Before Max 9, one could define one's own objectfiles and substitutions for custom 

-objects which also allowed direct access to their 

 when set up correctly. This was achieved using the method:

Since Max 9 the objects are still created correctly with these lines of text, however, helpfiles and reference pages are no longer accessible and one always ends up at the general jsui/v8ui helpfile.

, it says the following needs to be written in the textfile , or sent as a message to max:

With the example provided in the above mentioned documentation, it's all hunky dory and everything works as expected, including the mentioned 'transform'-command from the object's dropdown-menu. None of this works anymore, whether using the deprecated (?) 

So, I am quite lost and would like to map all the helpfiles and refpages set up to their jsui/v8ui objects again. What can I do?

I have  created a quick 'TEST'-package to make sure I am not missing anything and to allow others to reproduce:

the file 'test-objectmappings.txt' contains the following line, as suggested in the documentation:

max define max.defined.v8ui v8ui max.defined.v8ui.js;

the-define-message.zip

Any help or guidance would be gretly appreciated!

 is now considered legacy, it would make great sense to upgrade the dropfile-options for JavaScript files in Max, since 

-file onto an unlocked patcher. This obviously throws an error when js-Files have been coded for v8.

I'm a bit stuck. I'm trying to playback multiple video files using midi. When a folder is loaded into the JS program, a jit.movie object is created for each video in the folder. The issue comes from how to play each video. I don't seem to be able to use timeouts with JS in max so I have a counter object in the patch to count through the frames of each video, however, I can only do this for one video at a time and can't play them back polyphonically. 

Any hints or solutions would be fantastic!

this may well be the wrong place to ask about this but does anyone know why certain MGraphics functionality has simply been 'changed' ?

The console is clogged with messages such as this one

jsvg_get_size behavior has changed. viewbox X/Y offset unused. color_palette.svg viewbox: 4294967247 0 1181 4294968426

After a long spell of settup a lot of v8ui code to support neat SVG-rendering many of them now appear scaled, compressed, deformed — all because 

This has been implemented in the latest version of Max.

Is this going to be fixed again or am I to expect such changes with any odd update now? Very hard to predict what's going to happen next I am now having to revisit all of my code to scale all vector graphics correctly — in all of my projects.  Unless this will be fixed again. Will it ?

This really ain't good! What am I missing ¿?

MGraphics: jsvg_get_size behavior has changed WHY ?

since the latest update to Max I am experiencing some errors in complex blocks of code where I am not at all pointed to its origin, let alone what can be done about it.

object_findregistered: looking for single sym registered object obj:dictionary:u841003805 in namespace:array, but found in dictionary

I can extract from this that somewhere an 

 with specific name is expected but instead a 

 under that name is received. Now, this error never came before and I am literally clueless as to where the problem hails from. The code thereafter does not do what it is supposed to so my program is no longer working.

 I tried to open a database within javascript in a m4l device. I always get the error message 

v8: none: ReferenceError: SQLite is not defined, line 28".

Seeking up and down the internet, I can't find any mentions SQLite is not supported in m4l devices. Also I don't find any references, I need to use a require statement upfront.

Did someone make it work or has an indication it is not supported or broken?

 Sending large volumes of data from Max to [node.script] over time (even with no processing in Node) appears to cause unbounded growth in Max’s memory usage.

Hi, I've noticed some strange behavior with Node for Max. It seems that the more data is sent from Max to Node, the more memory gets allocated and this increase appears to be unbounded over time.

This becomes problematic in long-running contexts for example, using Node to relay DMX data to hardware continuously over a long period. The memory usage just keeps growing.

I’ve tried to isolate the issue with a patch that sends a bunch of data to a minimal Node script that does nothing except receive messages from Max.

const Max = require('max-api');

Max.addHandler('from_max_patch', (...data) => {
    // No processing, just receiving data
});

Is this behavior due to how Max handles data and memory under the hood, or is it a problem with the implementation of the Node for Max API?

Thanks in advance for any insight or suggestions!

TL;DR: Sending large volumes of data from Max to [node.script] over time (even with no processing in Node) appears to cause unbounded...
