helo everyone and welcome to this past months recap.

NODE17 is heavily in the making. the list of workshops is nearly complete and festival passes are already on sale! vvvv and vl are getting ready for their big appearance..

fresh from our labs you got vvvv50beta35.5 whose most important changes i summarized for you in this video. if you’re more the reading type and into vl make sure you don’t miss those three blogposts:

• XML and JSON nodes
• Event based Midi
• Reactive Programming

we’re planning one more release early june that we’ll want everyone to use at node. not sure yet, if it will include the promised vl-node-importing features but we’ll definitely have those available at least in alpha-builds.
