ABOUT REV 0059 - 31 august 2003
this is mostly a bug fix release. expect multiple releases in the next
few days as we head towards beta.
[ bug fixes ]
- no more "Class not found" errors when trying to use an exported
applet. fixed a supernasty bug that made applets incompatible with
older versions of java, like the one that everyone uses with
internet explorer (microsoft's java vm).

- this rev does a better job of finding quicktime for java than the
last release. quicktime for java search path is not as fragile as it
was, instead is uses the environment variable QTJAVA, which is set
by the quicktime for java installer, should point to a valid
QTJava.zip. if not, you'll get an error message asking you to
install/reinstall quicktime.

- fixed a hair-pulling bugger where spaces and underscores became a
mess when trying to save or rename a sketch.

- fonts no longer get goofy if imageMode() has been used

[ additions ]
- beginSerial(String port) and beginSerial(String port, int rate)
since these are used far more commonly than setting the parity and
stop bits. from the suggetsions board:

[ known issues / bugs / if only i had time... ]
- "find in reference" and the reference menu items don't seem to be
working on some machines. if we can figure out why it works on some
machines and not on others, we'd like to repair this before beta.
- 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.
- 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.
- expect lots of 'cannot delete somefilename...' messages in red that
appear when you hit play or stop. these are mostly cosmetic, and
will be cleaned up in a future release.
- 'export to application' remains unimplemented, though it's closer,
and should be ready before beta.
- 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.
- 'preferences' will get better in a future release
- the noise() functions were added, but don't yet work, they'll be
fixed soon.
- presentation mode is flickery and unusable, this will be fixed soon.
- 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. we'll try to do better error trapping soon
so that your applet doesn't crash when this happens.
