| FEATURE | F636 | Interpolation nodes have a second target value for easily switch between two values. |
| FEATURE | F661 | All interaction nodes now have three new output boolean properties to ease usability: TouchInside is true if at least one touch is hovering over the active area of an interaction node. TouchPressed is true if at least one touch is pressed on the active area and TouchProcessing is true if the interaction node starts to generate output values. The latter two produce different results if the motion threshold in the project settings is not zero and movement has to be larger than that threshold before an interaction node actually reacts to it. not applicable in Express Edition |
| FEATURE | F670 | The import/export/link resource dialog displays all subfolders of selected data pools. |
| FEATURE | F672 | Scene Statistics can now display also local resources of the current scene. Before it displayed all global resource held in memory only. |

Now an enter event is only fired for the first touch entering the active area and a leave event is only fired when the last touch leaves the area. In addition, a new Boolean property "TouchInside" has been added. |
| CHANGE | C641 | In the Value Switch node changed the index format of the input properties to XXX to avoid strange sorting with more than 10 inputs. |
| CHANGE | C709 | The Play/Pause/Stop/... methods of the Quicktime Movie node are now marked as favored so they are visible even when the user has "Show only favored properties" activated in the application options. This Movie Clip node already had those methods favored. |
| CHANGE | C729 | Changed Texture node to have a default max-anisotropy of 8 instead of 1. This way changing the filter from linear to anisotropic immediately shows an improvement in texture quality. |
| CHANGE | C753 | The Node 'Relative ViewPort' has been renamed to 'Viewport/Background' |
| CHANGE | C755 | The default linear attenuation of a Point Light Source has been changed from 1.0 to 0.1. This looks better and fixes an inconsistency since the reset value of the property was already 0.1 |
| CHANGE | C809 | Scroll Text node now automatically starts scrolling when the node is added to a scene. This change does not affect the behavior of a scroll node when loading a scene. In addition, the control methods have been made favored so they appear even if the user has "show only favored properties" activated. |

| BUG | B827 | The License Manager dialog had some flaws. Fixed! |
| BUG | B850 | Fixes the intersection testing for interaction nodes and in-renderer picking for meshes that are restricted to render a specific subset. The previous behavior ignored the subset ID and performed intersection testing on the whole mesh even if only one subset was rendered. |
| BUG | B852 | Image Sequence Node could not handle relative URIs. Fixed. |
| CHANGE | C722 | Extended Ventuz 3 Beta phase until end of February 2011. |
| BUG | B637 | Fixes potential crash when deleting an interaction node while a touch is still active on that node (i.e. deleting a translation node while the user moves the node). not applicable in Express Edition |
| BUG | B639 | Fixes an issue that prevented a TouchLeave event to be fired if the underlying geometry of a Translation/Rotation/Transformation interaction node was moved away from under the touch by another node (i.e. a mover modifying an axis). not applicable in Express Edition |

| FEATURE | F279 | Revised the Scene Auto-Save and Backup system: auto-save/backup files are now stored in the Scenes.revisions folder. Now only a single auto-save file exists which is created in a user-specified time interval. If the user saves a scene with an existing name, a backup of the previous scene version is copied to the Scenes.revisions folder. The number of such backups/revisions can be specified in the Options dialog. |
| FEATURE | F413 | Repositories can store Interface Containers as a special item. These items can be updated by dragging new interface content 'over' them.

| CHANGE | C358 | BREAKING CHANGE: Counter node is now able to count down if End < Start. Added new property which specifies if event arguments should be considered for the Counter methods. |
| CHANGE | C360 | Mouse and Keyboard nodes have now a 'AutoDeactivate' property. If this property is enabled these nodes will be deactivated if a Container node, which hosts such nodes, gets blocked. |
| CHANGE | C367 | Due removal of the possibility to create recursions with Math Effects nodes, we had to introduce a mechanism to load such (now corrupted) scenes. On scene load one of the circular bindings is now deleted. This affects the logic/functionality of the scene. Check the Log for related messages! |
| CHANGE | C400 | The item dialogs of repository's Edit Item and Edit Repository Properties has been improved. |
| CHANGE | C401 | Handling of concurrent write access to network based Repositories has been improved. Access errors are reported to the user properly. |
