The new + _Image Frame_ node converts bitmap data into a vector rectangle holding the + image. This paves the way for other vector data like shapes and text to soon + be converted into nodes and composited alongside images. +- _Instant Iterations:_ Incremental graph compilation avoids recompiling the + whole graph each time an edit is made or a value changes. This makes + iteration faster and enables caching of intermediate computations for faster + rendering. + +Later this month, the Alpha Milestone 2 release will launch with new node graph +features, a revamped website, and a wider-reaching project announcement.
