v1.27.0

Added

• Pegboard — your image, video, GIF or webcam re-made as a backlit peg toy. Samples
  snap to a square lattice, an ordered dither decides which holes carry a peg, colour
  quantizes to an eight-peg tray, and kicks shower pegs out of the board. Set Polarity
  to 0 for a photograph on a light background, 1 for artwork on black.
• Etch — the same sources scratched into aluminium powder one stroke at a time. The
  stylus zigzags along a handful of scan lines and swings wider where the picture is dark,
  advancing with the music, then the board is shaken clean and it starts over. Clear
  cycle sets the seconds between shakes; pull it to zero to hold the board blank and
  raise it to let the drawing build. Polarity works the same way as Pegboard's.
• You can now change the source media for Raster, Pegboard and Etch from the Particles
  panel — a built-in picker plus Image… and Video… buttons, with the live source
  named underneath. Previously only Morph could load media, and every other image effect
  was stuck on whatever its effect file named.
