|
||||
and a few API changes for cleanup that happened as we worked on the
|
||||
Processing book and the forthcoming "Visualizing Data" book.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
[ ide changes ]
|
||||
|
||||
+ Regular new/open/close/save/saveas model for files. Menus have been
|
||||
moved around a bit, and Examples and Sketchbook now have their own
|
||||
section under the File menu.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
[ api changes ]
|
||||
|
||||
+ Added getChild(name/path), getChildren(name/path) to the XML library.
|
||||
These allow you to grab sub-elements of a particular XMLElement by
|
||||
their name instead of by their index. You can also specify a path
|
||||
to a particular element (a series of XML element names separated by
|
||||
slashes) so that you can grab an item several levels deep. The
|
||||
getChild() method grabs the first matching name, the getChildren()
|
||||
method returns an array of XMLElement objects. For the XML heads out
|
||||
there, think of it as a poor man's XPath. A very poor man. Proper
|
||||
documentation forthcoming in a future release.
|
||||
|
||||
+ Added MIN_FLOAT, MAX_FLOAT, MIN_INT, and MAX_INT as built-in
|
||||
variables. Syntax highlighting and proper documentation coming later.
|
||||
|
||||
+ Added unregisterXxxxx() methods for libraries, thanks to ewjordan.
|
||||
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=312
|
||||
|
||||
+ Files with .gz extension (when opening or saving) will be automatically
|
||||
gzip uncompressed (or compressed). That means loadStrings("blah.txt.gz")
|
||||
will magically decompress without any additional help. And that
|
||||
saveStrings("blah.txt.gz", data) will compress while saving. This works
|
||||
for all API functions. To use the old openStream() method, and avoid
|
||||
the GZ business, use openStreamRaw().
|
||||
|
||||
+ Disable mipmapping to fix memory leaking problem with OpenGL.
|
||||
Bug #150 was fixed, then resurrected in the same release cycle.
|
||||
A better solution (that doesn't leak memory) is coming soon.
|
||||
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=610
|
||||
|
||||
+ Added a match() method. This is a very simple way to use regular
|
||||
expressions (regexp) in your code. Calling match(data, regexp)
|
||||
will return an array of any matched items (things in parens in
|
||||
the regexp). If you aren't familiar with regular expressions,
|
||||
this will make sense once the documentation for it has properly
|
||||
been added. This requires Java 1.4, see the "status" section below.
|
||||
|
||||
+ The sort() method that takes String[] arrays now ignores case,
|
||||
which is usually the desired behavior when sorting strings.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
[ bug fixes, additions, improvements ]
|
||||
|
||||
+ Repaired a problem with library export that cause export to break
|
||||
in recent releases.
|
||||
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=625
|
||||
|
||||
+ Fixed readStringUntil() in the net library.
|
||||
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=606
|
||||
|
||||
+ Added proper icon image for Find, Preferences, and other windows.
|
||||
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=627
|
||||
|
||||
+ Fixed problem with ctrl-, typing a comma in the editor on Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
+ Fix drag & drop on Linux. This also has led to Java 1.5 being included
|
||||
with the Linux download, because D&D in Java 1.4 was badly broken.
|
||||
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=595
|
||||
|
||||
+ Implement "Show Sketch Folder" and open() for Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
+ Ask user for confirmation when replacing files with Sketch -> Add File.
|
||||
|
||||
+ Show confirmation in console when Sketch -> Add File succeeds.
|
||||
|
||||
+ Mac OS X now has the standard "window modified" indicator (a dot
|
||||
inside the close box) that indicates that changes are unsaved.
|
||||
|
||||
+ Improve the speed of the sketchbook menu rebuilding. In most
|
||||
situations, the menu will be rebuilt asynchronously (so that it does
|
||||
not hold up the rest of the program).
|
||||
|
||||
+ Fix problem with the version of str() that takes arrays.
|
||||

|

+ Also FYI... We're giving up on Java releases earlier than 1.4.
|
||||
We don't have the means to test for them, and we're simply better
|

off targeting a larger percentage of users given our resources.
|

Processing has evolved a lot from its early days as a fast

Java 1.1 graphics library, where we need to simplify things for

ourselves by relying on Java 1.4 support across the board.
