These are the release notes for our upcoming release. Welcome to the "insider club"!

Known Issues[edit]

macOS Apple Silicon Build Specific[edit]


Build 2022.35320 - Oct 31, 2023[edit]

New Features[edit]

  • TCP/IP DAT / UDP In DAT / UDP Out DAT - Added 'Message Output' parameter that allows for selection between outputting the full message or just the size. This also has the added performance benefit of removing the conversion from bytes to a DAT-safe message. This parameter does not affect the value of the onReceive callback's byte arg.

New Python[edit]

New Palette[edit]
