-- duplicate/rename replaced with save as - -- curves were broken (didn't draw anything) - now they're not (they draw things) - -- curve() now makes more sense and fits all four points provided - -- using translate() no longer makes lines turn black. ahem. - -- fixed status message color - -- added newline before program code when exporting .java files - -- removed NullPointerException on startup - - -ABOUT REV 0034 - -- fixed the problems with launching applets, implemented frame - around the applet being run, also implemented presentation mode - -- with any luck this one should be a little more stable than some - of these other ones in the 30s series that i keep releasing without - any sensible amount of quality control. - - -ABOUT REV 0033 - -- duplicate and rename now implemented, more (should be all) of - the menus are actually functional. some are hacks (item to - launch proce55ing.net and the reference) but things should be - generally more consistent. - - -ABOUT REV 0032 - -- another major release that irons out issues of export and - the toolbar. a button for a new project is included, and - the toolbar items properly open/load/save entries to/from - the sketchbook. export should be working, as should external - files accessed via getImage/getStream/etc. - - -ABOUT REV 0031 - -- this is a major release, representing several victories. - most important: sketchbook is finally in there. every piece - of work is a 'sketch', a very lightweight project setup. - -- export has not been tested and has a good bit of new code - so that may be problematic. - -- menubar with all available options--note that these relate to - sketchbook, and that the toolbar buttons may not work as well. - use menus/key commands where possible(!) - -- generally more application-like with prompts for the user - for saving changes when closing a sketch or quitting. - editor now keeps track of changes made. window positions and - the last sketch opened are saved. - -- concept of a user name associated with the app, right now - just set to 'default' but in beta will be able to change - the name for workshops and general use. - -- current items in sketchbook (serial/dbn) aren't in correct format, - and won't work if you switch to them - - -ABOUT REV 0030 - -- fix bug where comments were being removed from exported files - -- new 'color' datatype, the following are now valid: - color c = color(23, 45, 99); - color c = #ff00cc; - - -ABOUT REV 0029 - -- actually updated pde.jar, export, pde.properties, BApplet.java - in sketchbook, removed extra dbn.pde from lib (it's in sketchbk) - -- new api: triangle, quad (put rect back too) - -- keyPressed() and mousePressed() events - -- new functions: degrees(), radians() - -- new color tidbits (though color still ints) final solution - for get/set pixel debate - - -ABOUT REV 0028 - -- serial port should work again (win32comm was missing) - -- modified pde.properties slightly for console and header - -- added output console the main interface - -- old-style c++ int(), float(), char(), byte() all work - for casting of datatypes, instead of confusing c syntax - -- size now works in draw() mode - -- fixed annoying findSelection bug spew on startup - -- 0.4f now works, formerly wasn't allowed - -- lots of preprocessor tweaking for exceptional cases - -- jre now in its own subdirectory, separate from 'lib' - - -ABOUT REV 0027 - -- released on the floor of dis2002. welcome to london. - -- editor.buttons.bgcolor was having issues - -- plane is now quad, PLANE is now QUAD - -_ latest iteration of colors and buttons - - -ABOUT REV 0026 - -- fixed the situation where i'm a dork and forgot to - actually update the pde.jar file, which had rendered the - changes in rev 0025 irrelevant - - -ABOUT REV 0025 - -- 'rect' is now 'plane' - -- QUADS are now PLANES, QUAD_STRIP is PLANE_STRIP - -- curve() and bezier() now behave the same way - -- made all ui colors/fonts accessible from pde.properties - -- fixed long font names for the mac release - - -ABOUT REV 0024 - -- lighting was broken, but no longer - -- turned lights off by default - - -ABOUT REV 0023 - -- versions 21 through 23 dealt with getting the beast to work smoothly - for the numer workshop - - -ABOUT REV 0020 - -major release, significant, code-destroying changes - -- largeish handful of api changes (see docs for update) - -- naming of api for BagelImage and others changed to BImage - -- ProcessingApplet is now BApplet - -- doesn't work on the mac due to update problem - -- new user interface (not all features work yet) - -- no longer need to use 'f' with floats - in fact, don't ever use f with floats b/c you'll get an error - - -ABOUT REV 0019 - -noticeable changes: - -- many changes to names of functions in api - -- default background color is gray, size is 100x100 - -internal changes: - -- single color function, colors properly clamped, MemoryImageSource - moved into ProcessingApplet - -- rect() now affected by transforms more properly - -- long list of other tidbits in cvs - - -ABOUT REV 0018 - -bug fix: - -- i broke fonts in the last release. now they work again. my own fault - for trying to improve things. - -feature: - -- projectSize(x, y, z, width, height, depth) is like projectPoint() - but allows you to transform an object shape to screen space and puts - the size into g.projX, g.projY, g.projZ - - -ABOUT REV 0017 - -features and tweaks: - -- setFont() now takes a font size - -- exporting to applets is slightly less buggy - -- hopefully lines are only a single pixel thick when they should be, - in slightly more cases - -- added a 'hint' for smoothing of images and fonts. put - hint(SMOOTH_IMAGES) in your code to enable smoother text and images, - but at the risk of things running more slowly. use - unhint(SMOOTH_IMAGES) to disable. - -- millis is a variable that always contains the number of milliseconds - since your applet started as an int. before it was always zero. use - it wisely. - -- loadImage, loadFont, and getStream are behaving better - -- no longer the random exception in graphics that would cause your - programs to hang due to an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException. haven't - fixed the bug, but it's at least being caught and worked around. - -known issues: - -- if you're using 'extends ProcessingApplet' in your code, you'll have - to use that class name for anything that you export. otherwise incur - the wrath of a bunch of spew at the dos prompt. - -- consistently thin lines are still erratic and not under control - -- the line highlighted for any particular error is often a joke - -- lots of other things, too numerous to list that make me wonder if - this will ever be ready to go - - -ABOUT REV 0016 - -- disabled (by default) the sketchiness from the previous version. so - the commportinuse trouble is back, unless you re-enable the hack - in the pde.properties file and set 'play.external' to true - -- no actual code changes in this version, but just upped the rev - number to avoid confusion - - -ABOUT REV 0015 - -known issues: - -- this version of processing is even more sketchy than many other - ones. but maybe it fix two huge issues, so i'm releasing it - anyways with this caveat. just go back to 14 or another one if this - gives you too much trouble. - - -features and tweaks: - -- includes a strange hack that fixes the CommPortInUseException that - had been so annoying, forcing you to restart processing to run your - apps. the downside is that the fix means that if there's an error in - your app, you have to check the console (the msdos prompt) for the - error line, because it won't get highlighted automatically - -- switch to the IBM's java virtual machine. it seems stabler than the - sun one, and sun's stinks because of that nasty screen flickering - bonanza that starts after you've been running processing for a bit. - - -ABOUT REV 0014 - -features and tweaks: - -- completely flat, unresized images are now significantly faster. this - affects any time that you use image(img, x, y) and you haven't yet - used translate/rotate/scale/etc. - -- thin, one pixel lines are much much faster, provided you aren't - scaling them larger, by say scale(10) or something like that. - -- new version of java compiler (kjc) that hopefully sucks less. - -- bezierCurve() and catmullRomCurve() have reappeared - - -bugs fixed: - -- way too many OutOfMemoryErrors and maybe that nasty flickery/jumpy - thing. - -- 3D calls to vertex() weren't making things 3D unless a translate or - a rotate was used - - -known issues: - -- flickery/jumpy thing after the applet runs for a little while. this - is a bug in sun's java virtual machine (i can't actually program the - pyrotechnics you're seeing on your screen) but may have resurfaced - due to low memory conditions because run.bat was screwed up. so the - problem may be fixed. hopefully. maybe. hmm. - -- i've tweaked a bunch of stuff in this release but haven't had a lot - of time to test. things look like they're doing much better. but as - is the case with any release, you can always go back to a previous - version if the new one gives you too much trouble. - - -ABOUT REV 0013 - -features and tweaks: - -- you can set the background color to be used when your applet is - in full screen mode. in lib/pde.properties change the line - fullscreen.bgcolor=#0080ff - to include whatever color you want. the syntax is the same as web - pages, although you aren't limited to the web palette. - -- screenGrab() functionality! get happy. - add screenGrab() at the end of your loop() function to produce - a series of numbered tiff-format images that can be imported - into a video editing app. or call screenGrab() when the mouse is - pressed to take quick snapshots. - -- colorcube applet is updated to the current release. - it is also now included in the sketchbook/examples directory. - -- for the technically inclined or curious, the source code for - ProcessingApplet is included in the sketchbook/standard directory. - it's not particularly pretty, since it's continually changing, but - can be useful if you're wondering about how things work. - - -bugs fixed: - -- the fix for rev 12 wasn't actually included in rev 12. grr. - this implies 1) i'm an idiot, and 2) rev 11 and 12 are the same. - -- ellipse was drawing opposite the direction of the origin. - -- default program now actually works--replaced colorScale() - -- editor was selecting the wrong line for errors. - - -ABOUT REV 0012 - -this was a simple fix for a big problem... programs that included -'extends ProcessingApplet' didn't work and gave a cryptic error -message. other than that, no new features. - - -ABOUT REV 0011 - -i've changed (broken) enough things in this new release that i'm -writing down a list of changes. your programs may run a little funny -in rev 11, but it's all for the better in the long run. let me know if -you have trouble getting things to work. and of course, keep a copy of -rev 9 around in case things go wrong. - -that said, rev 11 should be a much happier place to work. due to the -harrassment of your classmates, i've completed (simple) font support, -among other things. - -[for those who missed rev 10, it only existed for 15 minutes, because a -bug was found as i was preparing to send it out.] - - - -FONTS are working. a simple example: - -void setup() { - size(300, 300); - setFont(loadFont("fonts/Univers76.vlw.gz")); - fill(200, 200, 00); - background(10, 70, 200); -} - -void loop() { - rect(10, 10, 100, 100); - translate(mouseX, mouseY); - scale(20, 20); - text("I'm a little typeface short and stout", 0, 0); -} - -the 0, 0 part at the end of 'text' is the x, y location to put it. -the scale(20, 20) means 20 point font (fonts are 1 pixel high). -(note that with the scale() in there, the x, y coords for text() will -also be multiplied by 20x.) - -bunch of cheezy fonts are included in a 'fonts' directory. not -sure if i'll include these in the future, but at least it's a start. - - - -IMAGES are working. a simple example: - -BagelImage b; - -void setup() { - size(300, 300); - fill(100); - b = loadImage("max_van_kleek.gif"); -} - -void loop() { - image(b, mouseX, mouseY); -} - -this drags poor max around the screen with the mouse position. the -image should be in the same directory as run.bat. jpeg images can be -used too. - - - -RANDOM() functions, more random than ever - -// get a float between 0 and 40, or [0..40) for math weenies -float a = random(40); - -// get a float between -1 and 1 -float b = random(-1, 1); - -// get an int between 0 and 9 -int c = (int) random(10); - - - -PIXELS... you want them - -pixels[] is an int array that contains all of the image data from the -screen, in ARGB format (packed into ints). play away. - -if you don't know what that means and would like to use the pixel -array directly, let me know. - - - -FIXED WIDTH FONTS - -make-your-own-fixed-width-fonts-in-photoshop are supported. -but i'm not gonna bother documenting them unless someone asks. - - - -ALTERCATIONS - -+ rect(x, y, width, height) instead of rect(x1, y1, x2, y2) - -+ ellipse(x, y, width, height) instead of oval - -+ box(size) instead of cube() - -+ box(width, height, depth) instead of box(x1, y1, z1, x2, y2, z2) - -+ sphere(size) stays the same - -+ image() instead of imageRect() - -+ translate(x, y) in addition to translate(x, y, z) - -+ scale(size) and scale(x, y) in addition to scale(x, y, z) - -+ rotate(angle) rotates by angle in 2D - -+ rotateX, rotateY, rotateZ (angle) each rotate by angle - around their respective axes - -+ transform( .. 16 floats here .. ) if you think you're matrix math - genius and wanna play with your own transformations - - - -LESS ANNOYANCE - -+ no longer write software backwards! new shapes being drawn actually -replace older shapes, even when using flat, 2D surfaces. - -+ no need to use 'extends KjcProcessingApplet' anymore, just use -'extends ProcessingApplet', and processing will figure out whether -the 'Kjc' part is relevant or not. - - - -PROBABLY NEVER NOTICED - -+ colorScale() no longer exists. use colorMode(RGB, ...) - instead, where ... is whatever you would've put inside colorScale() - -+ included run95.bat for people who are using 95/98/ME. you can use - this .bat if run.bat opens a dos window and closes it quickly - without starting processing. just put processing at the base of your - c: drive in a folder called 'processing'.
