a and we'll stop adding new stuff. At this point the Grasshopper version will be rolled to 1.0 Beta 1 and we'll keep on fixing serious bugs, resulting in Grasshopper 1.0 Beta 2 etc. etc. until the product is stable enough to be treated as a commercially viable product.
This does not mean Grasshopper will no longer be free. Robert McNeel & Associates (who develop and own the copyrights to Grasshopper) haven't decided yet whether or not to sell Grasshopper or whether to keep it as a free plug-in for Rhino customers.
As soon as Grasshopper 1.0 goes into beta, all development (apart from the odd bug-fix) stops and we start typing on Grasshopper 2.0. It will probably be a few months until the first 2.0 WIP version is released but basically the whole process starts over.
What are we looking to accomplish for 1.0 and which things are planned for 2.0 and beyond? The only major feature still missing in 1.0 is the Remote Control Panel. This feature was removed at some point and has been partially rewritten since then. Once it's finished, we consider the 1.0 feature set to be complete.
To be honest we've made very few concrete plans yet concerning 2.0, however it's clear that some things need to be at least seriously considered and researched. Here follows a list in no particular order:
Documentation System. This is one of the things we know we're going to do as we've already started. The Grasshopper help system will need to be rewritten and a lot of help topics need to be typed up. We have a pretty good idea what it is we want to accomplish with the new help and how we're going to go about it.
Vocabulary. Along with new documentation we'll critically analyse the current terminology and vocabulary of Grasshopper. We'll probably come up with glossaries and style sheets. We want to use words that are —at best— self documenting and —at worst— non ambiguous.
SDK and core library cleanup/improvement. Grasshopper was the first large scale product I ever developed and a lot of mistakes were made in the SDK design. A lot of functions and classes have been marked obsolete over time and many operations are not properly bottlenecked. I also want to add a lot more events so it's easier for code to keep close tabs on what's going on at any given moment.
GUI platform. At the moment Grasshopper is pure .NET winforms using GDI+ for all the interface drawing. There are certain performance issues with using large GDI+ surfaces and certain limitations on what we can and cannot draw. We will be investigating other graphics pipelines such as WPF, OpenGL, DirectX, OpenTK and whatever else seems promising.
Multi-threading. It is clear that some components are embarrassingly parallel, and since almost every single laptop and desktop has at least 4 cores these days it would be a shame not to use them. We will investigate what it takes to implement multi-threading as a standard feature.
Large file support. Grasshopper becomes awkward to use when a document contains more than a hundred or so components. We need to both improve the interface to provide methods for layering or grouping sub-algorithms and also add ways to reduce memory and computational overhead.

cs/numpy-for-iron-python-wit... ) also fails to allow numpy import:
Numpy and Scipy are in directories here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython 2.7\Lib\site-packages\
This is all a sad joke, taking a full day so far. Rhino just sort of sucks for serious work. There's no way I can offer any Numpy/Scipy scripts to clients this way, just impossible. Rhino/Grasshopper Python should come with this stuff, dear developers, or have a simple installer that just works. It comes with math already doesn't it? So why not Numpy and Scipy for serious users?
Upon restarting Rhino, it totally changes behavior and spits out a crazy error upon importing Numpy:
Message: The type initializer for 'NumpyDotNet.NpyCoreApi' threw an exception.Traceback: line 11, in <module>, "C:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython 2.7\Lib\site-packages\numpy\core\multiarray.py" line 6, in <module>, "C:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython 2.7\Lib\site-packages\numpy\core\__init__.py" line 155, in <module>, "C:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython 2.7\Lib\site-packages\numpy\__init__.py" line 1, in <module>, "C:\Users\Nik\AppData\Local\Temp\TempScript.py"
The Grasshopper Python node editor gives the same error. Perhaps I can only import parts of Numpy using "from Numpy import XXXX"?…

Is this only related to my PC then?? What should I do to solve this issue?

tangent lines don't, causing a data mismatch. So...
'Cull' all 'MCX' points that equal the origin, and apply the same cull pattern to the 'iA' list (light blue group).
Move the "Second Point" merge and 'Sort' by distance to earlier in the process.
Add a 4th point to the 'List Item' index list (0, 3, 5, 6).
Remove the tree hack nonsense.
Voila! Perfection. Now that is... persistence.

By the way, there is another way to do this kind of thing that doesn't require such deep knowledge as this method. Not considered as elegant because it doesn't apply in all cases, but it would work here. Create just one curve/pipe and rotate it 26 times.

option, after downloading check if .ghuser files are blocked (right click -> "Properties" and select "Unblock"). Then paste them in File->Special Folders->User Object Folder. You can download the example files from here. They act in similar way, Ladybug Photovoltaics components do: we pick a surface, and get an answer to a question: "How much thermal energy, for a certain number of persons can my roof, building facade... generate if I would populate them with Solar Water Heating collectors"? This information can then be used to cover domestic hot water, space heating or space cooling loads:
Components enable setting specific details of the system, or using simplified ones. They cover analysis of domestic hot water load, final performance of the SWH system, its embodied energy, energy value, consumption, emissions... And finding optimal system and storage size.
