Grasshopper 0.8.0064 available for download

Do not download this build. There is a serious issue with expressions. The next version will be uploaded later today.

Grasshopper 0.8.0064 is available for download from the usual location.

This release contains some very new code so if the current version is working for you and you're on a right dead-line, you might elect to not upgrade just quite yet. There's a number of reported bugs which I'll try and fix within the next few days so there should be a further release coming soon.

Changed since 0.8.0063:

● Sliders can now be instantiated with limits using a "min<value<max" notation.
● Text panels now have less contrasting title blocks.
● Text panels now have left, top and right margins accessible at high zoom levels.
● Text panels now have buttons that appear at high zoom levels for several properties.
● Text Tag 2D component now has a colour input.
● Text Tag 3D component now has a colour input.
● Added Extremes component for finding minima and maxima amongst variable collections (Math.Util dropdown).
● Added Entwine component for flattening and merging a variable collection of data streams (Sets.Tree dropdown).
● Added Find Domain component useful for categorizing numbers (Math.Domain).
● Added Vector Display Ex component which offers more control over display (Vector.Vector panel).
● Added Key/Value Search component for matching generic data with key values (Sets.Sets dropdown).
● Added Characters component for extracting individual characters from a string (Sets.String dropdown).
● Added Consecutive Domains component for converting lists of numbers into domain blocks (Math.Domain dropdown).
● Added Font settings to the preferences window (at the moment Script and Console fonts are rarely used).
● IsoVist components now accept lines, curves, planes, boxes, surfaces, breps and meshes as obstacles.
● IsoVist components now output an obstacle index rather than a hit/miss boolean.
● Added 'Overlay Graphics' section to the Preferences (Interface section).
● VB and C# script components now cache compiled assemblies.
● VB and C# assembly references window has been redesigned (more to come).
● VB and C# missing references are now handled more gracefully.
○ Tuned up 3D Voronoi slicing algorithm, probably still bugs left.
○ Number Slider would only deserialize three decimal places, this is fixed.
○ The tooltip would sometimes be shown behind other windows, this is hopefully fixed.

Especially the changes to the VB/C# script references may prove to be buggy. Please be on the lookout.

Pressing Enter should always set the value without closing the menu, pressing Escape should close the menu. If it doesn't always do this it's a bug, can you walk me through the steps required?

Yeah it's a major bug, I found the problem but I'll try and fix as many bugs as I can within the next hour or so, then release 0.8.0065.

I'm getting an error with the Vector Rotate component. When I add an expression to the Angle input (basically, just converting degrees to radians with: rad(a)) I get the following error: "Object Reference not set t". Kind of a weird error message. Here's a screenshot. Any thoughts?

Expressions are hosed. And the tooltip isn't resizing enough to show the entire message. I already found and fixed the expression bug, now I'm working on the tooltip.
