class and have their own new data type: "hat"
  2. Other
     • new "obj_version(obj)" extension for observing compound structures (lists, actors, scripts)
     • new "infinity" / chain link symbol
     • new "relabel" option for generic "When" hat block lets you switch between "event" (new default) and old "condition" semantics, indicated by the infinity symbol
     • Surprise XMas Skin "Bake a block"
• Notable Changes:
  • directly clicking on a generic or custom hat block runs it no matter what
  • "condition" hat blocks (that always fire when their condition is true) are indicated by an infinity symbol
  • the generic "When" hat block in the palette now has "event" semantics and only fires on state change, blocks in existing projects keep their "condition" semantics
  • optimized evaluation speed of generic (and custom) "when" hat block predicates
  • hat blocks can be ringified (but not - yet - dropped into rings)
  • changed positioning of local method icon (location pin) to be vertically centered
• Notable Fixes:
  • fixed generic and custom hat block scheduling for turbo mode
  • fixed "expand _ to _ slots" block in the metapgroamming libary to be able to fully collapse
  • fixed contrast for local method icon (location pin) in bright ui theme
  • keep musical notes from going of out midi-value bounds
• Translation Updates:
  • German

v10.2.5

10.2.5:

• Notable Fixes:
  • fixed "reshape" to let a zero dimension consistenly refer to the available leaf count, e.g. reshape (['foo', 'bar'], 0) => ['foo', 'bar']
  • fixed an error when referencing a renamed or nonexisting input slot in a slot-menu-event hat block

v10.2.4

10.2.4:

• Notable Fixes:
  • fixed a variadic input slot arrow layout bug
