1.2.0 MacOS
- 💥 YOU NEED TO INSTALL THE LATEST VERSION OF THE LAUNCHER (2.0.0). We had a nasty bug that could cause some projects to not appear properly in the launcher. We fixed it but this means all projects created with new versions of Coollab will not work well with the old launcher. We are sorry to add this annoying breaking change, but we decided to do it now while we don't have too many users, and while you don't have too many projects, rather than having the bug break some projects randomly in the future.
- ✨ Coollab now works on MacOS!
- 🟦 Node: renamed "2D Variation (Gradient)" as "Make Displacement Map"
- 🟦 Node: renamed "Displace" as "Displacement Map" and improved it and added some parameters
- 🟦 Node: added "Distance", that gives the distance to a Shape. You can use it for example to apply a Color Ramp that changes as you get away from the shape
- 🟦 Node: better default values for "Fisheye" parameters
- 🤏 Improved fullscreen mode (F11). The window will no longer minify when clicking on another screen. It is also faster to switch between fullscreen and non-fullscreen, and the window does not flicker weirdly when switching to another window or screen
- 🤏 Added shortcuts CTRL+ and CTRL- to zoom the UI
- 🤏 Renamed "UI Scale" as "UI Zoom"
- 🤏 Save As now switches to the new project by default. The setting to control this has been renamed as "Save As" behaves as a "Save Backup"
- 🤏 We now use the Dark theme by default, instead of using the theme configured in your OS (which was Light for most people)
- 🐛 When exporting an image that overwrites an existing image file, the backup project that we create will now also overwrite the existing backup project. And we added a warning to tell you that this will happen and ask for your confirmation
- 🐛 Notifications where not properly scaled when zooming the UI
- 🐛 We now stop checking for webcams info as soon as we stop using a webcam, which saves some performance
1.1.1 UI Scale Experimental(MacOS)
1.1.1_UI-Scale-Experimental(MacOS) 🔖 [1.1.1 UI Scale Experimental(MacOS)] Release
1.1.1 UI Scale
- ✨ Added inputs for Camera 3D's position and rotation
1.1.0 UI Scale
- ✨ The UI will automatically scale to match your screen's pixel density (DPI)
- ✨ Added an option to scale the UI manually
- 🐛 Fixed: Settings were unnecessarily re-loaded from disk each time we saved them
- 🐛 Fixed: On MacOS the user data where saved in the home directory (
~) instead of~/Library/Application Support
1.0.1 Launcher
- ✨ If there is a problem (crash, etc.), errors will now be written to a file, so that you can then send it to us to help us debugging and fixing your problem. To find this file, follow this short tutorial
- ✨ Some messages that were displayed in the Console are now shown as Notifications, which should look nicer and be more noticeable
- 🐛 Fixed: the OSC listener did not start automatically when opening a project that was making use of OSC
- 🐛 Fixed: we used to always do some work in the background to check for the list of webcams, even if you were not using any webcam in your project
- 🤏 The framerate window now shows a plot of the performance over the last couple of frames
1.0.0 Launcher
Launcher
- ✨ We are now using a launcher that will auto-install new Coollab versions automatically
- 💥 You can no longer open a project directly from Coollab, you have to go through the Launcher. (This is to ensure we use the right version of Coollab for each project, instead of facing an "incompatible version" error when trying to open it)
- ✨ Added a field to rename the project, in the center of the top menu bar
- ✨ Reworked how "Save As" works, to be more intuitive. You also have an option in the Settings menu to change its behaviour.
Quality of Life changes
- ✨ Added shortcut CTRL+E to quickly export an image
- ✨ The aspect ratio of the View is now controlled through a small button in the View
- 🤏 Merged Camera and Inspector windows. You can now edit camera values in the Inspector, when no node is selected.
- ✨ Removed some useless options in the Node's Inspector. Renaming a node is now done by right-clicking on it (or pressing F2)
- ✨ Added a progress bar for long operations like exporting an image, and it will no longer freeze Coollab while the operation is in progress
- ✨ Added nice notifications for all kinds of events and errors
- ✨ Every time value is now nicely formatted as "1h 27m 53s"
Improved VJing setup
- ✨ The Output Window can now easily be turned fullscreen with F10 or by right-clicking on it
- ✨ When opening the Output Window, the aspect ratio automatically adapts to it
- 🤏 We now automatically prevent your computer from going to sleep while you are exporting a video, or using the Output window to project Coollab during a live show or an installation
- 🤏 The Output Window now doesn't have a title bar
New and improved nodes
- 🟦 Added a Glow node that works on any Image (the previous one only worked on Shapes, and is still here because it still looks better on Shapes than the new one). Thank you to illtellyoulater for this contribution!
- 🟦 Added "Monochrome" node
- 🟦 Added "MIDI Multi-Select with Transition" node
- 🟦 "Mirror Repeat" and "Grid" nodes now have a "Content Size" parameter to allow you to fit your content in the square that will be repeated
- 🟦 Image, Video, Webcam and Color Ramp are now using the "Mirror" repeat mode by default. This can be changed in the Inspector.
- 🟦 Changed feedback loop node, you can now apply effects after the feedback node, that won't affect the image sent back into the loop (NB: this is still an experiment, this node will be greatly improved in the future)
Miscellaneous
- 🤏 Webcams now open faster
- 🤏 Better error messages when the webcam doesn't work, and it is faster to re-open once the problem is fixed
- 🚧 You can now send http requests to Coollab to set values (NB: this is still a work in progress, we will document it later once it is stabilized)
Bug fixes
- 🐛 Improved the linearity of our gradients from black to white
Before: (notice the huge black region on the left)
After:
- 🐛 Fix: our white was not a perfectly pure white in some cases
- 🐛 Fix: properly display accents (like "é") in webcam name
- 🐛 When a camera node was present but not actually linked into the graph, it still used the camera and forced us to rerender every frame. Now only the nodes that are actually used affect us.
- 🐛 Allow access to your microphone on MacOS for Audio nodes
- 🐛 Fix MacOS version crashing on startup
- 🐛 Many many other small bug fixes ^^
🐣beta-17
- ✨ Greatly improved video import: we now support videos with transparency, and GIFs
- ⚡ The performance of playing a video has been greatly improved
- 🐛 Video import now also works on Linux and MacOS
- 🐛 Many bug fixes around the video import and playback
- ✨ Improved MIDI support: buttons now have several modes (toggle, selector, pressed)
- 🟦 MIDI nodes: Added "Last MIDI button pressed", and you can now change the Min and Max output values of the "MIDI" node
- 🟦 Nodes: Added "Select" and "Multi-Select" which can typically be used in combination with MIDI buttons, to switch between various images / effects
- ✨ When exporting a video, if the output folder already contains frames from a previous export you now have 4 options, and by default we will prompt you to create a new folder
