Changelog

🐣 Beta 19 WIP

  • 🐛 Fix: our white was not perfectly pure white
  • 🤏 Improved the linearity of our gradients from black to white Before: (notice the huge black region on the left) Before After: After
  • 🐛 Fix: properly display accents in webcam name
  • 🤏 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
  • ✨ Improved feedback loop node, you can now apply effects after the feedback node, that won't affect the image sent back into the loop
  • 🐛 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.
  • Added server, can send http request to set values in Coollab
  • 🤏 Merged Camera and Inspector windows. You can now edit camera values in the Inspector, when no node is selected.

🐣 Beta 18

  • ✨ We are now using a launcher that will auto-install new Coollab versions automatically
  • ✨ Every time input is now nicely formatted like "1h 27m 53s"
  • ✨ 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
  • ✨ The Output Window now doesn't have a title bar
  • 🟦 Nodes: Added "MIDI Multi-Select with Transition"
  • 🐛 Allow access to your microphone on MacOS for Audio nodes
  • 🐛 Fix MacOS version crashing on startup

🐣 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

🐣 Beta 16

  • ✨ You can now import video files! Using the "Video from File" node.
  • 🤏 The time in the timeline is now nicely formatted (as "3m 43s 512ms"). You can also input it like that (by CTRL+clicking on the timeline), as any combination of millisecond (ms) / second (s) / minute (m) / hour (h) / day (d) / week (w). For example "3m43".
  • 🤏 The slider for some parameters (Zoom, Time Speed, etc.) now behaves logarithmically, meaning it will have equal precision in the 0-1 range as in 1-∞. Basically this means they are more practical to use.
  • 🤏 When using a Drag widget, the mouse position now stays locked in place instead of wrapping around the screen.
  • 🤏 Some node inputs now have a little info icon next to their pin, explaining what the parameter does in more details.
  • 🤏 "Random" nodes now use an integer as a Seed, instead of any decimal number.
  • 🤏 Improved Angle widget.
  • 🤏 Improved final image size calculations based on desired aspect ratio.
  • 🐛 Fixed image generation failure in some rare cases.
  • 🐛 Fixed a crash when loading a project that was made in an older version of Coollab and that used a node that had been updated in Coollab.

  • 🐛 Fixed: When writing your own nodes, they were not detected.
  • 🐛 Fixed a few nodes.

🐣 Beta 14

  • ✨ You can now create your own nodes! Read the tutorial to learn everything you need to know.
  • 🐛 Fixed: Plugging a link into an input pin that already has a link now removes the old link. (This bug was introduced in the previous version).

🐣 Beta 13

  • ✨ You can now copy-paste nodes! (CTRL+C / CTRL+V) You can even paste them from one project to another, or send them as text to a friend, who can then paste them in their instance of Coollab.

  • ✨ Improved the randomness of our Random and Noise nodes.
  • ✨ Prevented mouse from getting blocked on the screen edges while dragging a widget or the camera. Instead the mouse wraps around.
  • ✨ Prevented mouse from getting blocked on the screen edges while dragging a node or a link or a selection rectangle in the nodes view. Instead the canvas starts translating as expected.
  • ✨ Greatly improved quite a few nodes, most notably "Glow".
  • ✨ Added quite a few nodes, most notably "Blur" and "Adaptive Halftone".
  • 🤏 You can now pan the Nodes view with the middle mouse button (and you can still use the right button as you used to).

  • 🐛 Fixed crash on Windows when an image export took longer than 2 seconds.
  • 🐛 Fixed freeze on Linux when exporting a video.
