KNOWN BUGS FOR THE MOST RECENT RELEASE
|
||||
|
||||
this was moved out of the release notes since it's getting too long,
|
||||
and since only a handful of things change between releases
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
..................................................................

||||
|
||||
|
||||
COMMON PROBLEMS (NOT BUGS)
|
||||
things that are often perceived as bugs, which means maybe they'll be
|
||||
changed in the future, but for now, they're not actually 'broken'.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
- names of sketches cannot start with a number, or have spaces
|
||||
inside. this is mostly because of a restriction on the naming of
|
||||
java classes. i suppose if lots of people find this upsetting, we
|
||||
could add some extra code to unhinge the resulting class name from
|
||||
the sketch name, but it adds complexity, and complexity == bugs. :)
|
||||
|
||||
- 'export to application' remains unimplemented, though it's closer,
|
||||
and should be ready before beta.
|
||||
|
||||
- 'preferences' will get better in a future release
|
||||
|
||||
- quicktime for java is still required on windows. it's required on
|
||||
macosx too, but it's installed there by default. the requirement
|
||||
will be removed in a later release for people who don't want to use
|
||||
video, but the fix is more difficult than anticipated, so it will
|
||||
probably happen after the initial beta release.
|
||||

KNOWN BUGS
|
||||
the real deal, keeping us awake at night
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
- clipping planes are not yet implemented. meaning that objects may
|
||||
sometimes fly into the camera and turn upside down or do other tricks.

|
||||
|
||||
- concave polygons still don't work, meaning that lots of irregular
|
||||
polygons won't draw properly.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
- a lot of println() commands will make the environment really slow or
|
||||
even lock up completely. it's because the console can't keep
|
||||
up. we're working on a fix.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
- macosx doesn't provide an option to 'cancel' when it so politely asks
|
||||
if you want to "save changes before quitting?". this is because of
|
||||
weirdness in apple's java that we're trying to straighten out.
|
||||
|
||||
- lines with stroke weights that aren't 1 are probably broken.
|
||||
|
||||
- single pixel lines still have some problems with drawing over things.
|
||||
|
||||
- the size of exported applets has jumped in this release. this will
|
||||
get smaller again in a future release. we're in the middle of
|
||||
transitioning between two different sets of rendering/graphics code.
|
||||
|
||||
- curveTangent() is not yet implemented. contributions welcome.
|
||||
|
||||
- strokeMiter() and strokeJoin() exist but are not implemented.
|
||||
|
||||
- textures warp in strange ways due to perspective problems.

||||

|
||||
|
||||
- smooth() is not completely implemented. there will be quirks in how
|
||||
it draws (like a weird flat line at the end of a shape, or areas
|
||||
that are less than smooth).
|
||||
|
||||
- on windows, processing can't be run from a folder that has non-ascii
|
||||
characters in its name.
|
||||
http://proce55ing.net/discourse/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=Proce55ing_software_bugs;action=display;num=1062794781
|
||||
|
||||
- video examples sometimes crash the whole environment on windows
|
||||
|
||||
- jikes is ~9 megabytes in size, which is a bit obnoxious. it doesn't
|
||||
hurt anything but we plan to put it on a diet for a future release.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
- net needs work, it's currently sending unicode, instead of ascii or
|
||||
UTF-8, data. this can cause problems with other programs.
|
||||
|
||||
- run.bat hasn't been given love for a while and may not work. at the
|
||||
very least, you'll need to modify it to find your copy of quicktime
|
||||
for java.
|
||||
|
||||
- sound doesn't always stop when the 'stop' button is hit (i.e. the
|
||||
mixer example seems broken). for now, you have to first quit
|
||||
processing to stop it.
|
||||
|
||||
- the horizontal scroller for the text area has some weirdness, this
|
||||
may not be fixed until after beta, depending on how bad it is.
|
||||
|
||||
- using saveFrame() or saveBytes() or some of those things will cause
|
||||
trouble inside applets. we'll try to do better error trapping soon
|
||||
so that your applet doesn't crash when this happens.

BUGS THAT WE PROBABLY CAN'T FIX
|
||||
these are things that are out of our control
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
- "create font" crashes sometimes on windows, bringing down the whole
|
||||
environment. this seems to be a jdk bug, because it's not a java
|
||||
exception, but a full crash.
