Today we release version 0.4.17. Download 0.4.17 [here](http://showsync.info/videosync/Videosync-V0.4.17-alpha.dmg)!

**General**  
• A major update for **video playback** , lets you launch and loop videos seamlessly.  
• A major update for **note processing**. All notes are processed, even when you’re using so many plug-ins that the frame rate is really low. So, no stuck notes anymore!

**New plug-ins**  
• **Hatcher** is a unique advanced plugin developed from scratch by [Tarik Barri](http://tarikbarri.nl/). (See some screenshots below!)  
• **Squares** replaces all ’square-related’ instruments by merging them in one instrument.  
• **External Video Instrument** is an instrument which can be used to receive video feeds through Syphon.  
• Write your own GLSL shaders and use them in Videosync! **ShaderLoader** is shipped with some examples to get you started.  
• **Easer** is a modulation device for setting parameters with easing.

And many bug fixes and performance improvements.
