* Revision 1278 – 14 January 2022*
We've moved to Java 17, fixed lots of bugs, added a new default color scheme, and implemented better support for multiple windows with OpenGL.

We even updated the loading screen to include 2022.
The new color scheme is a placeholder, just like the last one: we've done major work in this release to make it possible to customize the UI in Processing, and we have some exciting updates on that to share in future releases. For this round, we just wanted some neutral defaults.

* Fix a problem where the default font would misbehave after `textSize()` was called. Turns out the problem was that the wrong font was being used in the first place. But also added a warning for users when unsupported characters are used with the default font.

## Major internal work to support UI themes
* Use UTF-8 for `readString()` and `write()` in net client. Avoids platform-specific behavior; Java 18 also making UTF-8 the default. [#336](https://github.com/processing/processing4/issues/336)
* Now using custom scrollbar widgets in the Editor so that it can better match the rest of the interface.
* Cleaning up the Create Font dialog while tracking down [#278](https://github.com/processing/processing4/issues/278). Removed `Serif`, `SansSerif`, `Monospaced`, `Dialog`, `DialogInput` from Create Font. Also sorting the list of font names, and skipping fonts that start with `.` or `#` because they're supposed to be hidden from users.
* Auto-generating toolbar and tab icons from SVG files based on theme colors.
* Implement automatic update for changes to `theme.txt` in the sketchbook.
* More documentation about all of this soon.
