 PROCESSING 3.0b6 (REV 0244) - 11 September 2015

-With the P2D and P3D renderers, a generic set of cursors are used because the OpenGL renderer doesn't have access to the default cursor images for each platform.
+And I beheld when he had opened the sixth beta, and, lo, there was 
+a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, 
+and the moon became as blood.
+
+Aside from bug fixes, the FX2D renderer has received a lot of attention. 
+On the plus side, it's working really well. On the minus side, we're giving
+up on making it the default for 3.0. The underlying JavaFX technology it uses
+is just not ready for our use. It is, however, super fast and makes great
+looking 2D sketches on retina devices. But it can be a little balky so we
+don't want it to be the first experience that beginners have with Processing.
+Especially if you're doing 2D on a retina Mac, you should definitely try FX2D. 
+We're at the limit of what we can do performance-wise with the default 
+(JAVA2D) renderer, so if you're having performance problems, try FX2D.

+ Deal with ConcurrentModificationException in Editor 
+  "Error repainting line range" and ConcurrentModificationException 
+  https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/3726
+
+ Major surgery performed to drastically reduce the memory footprint
+  and startup time for individual editor windows.
+
+ Remove old versions of processing-java when installing on OS X

+ Fixed a couple hard crashes back in alpha 10:
+  EXC_BAD_ACCESS inside AppleIntelHD5000GraphicsGLDriver when starting 3.0a8+
+  https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/3359
+  Hard crash on startup inside strlen call when using 3.0a8+ on OS X
+  https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/3360
+  Though the workaround re-introduces issues that had been fixed earlier:
+  https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/3790
