• dot_max5_20100707.zip (492 KB)
• dot.admin: /connect_to message now includes destination range - now connections can properly default to linear scaling
• dot.admin: fixed default min and max behaviour; added type tag test for default to “linear” or “bypass”
• dot.dynamicexpr: expression property outputs directly instead of feeding back
• dot.scale: eliminated “thresh 0” in “nulls” subpatch, added “thresh 0” in patcherargs subpatch. This prevents arguments from being processed more than once, simplifies abstraction output
• dot.admin, dot.router, dot.mappingcoll: eliminated extraneous /connected messaging
• dot.admin: added receives for /namespace/input/get and /namespace/output/get
• dot.admin: fixed dropped properties on /connect_to message
• dot.admin: switched port and name allocation messages to main admin bus

• dot.admin: dot.admin: fixed ranges and linear scaling expression in the case that destination range is not provided
• dot.admin: dot.admin: fixed passing of /*/links/get message

• dot_max5_20100525.zip (468 KB)
• added dot.split
• added dot.normalize
• added dot.nth
• added dot.aggregate
• added dot.change
• dot.median: added third argument/inlet for setting ratio through sorted window for picking result (defaults to 0.5 for true median)
• added dot.wmp → processes raw data from the Wii Motion Plus
• dot.listinterpolate: added arguments
• dot.matchNth: named inlets
• dot.debounce: added overflow outlet
• added third outlet to dot.properties - outputs unmatched
• dot.mappingcoll: removed property filtering from initial /connected message
• updated dot.properties.maxhelp

• dot_max5_20100311.zip (452 KB)
• changed @inputs and @outputs property names to @numInputs and @numOutputs
• dot.dynamicexpr: substitutes “+” for “–” and “-” for “+-”, dot.admin also uses this substitution for feedback scaling
• added dot.leakyintegrator2 and help
• added dot.split and help
• added gate to dot.smooth to handle window lengths of 1 sample
• dot.xmlread2: now forced to output tag type only once per tag
• dot.admin: added “fromsymbol” object between dot.filein and dot.xmlread2 to avoid unpredictable max weirdness
• added 0/1 input to start/stop dot.playabsolute
• added oscalias and oscunalias
• added osc address aliases to dot.admin
• removed deferlow in dot.scale causing multiple outputs on connection modification, replaced with ordered messaging
• fix for dot.scale: property messages were not being filtered for instance
• dot.scale: fixed processing of @scaling argument
• dot.router and dot.routefb: made messaging/aliasing more efficient
• dot.oscalias: fixed messaging order, cleaned up
• dot.alloc2: added deferlow to messaging - helps avoid timeouts while max is “busy”
• dot.dynamicexpr: now removes trailing zeros from generated expressions
• added help patches for dot.OSCalias and dot.OSCunalias
• added dot.OSCalias and dot.OSCunalias to DOT overview patch
• fixed bug in dot.smooth when instantiated with argument of 1
• some changes to /connect protocol to check for existing parameters: (this protocol enables future extensions for convergent mapping)

admin bus: /connect /x /y
destination checks if /y exists, if so
  admin bus: /connect_to /x /y
  source checks if /x exists, if so
    admin bus: /connected /x /y

• made osc namespace aliasing optional: aliasing is only allowed if both source and destination are capable of coding/decoding aliases

• dot_max5_20091218.zip (444 KB)
• added variable playback speed to dot.playabsolute
• switched dot.3dpolar to radian output
• dot.std: fixed argument evaluation
• added dot.covariance and help patches
• removed dot.dynamicscale and help
• added dot.orient and help
• added dot.for and help
• adapted dot.admin to allow parameter queries and bidirectional networking
• changed attribute output timing for dot.admin (doesn't output until registered)
• added dot.matchNth and help
• added dot.matcNth and help (partial matches)
• added dot.state
• dot.xmlwrite2: changed deferlow to defer (was messing up message order when system was busy); fixed write order, indentation order
• added dot.sparkline
• added “deferlow” attribute to dot.squeuedlim. If set to one, each delay step is guaranteed to be at least one control period later
• added dot.timedsmooth2 and help
• added dot.routefb - feedback router for bidirectional dot.admin

• dot_max5_20091015.zip (392 KB)
• fix to dot.admin.maxhelp
• added dot.std and help

• dot_max5_20090928.zip (386 KB)
• rebuilt dot.prependaddr and dot.appendaddr - now more efficient
• fixed typo in dot.probgate.maxhelp
• added “source namespace” argument to dot.router; slightly streamlined message parsing in dot.admin to increase efficiency (no longer adds, then removes source device name.“ Switched from zl join back to prepend/append since testing shows it is more efficient
• switched jcom.oscroute for dot.oscroute in a few places
• streamlined message passing through dot.admin at receive end - removed routing by destination address at output
• dot.admin: changes to namespace parsing, dynamically adding parameters via right inlet. Now sends /register message if attributes change
• dot.admin: removed third outlet - now all attributes are reported from second outlet
• dot.admin: added qlim before /who message
• added dot.filein and help
• dot.admin: switched device definition file loading from text object to dot.filein (was leading to text parsing problem); changed file argument to @definition; fixed declaration of 0 inputs/outputs; loaded namespaces with no attributes now have “type ?” appended to avoid coll error
• dot.admin: added usage print statement if instantiated with plain arguments

• dot_max5_20090916.zip (380 KB)
• dot.boundary and dot.router: fixes to list processing in bypass mode
