X new versions of java for windows and linux: 1.4.2_07
X update faq on site? what's difference between versions?
X no difference between versions... should it be cvs based?
X linux is missing all libraries except for javascript
_ added again, but check the distribution to make sure they're working
X http://processing.org/discourse/yabb_beta/YaBB.cgi?board=Tools;action=display;num=1114325419;start=1
X preferences - second line of prefs (the file path) is smashing things
X righthand max isn't being updated for that second line
X or it's getting written over by the line below it
X http://processing.org/discourse/yabb_beta/YaBB.cgi?board=SoftwareBugs;action=display;num=1113932608
X include platform information when checking for updates
X send over the int as long hex number?
X 64 bits hex is gonna be 16 digits.. much cleaner
o when people are running 1.5, warn them?
o if p5 is running 1.5, let them know to use the standard install
o check to see if when running externally, will be using a 1.5 vm
X nah, this seems like overkill.. problems haven't been *that* bad (yet)
X make sure that when running ext, using the local java
_ get these two todo lists into their bugzilla categories
_ make simple tool for casey to rebuild all the examples at once
_ need to rebuild with this release because of 1.3/1.4 issues
_ macosx 10.2 needs libiconv to run jikes
_ http://processing.org/discourse/yabb_beta/YaBB.cgi?board=SoftwareBugs;action=display;num=1114113204;start=0
_ http://processing.org/discourse/yabb_beta/YaBB.cgi?board=SoftwareBugs;action=display;num=1114381302;start=0
_ either compile jikes not to use it:
_ http://jikes.sourceforge.net/faq/dev-win32.shtml
_ or maybe include an installer:
_ http://www.bluem.net/downloads/libiconv_en/
_ gnu page for libiconv
_ http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/
_ on 10.2, the version of jikes from 69 (the cvs build) works fine
_ "are you trying to f-- with me" on quitting the app is super problem
_ "save as" not quite working
http://processing.org/discourse/yabb_beta/YaBB.cgi?board=SoftwareBugs;action=display;num=1113944897;start=0
Performed a "Save As" that didn't quite take. The save action
completed and the main tab was renamed, however the "Save Needed"
notice was displaying. Attempting to do a basic save didn't clear the
notice so I closed Processing and reopened. When I reopened P5 I was
presented with an empty sketch and the renamed sketch wasn't in my
sketch list. I dove into the my sketchbook directory and I found that
a sketch folder was created and named properly. Inside the folder I
found PDEs for all of my tabs except the main tab. Thoughts?
_ more "save as" trouble with removing files
However, this process doesn't work at all with Processing. I hit delete
tabs to ditch the extra stuff and then do a saveAs. And voila, as should
be expected, the deleted tabs are gone from both folders. Makes sense.
I get it. But i wonder if this will catch others off guard.
Not suggesting a change to the way it works... but thoughts on if this
might screw people in the long run?

_ placement of 100x100 items is odd
_ happens with P3D and maybe also P2D?

_ not confirmed to be a bug
Is it possible that saving with the 'save' button doesn't pay
attention to where you point at the project folder from prefs? Jeez,
i phrased that horribly. I opened preferences for Processing and made
the default sketchbook location processing-0079/projects. I then put
all my older projects in that project folder. When i opened up an old
file and made changes, i then hit 'save' and quit. I relaunched v79
and opened the aforementioned file, and none of the changes were
there. but they were in v77 project folder.
_ stop() not working very well
_ doesn't seem to actually be stopping things
_ closing window w/o first hitting stop() causes freak out
_ opengl gives an OutOfMemoryError
_ java2d just goes into a lock
_ could also be code that's in an infinite loop (i.e. text error)
_ which then causes a full lock
_ something really bad happened with println() in this release
_ perhaps only without a code folder and/or running in java2d mode?
_ this may also be what's hosing
Not sure what triggers it, possibly scrolling with mousewheel?, but
sometimes Processing output window gets stuck thinking it should
scroll to the top, so if you have an output larger than the allowable
space, it will show you the last line, but then pops the scrollbar
back to the top. I think the only way to stop it is to quit out of
processing and relaunch.
_ saveFrame() directly to quicktime via port of DbnRecorder
_ do this after beta, not likely to work with java 1.4 on macosx
_ saved window positions.. if displays has changed, becomes a problem
_ record the display that it was on?
_ GraphicsDevice gd = frame.getGraphicsConfiguration().getDevice();
_ make sure that the applet is within the bounds of the current display?
_ (from 0, 0 to width, height)
_ make note that changing screen config requires restart of processing
_ static { checkScreens(); }
_ static void PApplet.checkScreens() { }
_ to run explicitly later
_ this seems too complicated.. just make people restart
_ more javadoc for the stuff inside processing.app
_ runtime exceptions have stopped coming through (on pc only?)
_ that they don't show up in the error bar
_ npe is a runtimeex, so any npe in setup comes up weird
_ maybe the renderer exception is something different? newrendex?
_ why is gl being added on export, no matter what? or is it?
_ applet folder not really being emptied on export
_ so old libs will just perpetuate themselves
_ external apps don't stop at all when 'stop' is hit
_ worker thread is halting the app ala code folder bug
_ could this be dealt with by using nio?
_ host environment will be running 1.4 so...
_ moving an external window around a lot will halt the parent
_ does move even need to be called? could just wait till stop?
_ PdeMessageSiphon has problems with message()
_ external apps also seem to not do newlines properly on exceptions
_ appendText launches a new thread for every blip of text
_ this is totally wrong and really horks things
_ split Preferences and PreferencesFrame ?
_ lock the minimum size for the main processing editor frame
_ if it's made too small, stuff from the bottom disappears
_ properly handle ENTER, Ctrl-W and ESC on all dialogs
_ there must be a proper "swing" way of doing this that doesn't
_ involve adding key listeners to every friggin component
_ ESC should fake a cancel button press
_ ENTER should do the default option
_ (might be a matter of setting the default action for the window?)
_ when running as external applet, hide the editor text area
_ drag & drop implementation to add files to sketch
_ remove jvm from cvs
_ use wget to grab it if it doesn't exist
_ and include an md5hash to see if the file is correct
_ straighten out int() -> toInt() conversion in the preproc
_ move build scripts to something better like ant
_ too much to maintain the multiple versions, no dependencies, too much code
_ some type of sketch archive format for posting examples (.psk?)
_ would be nice to open a sketch directly from a zip file
camera
_ tearing and incomplete updates on camera?
_ http://processing.org/discourse/yabb_beta/YaBB.cgi?board=VideoCamera;action=display;num=1114628335;start=0
_ pause and framerate aren't working
_ video wrong device name crashes things
_ when passing in 'null' as the camera, dialog pops up fine
_ but the applet craps out after a few seconds (pinwheel spin)
_ couldn't get req'd component also happens when the camera isn't ready
_ may also mean that no camera is plugged in
_ also, don't mention winvdig on the mac
_ if user cancels prompt, throws a '-128,userCanceledErr'
_ in which case, need to return null (or ""?) for the prompt
_ which will also just give you the last camera
_ should it be new Camera(PROMPT);
_ error messages from quicktime not coming through very well
check these errors to see if they still exist
_ odd error in System.err stream coming from running external
_ dies after a while or goes weird
_ make sure exceptions with .class work
_ openStream returning 'null' really horked up the letters applet
_ no System.out was coming through
_ System.err was getting cut off before finishing
_ add prompt() method to Serial (simple dialog box that pops up)
_ subfolders in the 'data' directory don't work
_ don't allow goofy case versions of reserved words
_ keypressed should maybe throw an error
_ mouse wheel broken in the text editor? (windows jdk 1.5?)

PROBLEMS FOR NEW USERS
_ making it easier to draw shapes
_ missing semicolons - better error message
_ missing brackets, unmatched brackets
_ "unexpected token void" -> "You're mixing dynamic and static mode"
_ forgetting the quotes around strings
_ separate reference for /dev version
_ loadImage() mixed case problems
_ loadImage() using spaces in the name
_ if loadImage() when online(), throw an error
_ files not in the data folder (works in env, not in sketch)
_ angleMode(DEGREES) -> mistyped keywords, caps being wrong
_ NullPointerException on unterminated comment at end of code
_ (and OutOfMemoryError and weird lockup)
_ not enough args for triangle (or args in general)
_ throws out bizarre message
_ document for new users:
_ what's a NullPointerException
_ use of strings
_ println() for debugging
TALK TO CASEY ABOUT...
o no transformations before background() is called
o implementation specific, may cause trouble
o must call depth() for 3D applications
_ lights cannot be enabled/disabled throughout
_ lighting will be based on what's left at endFrame()
X images should be a power of 2, or call modified()
X document the use of "die"
X can override the method to do your own handling
X sketches no longer require a "data" folder
X example that uses loop/noLoop, or redraw?
_ talk to creas about making html files for bugs, readme, revisions.
_ or how they should relate to the 'faq'.. readme -> faq?
_ make a sketch that shows loading from the web
_ make another sketch that shows loading from a file
_ make notes about preproc
_ move the readme stuff for each file into the files themselves
_ also put a general rundown of the preproc into Preprocessor.java
_ subclasses need to use "public void keyPressed" not "void keyPressed"
_ write a threading example
X or handle this some more intelligent way, super.stop() is needed.
X registerDispose() does the trick

_ appears to use 1.6.8 version since it's just two classes
_ different name for 'lib' folder because of libraries folder?
_ avoid some confusion for when describing the libraries folder to users
_ implement new version of history
_ make history folder, and a zip (not gz) file for each entry
_ history causing trouble - super slow with a huge sketch
_ could instead be gzipped and appended to history.dat
_ along with another file that is actually a table of offsets
_ no need to make the thing a gzip stream
_ checkbox on menu for 'record history' ?
_ history converter option?
_ only first 20 entries visible?

_ only available after export (or when an applet dir exists)
_ warn user that applet html will be over-written

1 _ float u = float(x)/width; works.
1 _ float u = (float(x)/width); doesn't work: "unexpected token: float".
1 _ float u = (x/float(width)); works!

1 _ http://processing.org/discourse/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=Proce55ing_software_bugs;action=display;num=1076358432;start=0
1 _ font encoding issues
1 _ java seems to force straight windows encoding.. (problem for pi fonts)
1 _ opentype/cff fonts don't work with live loading from the app
1 _ many (all?) opentype fonts won't show up or aren't supported
1 _ this may be only cff fonts that have trouble
1 _ when encoding with something besides the standard encoding, problematic
1 _ so sonata otf and sonata don't seem to have any chars at all
1 _ available font issues
1 _ is getFontList returning a different set of fonts from device2d?
1 _ try it out on java 1.3 versus 1.4
1 _ getAllFonts() not quite working for many fonts
1 _ i.e. Orator Std on windows.. macosx seems to be ok
1 _ is getFamilyNames() any different/better?
1 _ when did this break? 1.4.1? 1.4.x vs 1.3?
1 _ may be that cff fonts won't work?
1 _ or is it only those with ps names?
1 _ create font with user-specified charsets
PDE / Editor Status
1 _ error messages run off the edge and go invisible
1 _ http://processing.org/discourse/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=Proce55ing_software_bugs;action=display;num=1074894329
1 _ multi-line errors a mess in jikes
1 _ maybe a dropdown list thing, with the first just shown?
1 _ move to modal dialog showError/Message/Warning/Prompt design
1 _ nicely design dialog boxes to go with visual of p5
1 _ maybe something that shows stack trace?
1 _ with an 'email this' button? (include source code too?)
1 _ also need a "prompt" dialog for asking filenames, etc
1 _ implement and remove PdeEditorStatus stuff

DISTRIBUTION
How the environment gets packed up, downloaded, and installed.
DISTRIBUTION / General
1 _ need .pde document icons
1 _ need .psk file icon
1 _ need exported application icons
b _ also out of cvs
b _ check for necessary tools to be installed
b _ zip, unzip, jikes, etc
b _ need to change all the copyrights over to mit "except where noted"
b _ need more comprehensive list of 'known bugs'
b _ need more comprehensive list of 'known suggestions'
b _ javadoc "advanced" reference by beta
b _ and then finalizing it towards 1.0
b _ document hint() commands for advanced reference
b _ beta release will include source code
b _ write notes about running p5 on another platforms
b _ this was some feedback from running on bsd:
b _ /usr/local/jdk1.3.1/bin/java -cp lib:lib/build:lib/pde.jar:lib/kjc.jar:lib/oro.jar:java/lib/ext/comm.jar PdeBase
b _ need to use the 1.3 vm, and get a fake platform name
b _ otherwise, goes looking for lib/pde_.properties or something
1 _ if size() not found in export/compile, ask the user
1 _ size(myWidth, myHeight) -> set static var in BGraphics
1 _ for the last size that was used, use as default for fill-in field
1 o modify antlr stuff to conditionally recompile in make.sh
1 _ compile antlr inside the initial setup of the work dir
1 X done for macosx
1 _ fix this for windows and linux
1 _ about box

1 _ CLASSPATH figured out what to do with quotes, but not PATH
DISTRIBUTION / Windows
1 _ tie .pde files as documents of the application
1 _ http://processing.org/discourse/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=Proce55ing_Software;action=display;num=1094149466
1 _ figure out proper registry key for windows
1 _ can be handled when the app first run (jni?)
1 _ write handler for main() to take document names
1 _ properly handle non-ascii chars in p5 folder name
1 _ or at least warn the user to install somehwere else
1 _ track down the cause of the processing.exe not starting bugs

DISTRIBUTION / Mac OS X
1 _ fix find/replace focus issue on osx
1 _ give that field focus explicitly, rather than just for typing
1 _ right now, typing works, but no caret, no blue highlight
1 _ and on second find run, should instead select all the find string
1 _ so that typing will replace it directly
b _ set nice background for disk image on macosx
1 _ test more to see if runtime exceptions are coming through
1 _ track down error in PdeCompiler for message parsing
1 _ was missing the error about a package being gone
1 _ can comment out /System/Library/ as a test
1 _ Contents/Resources/Java can take jnilib files
1 _ set file type/creator for .pde files of examples
1 _ would be nice to have macosx packaged up as a single .app file
1 _ is there a way to set the color of the Frame growbox?
1 _ currently it's white instead of dark gray like the ui
1 _ setBackground(Color) didn't seem to help inside PdeBase.<init>
1 _ use disk:// notation as panther alternative
1 _ so that it doesn't download the disk, just mounts it
1 _ although.. this only works on panther.. how many are using it?
1 _ mac standard key combinations for moving around in the editor
