Changes in VDMX6 1.0.0:

Official release of VDMX6 and VDMX6 Plus!!

Changes in VDMX6 b0.21.0:

Media bin themes can now include a background color for cells with loaded media!
Minor updates to 4 Layer VJ Starter template.
Fix, sometimes frames were being output upside-down from BlackMagic outputs
Adds a pop-up button for picking the physical connection site (SDI, HDMI, Component, etc) to both the Blackmagic output plugin inspector and the Blackmagic input inspector
Adds support for internal and external keying (if the selected BlackMagic device supports it), including a key level slider
Misc fixes for small bugs
Change: Layer FX window titles no longer include the last-added asset
Adds animation to status indicator in bug reporter
Fix: clicking on preview windows/main output sends colors to color pickers again
Change: tearing a tab off a window will result in a new window with the same dimensions as the original
Fix: if the UI inspector isn't open, clicking "Inspect" in data source mappings window will open it
Change in how and where windows are first opened: When the new window position is calculated, the location of the UI inspector window is taken into account, if it looks like it will overlap the newly opened plugin, the plugin's moved so it won't be obscured.
Adds a warning for pre-Ventura system
Fix: receivers on master presets weren't showing up in data source mappings window
Fix: demo project windows were overlapping the menu bar
Fix: some comp modes weren't converting from v5 projects
Added option to clear thumbnail cache to the Preferences > Files
Clicks in the background of windows more consistently uninspect UI items
If there is at least one audio analysis plugin, the raw audio and audio FFT receivers will automatically select the first one from the list. This way audio reactive ISF compositions aren't doing nothing when they are loaded.
Fix: clicks on UI items that aren't visible for various reasons more consistently "fall through" to the window behind them (this results in more consistent UI item uninspecting behavior)

Changes in VDMX6 b0.20.0:

The position of layers/plugins the first time they're opened has changed and should always be near the interaction point that spawned the window
Attempts to make plugins/layers land more reliably in the same tab when opened
Updated some themes to round the corners, added a theme
Fixes to various UI drawing bugs
Improved support for ISFs that don't compile
Added mouseover tooltip on the yellow warning triangle displayed in the asset browser for VidFX- the tooltip explains that clicking the yellow triangle will show the file in the Finder.
Media files iles that don't work for whatever reason can now provide a description string that provides more information to the user. Eg if an ISF generator fails to compile, or a Vuo composition that does not have the correct protocol.
Loading an ISF that fails to compile- either as a source or FX- results in a clickable warning triangle where the UI for the corresponding asset would normally be shown. Clicking it shows the error log in the Finder- the button has a tooltip that explains this on mouseover.
Asset Mgr reloads ISF assets that have been modified
Fixes a bug that was causing errors when calculating the layer size/position- manifests as small errors in x/y and width/height sliders in layer "Size & Pos" controls
Fixes a bug wherein presets and templates made on a setup with a "skinny" menu bar would trigger under the menu bar on setups with a "fat" menu bar. These changes are made automatically during project conversion when updating v5 projects to v6. Changes are also made to projects made by existing private betas, but are only done so manually (you must trigger and then update each preset).
Fixes for color and flippedness bugs on the Metal <-> OpenGL texture exchange, affecting both Vuo and TouchDesigner
Fix- NDI frames could be upside-down under some circumstances
Fixes to NDI sending and receiving
Fix for NDI audio receiving in some cases
Fixes bug with NDI crop settings
Fix: NumFX chains were saving in the wrong place
Fix: Rearranging contents of NumFX chains was broken
Renamed 'templates'->'VDMX6 templates'
Fixed a regression where disk based files weren't being refreshed on when they changed on disk.
Fixed a handful of places that called the Workspace Inspector the Workspace Manager for consisitency.
Minor changes to media bin drawing
