ABOUT REV 0057 - 5 august 2003
|

|
||||
|
||||
[ additions ]
|
||||
|
||||
- an all-new compiler (jikes) has been wired in by dan mosedale. this
|
||||
is super exciting, because of all the compiler trouble we've had in
|
||||
the past. thanks to ivrea for providing funding for dan.
|
||||
|
||||
- a scrolling, selectable console has been implemented by dan
|
||||
haskovec, another of our ivrea-funded hackers.
|
||||
|
||||
- context menu cut/copy/paste (right-click in the text area) also
|
||||
implemented by dan h.
|
||||
|
||||
- saveBytes and saveStrings now implemented (and documented in the
|
||||
reference)
|
||||
|
||||
- curveMode(int segments) and bezierMode(int segments) now
|
||||
implemented. these control the number of line segments used to draw
|
||||
a curve. the default has always been 20, but you now have the option
|
||||
to set it higher or lower.
|
||||
|
||||
- there's also curveMode(int segments, float squishy) determines the
|
||||
squishiness when drawing catmull-rom curves. normally this is set to
|
||||
zero, but setting different values will produce more bubbley curves
|
||||
that don't necessarily connect all the points.
|
||||
|
||||
- a new function has been added to calculate points along a bezier
|
||||
curve, rather than just drawing it. so for the old function:
|
||||
bezier(x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3, x4, y4);
|
||||
if you wanted to draw 10 segments along it:
|
||||
|
||||
beginShape(LINE_STRIP);
|
||||
for (int i = 0; i <= 10; i++) {
|
||||
float t = i / 10.0; // t should go from 0..1 along the curve
|
||||
float x = bezier(x1, x2, x3, x4, t); // get the x coordinate
|
||||
float y = bezier(y1, y2, y3, y4, t); // get the y coordinate
|
||||
vertex(x, y);
|
||||
}
|
||||
endShape();
|
||||
|
||||
this was also asked for/inquired about in the following bboard posts:

|
||||
|
||||
the same syntax also works for curve() in addition to bezier().
|
||||
|
||||
- functions have been added to set the cursor, based on code
|
||||
contributed by amit pitaru (thanks amit!) usage is in the reference.

|
||||
[ updates ]
|
||||
|
||||
- 'export' now exports and links the .pde file instead of the .java
|
||||
file, and links that from the web page that is produced
|
||||
http://proce55ing.net/discourse/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=Proce55ing_Software;action=display;num=1046250912
|
||||
|
||||
- sound actually stops when the 'stop' button is hit.
|
||||
|
||||
- video, net, and sound all work more than once, no longer requiring
|
||||
you to quit processing to run a video/net/sound example again.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
- syntax and examples for video have been sorted out.
|
||||
|
||||
- modified millis() to always return useful values
|
||||
http://proce55ing.net/discourse/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=Proce55ing_Software;action=display;num=1058465635
|
||||
|
||||
- last-used serial port is saved when quitting the environment
|
||||
|
||||
- changed more things from "Proce55ing" to "Processing", since the
|
||||
other naming was confusing lots of people. let us know if there are
|
||||
parts we've missed.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
[ bug fixes ]
|
||||
|
||||
- long bezier curves are finally fixed
|
||||
|
||||
- got rid of a semi-frequent ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException when
|
||||
smooth() was enabled and images were involved
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
[ known issues / bugs ]
|
||||
|
||||
- 'export to application' remains unimplemented, though it's closer,
|
||||
and should be ready in 58 or 59.
|
||||
|
||||
- 'preferences' will get better in a future release
|
||||
|
||||
- the noise() functions were added, but don't yet work, they'll be
|
||||
fixed for 58.
|
||||
|
||||
- macosx hangs randomly, though not consistently enough to figure out
|
||||
what's going on.
|
||||
|
||||
- on some machines, presentation mode seems to have become unusable,
|
||||
this will be fixed in 58.
|
||||
|
||||
- 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 screenGrab() or saveBytes() or some of those things will cause
|
||||
trouble inside applets. in 58, we'll try to do better error trapping
|
||||
so that your applet doesn't crash when this happens.

||||
|
||||
|
||||
[ windows ]
|
||||
|
||||
- windows uses java 1.4.2. in general, this is better, except for
|
||||
problems with generating some kinds of audio. if you're having audio
|
||||
trouble, then install java 1.4.1, and remove the 'java' folder from
|
||||
the processing distribution to use it.
|
||||
|
||||
- differences between the 'expert' and normal releases for windows
|
||||
have been minimized significantly. as long as you have a jvm
|
||||
installed (1.4 strongly preferred), you may as well use the expert
|
||||
version.
|
||||
|
||||
- serial port has been improved, and requires no additional
|
||||
installation steps, even for the 'exper't release.
|
||||
|
||||
- slightly better processing.exe for windows
|
||||
|
||||
- background of menus is no longer white, apparently it was a jvm
|
||||
problem, and it's fixed in 1.4.2.

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
[ mac os x ]
|
||||
|
||||
- macosx updated to use java 1.4. similar to the pc, this is better
|
||||
but not always. if you're having trouble, check the instructions in
|
||||
readme.txt to see switch it back to 1.3 (which was the default for
|
||||
the previous release)
|
||||
|
||||
- reference loading and opening the p5 site finally works
|
||||
|
||||
- fixed the menus to make them more mac-like. added help menu, removed
|
||||
the extra 'quit' menu from 'file', etc.
|
||||
|
||||
- the serial port has been ironed out, and requires no longer requires
|
||||
additional installation, although you do need to double-click the
|
||||
serial_setup.command script to set up some permissions (unless
|
||||
you've installed rxtx 2.1_6 already.. if you don't know what that
|
||||
means, run the script). more information in readme.txt. thanks to
|
||||
tom igoe for input and heckling to get this to work.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
[ mac os 9 ]
|
||||
|
||||
- macos9 support is in the freezer until after beta. we still want to
|
||||
support macos9, but it was taking too much of our time as we're on a
|
||||
strict september deadline for the beta release.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
[ phew ]
|
||||
|
||||
- that's a lotta stuff
