+- the applet placement, sizing, and window issues should now be sorted
+  out completely. no more windows showing up in weird places or applets
+  being offset strangely within them.
+
+- present mode has been rewritten to use java's proper full screen api.
+  no more ghetto full screen with menubar on osx. should be more stable
+  than it was in the past. also note that things running in presentation
+  mode will run using an external java vm, rather than inside the 
+  environment itself.
+
+- processing itself requires java 1.4. it's sort of required it for a 
+  little while, but this is now made explicit in the code. if you're lucky
+  a new erorr dialog will pop up and tell you to install a newer version 
+  if you try running under 1.3 or whatever.
+
+- background(PImage) should now be working in opengl
+
+- saveFrame() path bug fixed
+
+- preferences madness
+  + preferences panel is now a modal dialog, and doesn't hide the 
+    editor window in the weird way it used to. 
+  + you can also click the link to the preferences .txt file and it'll 
+    open in whatever your default text editor is on your machine.
+  + editor font size is now a preference that can be set from the 
+    prefs window.
+  + fixed a bug where prefs were applied even if you hit cancel.

+- lots more internal fixes and tweaking that we'll be documenting 
+  soon (i.e. the new renderer setup means pluggable renderers, or 
+  PApplet has lots of fancy command line options like --present)

+
+* other bits to note *
+
+- it should also be noted again that java 1.1 stuff is almost 
+  completely unusable in this release. the PApplet class temporarily
+  contains some 1.4-specific code (which will be removed) and the
+  graphics engine still doesn't work. so this version isn't useful
+  for exporting things to the web.
+
+- there are a bunch of bugs with save & save as... quirky things 
+  about folders not winding up in the right place and whatnot.

+- release 82 (or 83?) will be all about getting proper 3D lighting,
+  camera, and geometry working. simon's done some amazing work.
