Release notes from protongraph

ProtonGraph Pre-alpha

2023-02-18T01:15:11Z

Changelog

Everything was manually rewritten to Godot 4, expect bugs, broken and missing features.

This is not a 1 to 1 port of the previous 0.6.x version. The project is quite big, and the auto convert script was not ready a few months ago. I took this opportunity to refactor a lot of how ProtonGraph works. Most of the previous features were ported back, but I probably missed or broke some of them. This release is mostly there to get bug reports and early feedback before I lock things in place. Check the README for an updated roadmap.

Major updates

Multi window support.
- The graph editor and the viewport can be moved to external windows.
- Useful for ultrawide and multi monitor setups.
- Some keyboard shortcuts only work from the main window, this is a known issue.
Pinning variables is done directly from the node inspector, no need for extras dedicated nodes anymore.
Built-in documentation.
- Accessible from the node inspector directly.
- Actual documentation is missing from most of the nodes for now.
Node scripts are no longer embedded in the build.
- They're available on disk, next to the executable.
- This enables custom nodes and third party nodes packs without having to recompile anything.
Save format changed. Previous graphs are no longer compatible.

Minor updates

Creating a new graph no longer requires you to save it to disk first.
Lots of user interface work:
- Better contrast across the whole application.
- Unused slots now have an overlay to clearly mark them as disabled / ignored. (This happens in the Math node, when picking an operation that only requires one input, like absolute or floor. The second input appears greyed out in these specific cases).
- A new Examples page was added to the welcome view.
- Spinboxes now takes less space and allow for horizontal vector display by default.
New 3D gizmos:
- Path3D and Polyline3D are properly displayed.
- Any 3D object can show its local transform with the 3D axis gizmo.
Create Rectangle now supports rounded corners.
New Discard by distance node: Removes anything close enough from a point.
Vector4 support.
A lot more.

Known bugs

If a bug is not listed in the repository issues view, please report them.

ConceptGraph Release 0.6.1-preview

2020-08-08T11:54:34Z

Changelog

For a full changelog, check out the 0.6.0 release.

2020-08-01T20:03:04Z

Standalone

ConceptGraph Release 0.6-preview

2020-08-08T11:54:56Z

Changelog

This is the first standalone release - Expect bugs and regressions

Added

ConceptGraph is now its own portable software, no need to install it as an addon anymore
Curve functions can be edited directly in the graph node (It was only possible in the inspector before)
New GLTF import and export nodes
New Godot scene import and export nodes
Decimate Mesh node is back and doesn't weight 130MB anymore (it's 2.5MB now)
Editor scale and other settings have their own Settings panel now
File history is stored in "user://" and display the 15 last opened template files
Proxy nodes allows you to better organize your graphs

Changed

Auto save now works like in any other software
Noise preview size can be adjusted. Defaults to 175px wide.
As much data as possible is now saved in the template file. Sharing them should be much easier than before.
Reroute nodes are smaller

Removed

2D nodes support was removed

0.5.1 - alpha

2020-06-22T16:24:32Z

Changelog

Removed

The MeshDecimate node was temporarily removed. (Along with all the c++ portion of the addon)

Turns out I forgot to include the required mesh_optimizer library so it couldn't even work in the first place.
However, said library is over 130 mb for each platform (Windows and Linux) and I have no way to generate OSX builds at the moment. So intead of bothering everyone with a 300mb download for a single node, I removed it until I can figure out a better solution.
