ABOUT REV 0136 - 29 May 2008
|
||||
|
||||
This release represents the first of a set of major (internal)
|
||||
changes as we head to release 1.0 at the end of the Summer.
|
||||
This release will not be made the default download, but please test
|
||||
the release for problems on your platform, and file bugs
|
||||
This release will not be made the default download, but please
|
||||
test the release for problems on your platform, and file bugs
|
||||
(dev.processing.org/bugs) when you find them.
|
||||
|
||||
The most significant change in this release is the introduction of
|
||||
a new runner system. This means that we'll be able to make the stop
|
||||
button behave properly, shut down sketches correctly, have better
|
||||
error handling, and eventually add debugger support. On the downside,
|
||||
sketches may start a little more slowly, and it may be a bumpy
|
||||
transition as we get things working (strange errors when you hit Run).

+ New Runner
|
||||
The most significant change in this release is the introduction
|
||||
of a new runner system. This means that we'll be able to make the
|
||||
stop button behave properly, shut down sketches correctly, have
|
||||
better error handling, and eventually add debugger support.
|
||||
On the downside, sketches may start a little more slowly, and it
|
||||
may be a bumpy transition as we get things working (strange errors
|
||||
when you hit Run).
|
||||
|
||||
+ Switching to Java 1.5
|
||||
We are moving to Java 1.5 as a minimum requirement for running
|
||||
Processing, as well as sketches created with it. This is an
|
||||
attempt at self-preservation as we try to limit the number of
|
||||
platforms that we support. Note, however that we *still do not*
|
||||
support Java 1.5 language extensions (enum, enhanced for loop,
|
||||
generics, etc.) More info about that can be found here:
|
||||
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=598
|
||||
If you find places in the code or reference that refer to Java
|
||||
1.4 support, please let us know via dev.processing.org/bugs.
|
||||
|
||||
+ New XML Library
|
||||
We've switched to NanoXML instead of NanoXML-Lite. This means that
|
||||
the export size of the XML library has changed from ~6k to ~30k.
|
||||
The new version is much better at handling a broader range of XML
|
||||
content. The API should be the same and your code should work
|
||||
without changes (unless you're playing with namespaces, in which
|
||||
case those have to be specified differently).
|
||||
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=757
|
||||
|
||||
+ Changes to how libraries are found
|
||||
Major bug fixing happened in handling the class path issues and
|
||||
dealing with how libraries are loaded. With any luck, this should
|
||||
fix the dreaded aiexport bug. It should also give better results
|
||||
when multiple libraries are installed on the system. However, it
|
||||
may mean that some libraries (or jarfiles) that shouldn't have
|
||||
been working before will now (properly) no longer work.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
[ minor enhancements ]
|
||||
|
||||
+ curveTangent() implemented by Dave Bollinger. (Thank you!)
|
||||
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=715
|
||||
|
||||
+ Added support for quadratic (as opposed to just cubic) curves to
|
||||
the Candy SVG library.
|
||||
|
||||
+ Altered Processing.app on Mac OS X to use the Quartz rendering
|
||||
engine. In OS X 10.5, Apple switched renderers, which made most
|
||||
Processing sketches run considerably slower. Thanks Apple!
|
||||
|
||||
+ Added ctrl-/ to comment a block of code
|
||||
|
||||
+ Minor change to default window dimensions to support the Eee PC
|
||||
|
||||
+ Updated reference and slight reorganization to fix a handful of
|
||||
broken links. Moved the FAQ to the Processing site (no longer
|
||||
included in the download.)
|
||||
|
||||
+ Added a static version of saveStream() that uses a File object.
|
||||
|
||||
+ Add XMLElement (not filename) constructor to SVG lib

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
+ Net library no longer dies unceremoniously on "Connection Refused"
|
||||
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=751
|
||||
|
||||
+ Space after OPENGL param no longer breaks export
|
||||
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=769
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
+ Fixed bug with subset() when no length parameter was specified
|
||||
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=707
|
||||
|
||||
+ Retired the long-standing TIFF in After Effects bug
|
||||
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=153
|
||||
|
||||
+ Fix for bezierTangent() problem from Dave Bollinger (Thanks!)
|
||||
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=710
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
+ Fix bug with splice() and arrays
|
||||
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=734
|
||||
|
||||
+ PImage mask now works after first call
|
||||
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=744
|
||||
|
||||
+ Fix upside-down TGA files
|
||||
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=742
|
||||
|
||||
+ Fix problem with g.smooth always returning false in JAVA2D
|
||||
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=762
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
[ known new problems ]
|
||||
|
||||
+ With the new runner setup, sketches sometimes won't start every
|
||||
~10th time or so (this will vary depending on your machine).
|
||||
Hitting Run again should make things start up.
|
||||
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=775
|
||||
This may actually be a problem with Mac OS X sometimes not
|
||||
launching Java. More recent Java releases for Mac OS X have
|
||||
become less stable. If you see this on Windows, please let us
|
||||
know at the bug report.
