I agree wholeheartedly, but feel like we should also take a moment to appreciate the scope of the geometry tools which Dynamo has. Just consider this: Dynamo has hosted versions in Advance Steel, Alias, Civil 3D, Generative Design, Forma, FormIt, Revit, and Robot. Even if it ONLY did geometry, that is EIGHT different host applications to deal with geometry for, and it’s own library. Many aspects overlap, but certainly not all of them. If you think coordinating add-in DLLs is hard just imagine the scope of coordinating across all those integrations. Just coordinating the geometry library version takes a significant effort.

One of my favorite quotes along this same line is from either Andrew Heumann or Brian Ringley. One of them said,
“Dynamo is just C# masquerading as Visual Programming”

Orchid is available for 3.x
It’s not on the package Manager, just on GitHub. Should be linked in the list. Last update was 2 weeks ago.

i suppose you are right…
Hi. Having installed the latest version of Data-Shapes (and as per the above table), non of our Data-shapes reliant (UI / MultipleInputForm++ etc.) graphs are working in the updated R2025.2 / Dynamo 3.2.1. The nodes are returning nulls. What am I missing?

Can’t tell without seeing, but my guess is you either have an invalid input now, or something is returning a list which wasn’t before. Best to start a new topic and provide the simplest reproducible case you can (i.e. a datashapes UI that just allows inputting a number).
Just as an FYI:
Clockwork has recently been updated (v2.12.0).
While there is a 3.x release in development, 2.12.0 can be used in Dynamo 3.x / Revit 2025 (i.e. all nodes were tested against that version) provided you have the DynamoIronPython2.7 package installed (version 3.2).
