If you have any questions and/or want to talk, there is the #dataflow chatroom on IRC.FreeNode.Net, where PD/jMax/MAX-like software is on-topic.
If you have any trouble installing GridFlow (or have any questions), please send me an email about it, or see me on IRC.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This was supposed to be version 0.8.0, but some big improvements promised for 0.8.0 have not been made. Still, an abnormally high number of improvements have been made, so think of this as two or three version changes. The version number has skipped accordingly. For those who tried 0.7.5 at the workshop: this version is slightly different, with a few new bugfixes.
version 0.7.5 (2003.09.28):
- type aliases: int32,i32,i; int16,i16,s; uint8,u8,b; float32,f32,f
- added support for float64 (alias f64, d)
- added support for int64 (alias i64, l)
- doc: added number type table
- @convolve: supports even-sized grids
- fixed bug: puredata gf clock ran way too fast
- rewrote the profiler subsystem (and removed bugs)
- @scale_by: now works with any number of channels
- renamed samples/ to jmax_examples/
- Algebraic Properties Descriptions (internal, used for accelerations)
- @convolve,@outer,@for,@inner,@draw_polygon: much faster
- quicktime: support for pluggable codecs (eg: dv, divx, rpza, ...)
- quicktime: fixed more bugs
- quicktime: major speed increase
- quicktime: added "colorspace" option
- videodev: fixed bugs
- videodev: removed obsolete option "noinit"
- videodev: added option "colormodel" (especially because of new camera drivers)
- sdl: added automatic resizing of window
- png: read support
- jMax bridge: more stable than ever
- PureData bridge: *much* more stable than ever
- Operator1, Operator2 renamed to Numop1, Numop2
- x11: now also called "window", so you can write "@out window", "open window"
- new object classes: @draw_image: picture-in-picture, with alpha blending, etc jmax4_udpsend: send to a jMax 4.0.x system via UDP jmax4_udpreceive: receive from a jMax 4.0.x system via UDP pd_netsend: send to a pd system via UDP pd_netreceive: receive from a pd system via UDP @eight: (like @four, but with eight of them ;-) peephole: like [@out x11] but as inset of a patcher (jMax 2.5 only)
- support for upcoming jMax 4.1
the previous version was released on 2002.04.24 and was numbered 0.7.2.
