PROCESSING REV 0187 - 12 July 2010

More bug fixes, and one new treat for OS X users. Hopefully we're about
set to call this one 1.2. Please test and report any issues you find:
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/list

[ additions ]

+ On Mac OS X, you're no longer required to have a sketch window open at
all times. This will make the application feel more Mac-like--a little
more elegant and trendy and smug with superiority.

+ Added a warning to the Linux version to tell users that they should be
using the official version of Java from Sun if they're not.
http://wiki.processing.org/w/Supported_Platforms#Linux
There isn't a perfect way to detect whether Sun Java is in use,
so please let us know how it works or if you have a better idea.

[ fixes ]

+ "Unexpected token" error when creating classes with recent pre-releases.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=292

+ Prevent horizontal scroll offset from disappearing.
Thanks to Christian Thiemann for the fix.

+ Fix NullPointerException when making a new sketch on non-English systems.

+ Fixed a problem when using command-line arguments with exported sketches
on Windows. Thanks to davbol for the fix.

+ Added requestFocusInWindow() call to replace Apple's broken requestFocus(),
which should return the previous behavior of sketches getting focus
immediately when loaded in a web browser.

+ Add getDocumentBase() version of createInput() for Internet Explorer.

Without this, sketches will crash when trying to find files on a web server
that are not in the exported .jar file. This fix is only for IE. Yay IE!

PROCESSING REV 0186 - 26 June 2010

Minor updates following up on 0185.

[ mixed bag ]

+ Android SDK requirement is now API 7 (Android 2.1), because Google has
deprecated API 6 (2.0.1).

+ More Linux PDF fixes from Matthias Breuer. Thanks!

+ PDF library matrix not reset between frames. (Fixed in 0185.)
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1227

+ Updated the URLs opened by the software to reflect the new site layout.

+ Updated the included examples with recent changes.

PROCESSING REV 0185 - 20 June 2010

Primarily a bug fix release. The biggest change are a couple tweaks for
problems caused by Apple's Update 2 for Java on OS X, so this should make
Processing usable on Macs again.

[ bug fixes ]

+ Fix for Apple bug that caused an assertion failure when requestFocus()
was called in some situations. This was causing the PDE to become unusable
for opening sketches, and focus highlighting was no longer happening.

+ Fixed two bugs with fonts created with specific charsets.

+ Fix from jdf for PImage(java.awt.Image img) and ARGB images
public PImage(java.awt.Image) was setting the format to RGB (even if ARGB)

+ Large number of beginShape(POINTS) not rendering correctly on first frame

+ Fix for PDF library and createFont() on Linux, thanks to Matthias Breuer.

+ Fix from takachin for a problem with full-width space with Japanese IME.

+ Reset matrix for the PDF library in-between frames
also added begin/endDraw between frames

[ additions ]

+ Add the changes for "Copy as HTML" to replace the "Copy for Discourse"
function, now that we've shut down the old YaBB discourse board.

+ Option to disable re-opening sketches when you start Processing.
The default will stay the same, but if you don't like the feature,
alter your preferences.txt file to change:
last.sketch.restore=true
to the following:
last.sketch.restore=false
The issue was originally filed here:
However the main problem with this is that due to other errors, the wrong
sketches are being opened, sketches are sometimes forgotten, or windows
are opened concurrently on top of one another, creating a bad situation:
Those bugs are not yet fixed, but will be addressed in future releases.

+ Option to change the default naming of sketches via preferences.txt.
First, you can change the prefix, which defaults to:
editor.untitled.prefix=sketch_
And the suffix is handled using dates. The current default (since 1.0) is:
editor.untitled.suffix=MMMdd
Or if you want to switch back to the old (six digit) style, you could use:
editor.untitled.suffix=yyMMdd

+ Updated bundled JRE/tools to 6u20 for Windows and Linux

+ Several SVG fixes and additions, including some tweaks from PhiLho. These
changes will be documented in a future release once the API changes are
complete.

+ Added option to launch a sketch directly w/ linux. Thanks to Larry Kyrala.

+ Pass actual exceptions from InvocationTargetException in registered
methods, which improves how exceptions are reported with libraries.

+ Added loading.gif to the js version of the applet loader. Not sure
if this is actually working or not, but it's there.

[ android ]

+ Added permissions for INTERNET and WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE to the default
AndroidManifest.xml file. This will be addressed in greater detail here:
And with the implementation of code signing here:

+ Lots of work happening underneath with regards to Android, more updates

soon as things start evening out a bit.

+ Defaulting to a WVGA screen for the default Processing AVD.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

PROCESSING REV 0184 - 14 April 2010

Pre-release version with more bug fixes. Proper release notes will
accompany an actual release. If you're curious in the meantime, look
at todo.txt and done.txt from the source tree.

+ The 'Export' option now works in Android, so that you can get at
the debug APK that's created.

+ Problems finding javac.exe on Windows should now be fixed.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

PROCESSING REV 0183 - 31 March 2010

Bug fixes for Android, should remove the API v5 requirement and make
things work fine with API v6, the new minimum.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .


Bug fix pre-release. This updates three areas:

+ All known bugs with auto-format have been fixed (!)

+ A handful of bug fixes for the Java 5 syntax changes.

+ Fixes for using text with PDF Export.

A more thorough revisions update will be written for the next full
release version (1.2? 1.5? 2.0?) that includes all these changes.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .


Another update for the preprocessor changes (see below).

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .


This is a interim release with a reworked preprocessor that adds Java 5
syntax. We're releasing this interim version because we need help testing
it since it has an impact on any sketch created in the Processing environment.
Basically, we mighta goofed something up big, and we wanna catch it before
we throw it to the wolves.

The release also fixes a number of preprocessor bugs. Those changes will
be documented a bit later.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

PROCESSING 1.1 (REV 0179) - 11 March 2010

This is the first general-purpose release since 1.0.9. The text below merges
all of the changes from all the interim revisions, with the exception of the
changes for the upcoming Android tools, which are not enabled in this release.

Lots of bug fixes over 1.0.9, and several changes that improve how fonts are
handled. Because of the large number of changes (and that some functionality
actually changes, if that's actually a word), this is release 1.1 instead
of release 1.0.10. Which is nice, because release 1.0.10 sounds baffling.

[ font changes ]

+ It's no longer necessary to use textFont() before text() and other
text-handling functions. The default "SansSerif" font is used, which
varies by platform.

+ Also in this release, the createFont() method will only load characters
as they are used, which should greatly improve the font situation on
non-Roman systems like Japanese. This will use far less memory, and should
be all around much more efficient. Formerly, createFont() took several
seconds to run, depending on the speed of your system.

+ Fixed a problem with the Create Font tool ignoring the 'smooth' setting
on some systems.

+ Fixed a separate problem with the createFont() method also ignoring the
'smooth' setting.

+ With the Create Font tool, you can also specify what Unicode character
blocks you'd like to use, making a much smaller font.

+ Fonts are no longer power of 2 by default. This should also make them more
memory efficient. With future OpenGL updates, this will work even better.

[ other changes ]

+ Lots of edits to the HTML that's used for exported applets. If JavaScript
is enabled, Sun's new loading functions are used, which offer the best
compatibility across browsers. If not, the old loading method is used.

+ Changed the OpenGL HTML template to load differently, which should fix a
NullPointerException in JOGLAppletLanucher with Java 6 Update 18 on Windows,
and should also be more efficient altogether, because the JOGL libraries can

be downloaded just once from Sun, rather than for each sketch that uses them.

+ Code from Takachin that handles full input method support in the editor for
Japanese and other scripts that are more complicated than Roman text.
Thanks Takachin!

+ Now using iText 2.1.7.

+ Changed how imports are handled in sketches. This may break some sketches
that use java.xxx packages that aren't covered in the Processing reference.

+ With great help from Hansi, moved the build scripts over to Ant.
Also moved the special JRE for Linux and Windows out of SVN. It'll only be
downloaded when 'ant dist' is run.

+ Javadoc is slowly improving. More on that later.

+ Deprecated 'screen', and added screenWidth and screenHeight. Discussion here:

[ bug fixes ]

+ Fix for filter(DILATE/ERODE) from Dave Bollinger

+ Added implementation for get/set methods inside PImage (w/o pixels[])

+ Updated JNA to version 3.2.4 to support Windows 7 64-bit
Thanks to Maik for tracking down the problem and solution!

+ Fix from taifun_browser to handle texture memory leak with OpenGL and P3D.

+ Hitting ESC inside Color Selector would quit Processing

+ To fix video, and some other libraries on Snow Leopard, exported applications
are now explicitly set to run 32-bit on OS X.

+ Fix LITERAL_class so that blah.class syntax can be used in PDE code.
Found and fixed by Christian Thiemann. Thank you!

+ Fix from Chris Lonnen to lock the minimum size for the main processing editor
frame. (When too small, the console would disappear, etc.) Thanks Chris!

+ If you overwrite PApplet.main(), you're responsible for what happens.

+ Re-enabled hack for temporary clipping. Clipping still needs to be
implemented properly, however. Please help!

+ SVG paths that use 'e' (exponent) not handled properly


+ Change build scripts to use UTF-8 for encoding with javac

+ Fix ant.jar/ant-launcher.jar error in the windows/linux build scripts

+ Fixed a problem where imports inside comments were being included.

[ keys ]

+ Added ctrl-ins, shift-ins, shift-delete for cut/copy/paste on Windows and
Linux, but disabled by default on Mac OS X. You can change the setting by
altering "editor.keys.alternative_cut_copy_paste" in preferences.txt.

+ Added a preference to change shift-backspace to just mean backspace,
rather than delete. Set this entry in preferences.txt:
editor.keys.shift_backspace_is_delete = true

+ Added an option for home and end keys traveling to the start/end of the
current line rather than the beginning/ending of a sketch. The latter is
the HIG default for Mac OS X, but drives some people nuts. Change with:
editor.keys.home_and_end_travel_far = false

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .


Tons of Android work in this release. A2D has been tested and runs correctly
for all of the examples in "Basics" and "Topics". A3D is not quite finished
yet, and the size() command is still causing crashes.

This release also contains lots of work on Android Mode for the PDE, which
is being worked on by Jonathan Feinberg.

[ core ]

+ Fix for filter(DILATE/ERODE) from Dave Bollinger

+ Deprecated 'screen', adding screenW and screenH. See discussion here:

+ Added implementation for get/set methods inside PImage (w/o pixels[])

[ fixes to android core ]

+ Fix noLoop() and static-mode sketches.

+ Fix the freakout that happens with onPause()

+ App not pausing or closing when switching to another activity


+ Bezier curves were broken in A2D (extra point is drawn connecting the
shape to the corner).

+ Fixed other minor bugs in shape drawing.

+ mask() now implemented in A2D

+ updatePixels() now work properly for A2D

+ set() should now be working

+ Using set() on an image that doesn't have a bitmap, or has pixels loaded.

+ requestImage() now working

+ Drastically improve the performance of the time functions (minute() et al)

+ Point wasn't detecting different stroke weights.

+ Point wasn't working with strokeWeight > 1.

+ Fix rotate() bug (was using degrees instead of radians)

+ arc() now working properly

+ createGraphics() works, at least with A2D (or aliases P2D and JAVA2D)

+ Fixed "The application ... has stopped unexpectedly." when quitting slow app

+ test createFont()

+ createGraphics() broken

+ Remove legacy PGraphics3D class from processing.core.android

[ android mode ]

+ Exception handling is much improved.

+ Get stdout and stderr from the emulator/device (println() now works).

+ Removed the ANDROID_SDK env variable requirement.

PROCESSING REV 0177 - 21 February 2010

Fix for the Android tools complaining "Open quote is expected for
attribute "{1}" associated with an element type android:minSdkVersion."

Just posting a new revision because it's easier than writing instructions

for swapping the pde.jar file.

PROCESSING REV 0176 - 20 February 2010

Android changes are at the top, changes for the rest of Processing are listed
below that (a tipoff being that there's no PDF library on Android...)

[ android ]

+ Minimum platform support is changing to 2.0 instead of 1.6. That means
"Eclair" or later, and goodbye to my T-Mobile G1, undoubtedly the ugliest
cell phone I have ever owned. Hello to Droid and Nexus One.
Performance is very poor on pre-2.0 devices anyway.

+ Known issue: Sketches that use noLoop() are currently broken.

+ Added support for libraries and the code folder.

+ Classes have moved to the processing.core package instead of
processing.android.core.

+ Slashes in the SDK path are now escaped properly on Windows.

+ Fix problems preventing Android Mode from running on Windows

+ The tint() method now works.

+ loadFont() and text() now work properly. createFont() has not been tested.

[ changes ]

+ Lots of edits to the HTML that's used for exported applets. If JavaScript
is enabled, Sun's new loading functions are used, which offer the best
compatibility across browsers. If not, the old loading method is used.

+ Changed the OpenGL HTML template to load differently, which should fix a
NullPointerException in JOGLAppletLanucher with Java 6 Update 18 on Windows,
and should also be more efficient altogether, because the JOGL libraries can
be downloaded just once from Sun, rather than for each sketch that uses them.

+ Code from Takachin that handles full input method support in the editor for
Japanese and other scripts that are more complicated than Roman text.
Thanks Takachin!

+ Downgraded the PDF library to use iText 1.5.4, because later versions seem
to load slower, and don't seem to offer additional benefits. If the PDF
library gets worse, please post a bug and we'll go back to the 2.x release
we were using, or upgrade to the more recent 5.x series.

+ Changed how imports are handled in sketches. This may break some sketches
that use java.xxx packages that aren't covered in the Processing reference.

+ With great help from Hansi, moved the build scripts over to Ant.
Also moved the special JRE for Linux and Windows out of SVN. It'll only be
downloaded when 'ant dist' is run. This makes the build and maintenance
more of a mess for me, but will save me from people whining about the
large files.

+ Javadoc is slowly improving. More on that later.

[ bug fixes ]

+ Updated JNA to version 3.2.4 to support Windows 7 64-bit
Thanks to Maik for tracking down the problem and solution!

+ Fix from taifun_browser to handle texture memory leak with OpenGL and P3D.

+ Hitting ESC inside Color Selector would quit Processing

+ To fix video, and some other libraries on Snow Leopard, exported applications
are now explicitly set to run 32-bit on OS X.

+ Fix LITERAL_class so that blah.class syntax can be used in PDE code.
Found and fixed by Christian Thiemann. Thank you!

+ Fix from Chris Lonnen to lock the minimum size for the main processing editor
frame. (When too small, the console would disappear, etc.) Thanks Chris!

+ If you overwrite PApplet.main(), you're responsible for what happens.

[ keys ]

+ Added ctrl-ins, shift-ins, shift-delete for cut/copy/paste on Windows and
Linux, but disabled by default on Mac OS X. You can change the setting by
altering "editor.keys.alternative_cut_copy_paste" in preferences.txt.

+ Changed shift-backspace to just mean backspace, rather than delete. You
can change back to the old behavior by setting this entry in preferences.txt:
editor.keys.shift_backspace_is_delete = true

+ Added an option for home and end keys traveling to the start/end of the
current line rather than the beginning/ending of a sketch. The latter is
the HIG default for Mac OS X, but drives some people nuts. Change with:
editor.keys.home_and_end_travel_far = false

[ fonts ]

+ Starting in this release, the createFont() method will only load characters
as they are used, which should greatly improve the font situation on
non-Roman systems like Japanese. This will use far less memory, and should
be all around much more efficient. Formerly, createFont() took several
seconds to run, depending on the speed of your system.


+ Fixed a problem with the Create Font tool ignoring the 'smooth' setting
on some systems.

+ Fixed a separate problem with the createFont() method also ignoring the
'smooth' setting.

+ With the Create Font tool, you can also specify what Unicode character
blocks you'd like to use, making a much smaller font.

+ Fonts are no longer power of 2 by default. This should also make them more
memory efficient. With future OpenGL updates, this will work even better.

PROCESSING REV 0172 through 0175

These releases are mostly about Android (listed at the top), but also contain
any interim fixes that happened in the meantime.

[ android ]

+ Fix problem with Android HTML dialog box
several <BR> items showing up when first loading

+ Fix problem with windows claiming "does not appear to contain an Android SDK"

+ Implement loadImage() and other loadXxxx() functions

+ Correctly handle space bar, tab, other special keys

+ Fix problem with motion events not coming through

+ "taskdef class com.android.ant.SetupTask cannot be found" on Linux

+ Updates for r4 version of the SDK.

[ changes ]

+ In the editor toolbar, shift-new and shift-open on the toolbar open a
new window. Also, when shift is down, change text of the toolbar item
to represent what it does.

+ Replaced com.apple.eawt.Application invocation to deal with deprecation.
This may cause problems with older releases (or on 10.4 or 10.5), not sure.

+ Use xdg-open as launcher on linux

+ Default wildcard imports are causing naming conflicts, changed how
they're set up in the preferences file.


+ Changed createInputRaw() to only bother checking URLs if : present

[ bug fixes ]

+ Re-enabled hack for temporary clipping. Clipping still needs to be
implemented properly, however. Please help!

+ SVG paths that use 'e' (exponent) not handled properly

+ Change build scripts to use UTF-8 for encoding with javac

+ Fix ant.jar/ant-launcher.jar error in the windows/linux build scripts

+ Fixed a problem where imports inside comments were being included.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

PROCESSING 1.0.9 (REV 0171) - 20 October 2009

Happy birthday to Casey!

[ bug fixes ]

+ Removed NPOT texture support until further testing, because it was
resulting in blurring images in OPENGL sketches.

+ Complete the excision of the Apple menu bug code.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

PROCESSING 1.0.8 (REV 0170) - 18 October 2009

A bonfire of bug fixes.

[ environment ]

+ Fix bug causing preferences to not save correctly.

+ Remove menu dimming code, in-frame menu bar, and warning message on OS X.
A year later, Apple fixed the spinning wheel w/ the menu bar problem.


+ Fix "Unrecognized option: -d32" on OS X 10.4

+ Update the outdated "Get the latest Java Plug-in here" in exported applets.

+ Use temporary files when saving files inside the PDE. Prevents problems
when the save goes badly (e.g. disk is full).

+ Fix problem with "Save changes before closing?" was being ignored.

+ Fix problems with adding/deleting tabs.

+ Saving the project with the same name (but different case)
as an existing tab was deleting code on Windows and OS X.

[ core ]

+ filter(RGB) supposed to be filter(OPAQUE)

+ Implement non-power-of-2 textures for OpenGL (on cards where available).
This is a partial fix for texture edge problems:

+ Fix get() when used with save() in OpenGL mode

+ Immediately update projection with OpenGL. In the past, projection
updates required a new frame. This also prevents camera/project from
being reset when the drawing size is changed.

+ Removed an error that caused the cameraNear value to be set to -8.
This may cause other problems with drawing/clipping however.

+ Removed methods from PApplet that use doubles. These were only temporarily
available in SVN, but that's that.

+ Use temporary file with saveStrings(File) and saveBytes(File).

[ updates ]

+ Updated to Minim 2.0.2. (Thanks Damien!)
http://code.compartmental.net/tools/minim

+ Updated Java on Linux and Windows to 6u16.

+ Updated Quaqua to 6.2 on Mac OS X.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

PROCESSING 1.0.7 (REV 0169) - 4 September 2009

Bug fixes and updates, also some tweaks for Mac OS X Snow Leopard.

[ changes ]

+ Tweaks for Mac OS X Snow Leopard, to force it to run in 32-bit mode.
This should bring back the video library (if temporarily), and hopefully
fix serial as well, though I didn't have a serial device handy to test.

+ Fix problem where line highlighting was off in 'static' mode.

+ Auto-format was killing Unicode characters (how did this last so long?)

+ PVector.angleDistance() returning NaN due to precision errors

+ Removed a major try/catch block from PApplet.main(), hopefully
this will allow some exception stuff to come through properly.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

PROCESSING 1.0.6 (REV 0168) - 12 August 2009

Bug fixes and minor changes. Most important are replacement JOGL libraries
so that OpenGL applets won't present an "expired certificate" error.

[ bug fixes ]

+ Replaced the faulty JOGL library that had expired certificates (Sun bug).
https://jogl.dev.java.net/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?
folderID=9260&expandFolder=9260&folderID=0

+ Updated the Linux launcher script that enables Processing to be run
from other directories, symlinks, or from launch items.
Thanks to Ferdinand Kasper for the fix!

+ strokeWeight() was making lines 2x too thick with P2D

+ PImage.getImage() setting the wrong image type

+ image() not working with P2D, P3D, and OPENGL when noFill() used

+ Auto format problem with program deeper then 10 levels

+ Fixed a crash on startup problem (console being null)

+ Recursive subfolder copy of library folders when exporting application


[ changes ]

+ PDF member functions set protected instead of private

+ On OS X, update Info.plist to be 32/64 explicit and also updated
JavaApplicationStub for update 4.

+ Clicking the preferences location in the Preferences window will
now open the parent folder for the preferences file.

+ Update to Java 6 update 15 for the Windows and Linux releases.

[ fixed earlier ]

+ Mangled menu text with Java 6u10.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

PROCESSING 1.0.5 (REV 0167) - 7 June 2009

Bug fix release, mostly dealing with regressions from 1.0.4.

[ bug fixes ]

+ Make the tab key work again inside the editor

+ Deal with duplicate entries for sketchbook in the file menu

[ changes ]

+ Support for smooth text in the PDE editor. Set editor.antialias=true
inside preferences.txt to enable smooth text.

+ Updated reference files.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

PROCESSING 1.0.4 (REV 0166) - 31 May 2009

Bug fix release.

[ changes ]

+ Changed the workaround for Apple's Java bug related to the menus in OS X.
Rather than placing the menubar inside the sketch window, File > Sketchbook
and File > Examples are simply dimmed out. Instead, use the Open button
on the toolbar, which provides access to the same items. The preference

to place the menu bar inside the window is still available, in case you
prefer the previous workaround.

+ Also updated the included runtime on Windows and Linux to Java 6u14.

[ bug fixes ]

+ Fixed IDE crash when changing color scheme on windows

+ Typo in the Linux shell script was preventing it from running

+ OS X finder info on application updated to say 1.0.4

+ Removed warning message "Non-String for 8 value in 'Properties'
sub-dictionary in 'Java' sub-dictionary of Info.plist" on OS X

+ Added warning to build script for users on OS X 10.4

+ Disable point() going to set() from PGraphicsJava2D. The set() command
doesn't honor alpha consistently, and it also causes problems with PDF

+ PImage cacheMap problem when using PImage.get()

+ Fix problems with > 512 points and P3D/OPENGL
Thanks to user DopeShow for the patch

+ imageMode(CENTER) doesn't work properly with P2D

+ Reset matrices when using beginRecord() with PDF

+ Resizing window no longer distorts OpenGL graphics
Many thanks to Pablo Funes for the patch

+ Fix significant point() and set() slowdown on OS X

[ known issues ]

+ Currently no 64-bit support for any platforms. On some platforms, you'll
simply need to replace the Java folder with the distribution with something
more suitable for your operating system.

+ Command line support is currently broken

+ Text of menus/interface elements sometimes mangled (e.g. toolbar repeats
several times, other oddness). See bug report for a workaround

+ Video library threading problems with other libraries

+ See dev.processing.org/bugs for much, much more!

PROCESSING 1.0.3 (REV 0165) - 24 February 2009

Bug fix release to repair a couple of regressions caused by changes in 1.0.2,
as well as a couple other new problems encountered since.

[ bug fixes ]

+ endRecord or endRaw produces a RuntimeException with the PDF library

+ Problem with beginRaw/endRaw and OpenGL

+ Set strokeWeight on points and lines with begin/endRaw

+ Fix strokeWeight quirks with P3D when used with points and lines

+ ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException with point()

[ changes ]

PROCESSING 1.0.1 (REV 0163) - 29 November 2008

Processing 1.0 has arrived! You can read an overview of changes introduced
in the last few months here: http://processing.org/reference/changes.html

Also see the "known issues" section of the troubleshooting page:
http://processing.org/reference/troubleshooting/#known

This release (1.0.1) fixes a handful of issues that only showed up once we
had more testing, particularly with the wider audience we've received in the
past week following the announcement.

[ bug fixes ]

+ ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException with File > New

+ "CallStaticVoidMethod() threw an exception" on some Mac OS X machines

+ "editor.indent" preference setting does not work properly

+ Fixed some "An error occurred while starting the application" problems

+ Added a note about the Minim library to the changes page.

+ Disable parsing of regexps with the split() command

+ Fixed ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException in ellipseImpl().

+ Fixed problem where small ellipses weren't showing up.

[ changes ]

+ Implement multi-line tab via tab key (also outdent)

+ Code with 'import' and a space incorrectly parsed as an import statement

PROCESSING 1.0 (REV 0162) - 24 November 2008

Processing 1.0 has arrived! You can read an overview of changes introduced
in the last few months here: http://processing.org/reference/changes.html

[ known issues ]

+ Sketches that size(w, h, OPENGL) and do not clear the background on each
frame can cause major flickering or problems when the screen clears anyway.
There are several possible solutions:

1. You may need to disable the default 2x smoothing by using
hint(DISABLE_OPENGL_2X_SMOOTH).

2. Update the drivers for your graphics card.

3. Get a decent graphics card -- the OpenGL renderer is for advanced
use, we don't support using it with cheaper built-in graphics hardware
like the Intel GMA 950.

4. If you're running Windows Vista, try disabling the Aero theme.

This flickering issue is being tracked here:

+ "An error occurred while starting the application" when launching
Processing.exe on Windows. This is a high priority however we cannot
reproduce it on any of our test machines, which has delayed a fix.

+ With P2D, P3D, and OPENGL, series of connected lines (such as the stroke
around a polygon, triangle, or ellipse) produce unattractive results when
strokeWeight is set.

+ Unlike most applications, the menu bar is inside the editor window when
Processing is used with Mac OS X 10.5. This is a workaround for an Apple
bug in Java 1.5 and 1.6 on Mac OS X 10.5 that causes the menu bar to be
so excessively slow that the application appears to have crashed.

Please file a bug report with Apple at bugreporter.apple.com if you want
this fixed. The problem has existed since the spring, and we first filed
a bug with them in June, and we have received no indication that it when
it will be fixed, or if it will ever be fixed.

Or if you want to take your chances with the slow menu bar,
you can change the default setting in the Preferences window.

+ Sketches that use the video library plus OpenGL have a problem on some
OS X machines. The workaround is listed in Comment #16 of this bug:
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=882#c16

+ Command line support arrived in a recent release, but is not working yet.

+ OpenGL rendering is more dim/darker in release 0149 and later.
Any help tracking this down would be most appreciated.

+ The first few frames of OpenGL sketches on Windows run slowly.

+ When used with P3D, strokeWeight does not interpolate the Z-coordinates
of the lines, which means that when rotated, these flat lines may
disappear. (Since, uh, lines are, you know, flat.) The OPENGL renderer
setting does not share this problem because it always draws lines
perpendicular to the screen (which we hope to do in a future release).

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

in spite of their historical feel good campiness, i've removed the
notes from earlier releases because this file was getting out of hand.
