Affects following classes:
New Palette
  • TDAbleton - Added new tdAbletonPackageBeta which has been updated to add support for Ableton Live 11.
  • Palette:reproject - New release. Quickly setup multiple outputs for Camera COMPs quad reproject feature.
  • Palette:splitter - New release. Split large input textures and assign to a screen array.
  • Palette:webSvg - New release. Component to load and transform SVG files, uses Web Render TOP and therefore works on all systems. Replaces deprecated SVG TOP which relied on an older Nvidia SVG library and required a Nvidia GPU.
  • Palette:camera - Reworked the component so that it can be used directly as a camera.
  • Palette:gestureCapture - Added 'Always Record' parameter for continuous recording of input and constant drawing of lines.
  • Palette:kantanMapper - Now allows for dragging a texture directly onto the currently selected shape, and a fix for DPI scaling.
  • Palette:searchReplace - Fixed some issues with multi-value parameter name changes.
Bug Fixes and Improvements
  • Bullet Solver CHOP - Fixed incorrect rotation channel values for some collision shapes.
  • Engine COMP - Fixed issue which prevented custom parameters updating when "Start on Init" was turned on.
  • Engine COMP - Fixed for parameters not being set on load in some circumstances.
  • List COMP - Fixed issue with fontSizeY not working.
  • OP Viewer COMP now shares same panel values as the operator its pointing to which fixes reported issues of no click events on OP Viewer COMPs.
  • Window COMP - Fixed unresponsive 'Open as Separate Window...' and 'Open as Perform Window...' options in the COMP's right-click menu.
  • OpenColorIO TOP - Fixed usage of color correction and file transform files from VFS.
  • RealSense TOP - Fixed issue with 'Color Aligned to Depth' causing librealsense API to fail initializing.
  • Render TOP - Fixed 'Display Overdraw' feature not working.
  • Spectrum TOP - Added correct error for incorrect Nvidia CUDA driver version.
  • Text TOP - Create a global 'default' font to be used when font loading fails, this fixes missing fonts loading into the UI of tools like Palette:stoner and Palette:kantanMapper etc.
  • Text TOP - Fixed crash when using emoji.
  • Text TOP - Fixed some issues with emoji glyphs not being displayed.
  • Text TOP / Text SOP - Better behavior when loaded font is missing, load a fallback font in it's place.

  • Kinect Azure CHOP - Disabled CUDA check on the CHOP when only looking for IMU data.
  • Render Pick CHOP / Render Pick DAT - Now respects 'Cull Face' parameter of the Render TOP.

  • SocketIO DAT - Fixed TLS connection issues.
  • Matrix Class - Fixed getInverse and getTranspose() not actually returning a result.
  • Split up panel width/height/x/y expression dependencies to optimize/avoid recursions.
  • Fixed missing menu choice entries when drag/dropping onto nodes .
  • Fixed issue where TouchDesigner would fail to start on some older versions of Windows 10.
  • Fixed oversized node icons when node stretch extremely wide.
  • Fixed crash by correctly interpreting code points for emojis on macOS.
