@brian I’m finding lots of bugs with the latest release candidate. Specifically:
Hi Paul -
Please post the SystemInfo data from Rhino on your machine.
Are these things that were working as expected in a previous version of Rhino 8, and, if so, which version was that?
Please post a .gh file that demonstrates this issue.
Does “sometimes” refer to a specific workflow that will always lead to this freeze or to something that happens seemingly randomly?

Hi Wim
System info below. Yes, the SR candidate a week or so worked so something has changed in the latest release (or previous release).
With the geometry not showing, I think this is part of the issue. For some reason now, running merge coplanar faces is returning an invalid brep, which Preview doesn’t preview. Has something changed with this component? Interestingly if I delete the component and replace it, it works. But this is within a cluster. When I exit the cluster, it fails. Going back into the cluster after shows it is re-failing. Very strange. Could this be something to do with model unit tolerance being different within a cluster?
The layer panel freezing happens randomly and I can’t isolate the issue. Rhino and the mouse is OK, and I can use Rhino. I just can’t work with the later panel.
Can you confirm if the ‘Equality Filter’ and ‘Group by key’ Grasshopper components were recently updated.

@wim Any update on this?
You can right click the input and select something else…
Hi Paul -
Yes, a few bugs in those components were recently fixed.
-wim
I’m aware of this. The problem is that the latest change, which wasn’t documented in the release notes, broke the definition. No warnings, no ‘old’ icon. It makes troubleshooting the issue painful.
@wim Here is another bug. The solid difference fails for no apparent reason. It should be splitting the element into two pieces but is only returning the upper peiece.

I’m also on 8.8.24149.15001 and iIt looks correct here.

I just re-ran the script. Same GH file, same Rhino version, and now it is working. What could have possibly caused that? Really strange behaviour.
@wim I just updated to the latest SR candidate - 8.8.24158.3001, 2024-06-06
I’m still finding lots of bugs like this one. “Offset plane must be provided if the curve is not planar itself.” But it is planar?!
GH bug_offset.gh (19.9 KB)
Hi Paul. I don’t think the latest changes to the filtering components were supposed to break any existing definitions… but, you may have to right-click on the “Key” input and select Clear Expression from the menu. This will remove any previous settings and then you can select a new key value via the drop-down and tree view control and hopefully it should work again as expected. Also, I did update the guide to show the latest versions of all of these components so hopefully the documentation is now up to date as well. I hope this helps.
I’m not 100% sure why the Offset component was failing with this particular curve… it may have to do with document tolerances. But the error message is asking you to provide a plane that the curve lies on and you have that in the second output of the Is Planar component. Adding this seems to make it work.
