Duplex REALLY needs to go out of beta soon, but…I just added some more content
The big news this time is XYPad, a swiss-army knife type of application. Too complex to explain in a single paragraph,
I created this topic, for the discussion and feedback thereof.
Next, OSC bundling support is also good news. While developing XYPad, I discovered that wireless devices lost a lot of
messages (even for low-intensity traffic, this could become a problem). The solution is simple, and optional.
TouchOSC now support message bundling as the default, but wired devices like the monome are still using single
messages, as they have the sufficient bandwidth and speed.
The full changelog for the full 0.98 release:

Done 0.98
Duplex API
- New input method: xypad (supports multi-message values on OSC)
- New UIComponent: UIPad (dual-value, or independant X/Y axis)
- Control-map syntax:
o Attribute names can now contain underscore - OscDevice: optional message bundling
o No more lost messages on wireless devices?
o Set per-device (for example, see the TouchOSC device class) - NRPN support (see http://goo.gl/xOAvf for details)
o Feature is disabled per default, enable in Duplex menu) - Restructured device folders (separate configuration files)
- Customizable palette for each application configuration
o Will import specified values on top of default palette
o See Launchpad XYPad configuration for an example - Automation class for recording controller movements
o Touch and latch recording (latch is considered experimental)
Automation class is utilized by Effect, Mixer, XYPad (so far)
Duplex browser/menu
- Tool menu: devices organized into sub-menu’s
- Tool menu: display on startup (only when active config)
- Tool menu: release all devices (useful shortcut)
- Tool menu: enable NRPN support
