- color picker now supports alpha/transparency with a dedicated slider, hex output includes the alpha channel when not fully opaque
- node documentation regenerated to include all latest node updates and corrected port hints
Changelog
Release history for epixtudio
- elements: 14 new UI control nodes (button, text input, textarea, label, checkbox, select, radio, slider, color picker, progress bar, image, container, tabs, and form) for building interactive interfaces directly in the graph
- the form node assembles controls into a complete interactive document with light/dark theming and custom CSS
- live preview window lets you interact with forms and feed events back into the graph
- compile a graph with a form node and the output is a standalone desktop app where the form is the UI
- event listeners now support dynamic channel names wired from upstream nodes, so you can route events programmatically
- run selected now evaluates only the selected nodes, using cached results for upstream inputs; no accidental re-triggering of file writes or deletes upstream
- shift-click a node to visualize its entire upstream dependency chain with a cascading glow pulse; ctrl-shift-click to also select all nodes in the chain
- new
image/to_ansinode converts images to ANSI terminal art with multiple rendering modes and color output options - ANSI output now renders as a live terminal preview instead of raw escape codes
- color inputs now open a full color picker; also available standalone from View > Color Picker
- file path inputs no longer mangle Windows backslashes; the browse button now opens to the folder of the current value
- text inputs now have an expand toggle (▸/▾) to switch between single-line and multiline editing
- fixed brief error flashes on nodes downstream of frontend-rendered nodes
- Google Fonts now fully download before the first render, fixing missing fonts on initial captures
- fixed license key verification
- graph compiler: compile your graph into a standalone Node.js script, a reduced single-file build, or a native executable with a custom icon
- batch execution: run a graph over a list of inputs with progress tracking; new
batch_inputandbatch_collectnodes handle the plumbing - audio nodes: 8 new nodes for generating waveforms, visualizing audio, mixing channels, and exporting WAV files
- expression node: write live reactive formulas that reference other node outputs by name
- watch panel: monitor node output values in a live table without clicking through each node
- command palette:
Ctrl+Shift+Popens a searchable overlay for every action, keyboard shortcuts listed alongside - undo history panel:
Ctrl+Shift+Hshows a visual timeline; jumping to a point briefly glows affected nodes green, amber, or red - graph statistics:
Ctrl+Ifor node counts, category distribution, connectivity metrics, and per-node eval timing - canvas and wiring improvements
