PROCESSING 3.

3 (REV 0257) - 12 February 2017


This release adds the ability to the scale the UI or high-resolution
(known as HiDPI) screens on Windows and Linux. Sketches don't scale yet,
but this will at least make the Editor and Contribution Manager usable
again on more recent Windows and Linux laptops.
Note: the scaling feature is only meant to patch up problems on HiDPI
devices, it does not provide an all-purpose means for scaling UI elements
independent of the OS.
This release also attempts to fix several other Windows bugs, detailed
below. The "unconfirmed" fixes section is a handful of issues that I've
never been able to reproduce, but that should now be fixed. Please
confirm at the links listed to let me know if it's working.
This is release 3.3 instead of 3.2.5 due to the huge change to the PDE
for scaling, as well as minor API modifications (see below).

[ big fixes ]
+ PDE was too small on high-res Windows and Linux machines. If you're
having trouble with this, change the "Interface scaling" option in
the Preferences window. On Windows, it will attempt to auto-detect.
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/2411
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/4183

[ unconfirmed fixes ]
+ Visual artifacts on Windows 10 when using menus
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/4700
+ Broken characters in the Welcome Page and the Contribution Manager
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/4747
+ Add a dialog box to warn Windows users about NVIDIA driver problems
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/4853
+ Blank window on startup where the "Welcome" screen should be
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/3933

[ minor fixes ]
+ Prevent unnecessary 'file not found' errors in the console during Export

[ fixed earlier ]
+ Contribution Manager does not show all libraries until filter cleared
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/4840

[ changes to core ]
+ StringDict(TableRow) constructor to create a dictionary from a table row
+ Allow lone double quotes in the midst of CSV strings. This improves
compatibility with spreadsheets exported from Google Sheets.
+ Return null (rather than NullPointerException) for PApplet.trim(null)
+ Make trim() work on column titles as well
+ Make Table.trim() also remove unused rows and columns. This will remove
extra rows or columns at the beginning as well, since that's what trim()
does to whitespace on strings.
+ Consume Unicode BOM (0xFEFF) in createReader() and Table parser
+ Return null for getString(), getJSONObject(), and getJSONArray()
when key is not present, more in line w/ other API
+ Several fixes for memory leaks from jdf

IntList, FloatList, and StringList). Returns an object of one of those
six types as a JSON-formatted String. For something more like the old
toString() behavior, use print().

Processing from starting up on Windows machines. Network drive issue.
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/4417
https://github.com/processing/processing/pull/4582

PROCESSING 3.1 (REV 0249) - 8 May 2016


Happy Mother's Day! I celebrated by kicking off a Processing release
while my beautiful wife and daughter took a well-deserved nap.
This release includes several bug fixes, while some of your donation dollars
were fed through Jakub Valtar to produce bug fixes and code improvements,

of the community pitched in with several additional fixes to keep this
caravan rolling, and Gottfried brought up the rear with fistfuls of
improvements for Raspberry Pi and ARM support.

PROCESSING 3.0b7 (REV 0245) - 22 September 2015


It's 8:57pm and Jakub and Ben are still holed up at Fathom's studio in Boston.
Ben is wishing he was Jakub's age, as his wrists, neck, and back all feel
like a bag of broken pretzels after several hours/days/weeks/months of coding.
A bleary-eyed Jakub emerges from deep inside the error checker and completion
code, removes his headphones and grunts, "I think it's working."

PROCESSING 3.0b6 (REV 0244) - 11 September 2015


And I beheld when he had released 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.

PROCESSING 3.0b4 (REV 0242) - 17 August 2015


Fixes for several long-standing bugs, plus some internal changes
to make the code slightly more usable by contributors.
For Tool and Mode developers, several functions have moved out of
processing.app.Base and into the Messages and Platform classes.
For instance, Base.isWindows() has moved to Platform.isWindows()
(seems almost logical, right?) We're not keeping deprecated versions
of these functions around since we're breaking other things in 3.0.
Library/Mode/Tool authors, there's a section for you at the end of
this page: https://github.com/processing/processing/wiki/Changes-in-3.0
If there's anything that's not covered properly, please file an issue:
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/new
Meanwhile, Jakub Valtar is holed up at Fathom in Boston, fixing all of
the bugs. See "your contributions are funding graphics fixes," below.

Several delicious bug fixes to repair things that cropped up in the first
beta release. Please keep the reports & code coming and help us get to 3.0.

[ bug fixes ]
+ "Add Library..." fails with "Could not write to temporary directory"
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/3548
+ Make size(displayWidth, displayHeight) still run in a window.
Fixes "fullScreen() cannot be used here" message on startup.
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/3545
In the past we were auto-detecting if it was the screen size,
and switching to full screen mode. But that's now removed because
fullScreen() is so easy, and full screen may not be wanted.
+ Cannot find "processing.core" library. Line 12 in tab sketch_150704a"
also happens with "import to com.jogamp.opengl.GL2"
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/3547

+ Prevent Export with examples and untitled/unsaved sketches
+ Links in error bar are not selectable nor clickable
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/3471

[ internal/development fixes ]

PROCESSING 3.0b1 (REV 0239) - 6 August 2015


This is the big one! The first beta, which will now be the default download
on the site. That means we think this is the best release of Processing that's
currently available, and that nearly everyone should be using it. It doesn't
mean we've worked out all the bugs just yet, but hey, who has?
A still-in-progress rundown of the changes in Processing 3 is here:
https://github.com/processing/processing/wiki/Changes-in-3.0
2.x Modes, Tools, and Libraries will need to be updated for 3.x, so if you're
an author of these, see the notes in the link above. We're also planning some
sort of online Q & A / office hours / talk to Ben about what's changed session
to help folks along. We want to help, we just need to find the time.
And for those into the nitty gritty, or who enjoy lame jokes about esoteric
technical details, the detailed changes since 3.0 alpha 11 are below.

PROCESSING 3.0a11 (REV 0238) - 16 July 2015
Hopefully the last release before we go to beta.

[ new additions ]
+ You'll be greeted by a Welcome screen. We haven't finished the text for
one of these yet, so you'll see some lorem ipsum (fake) text instead.
We'll wrap that up before the beta release.
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/3358

[ breaking all of the things ]


+ For Tool and Mode authors, you'll need to make some (small) changes.
These aren't structural, but will require a rebuild of your code.
Our hope is that this will be the last round of changes for the 3.x
series, and that it's now safe to update your Modes and Tools to be
compatible with the final 3.x release. Changes in this release:
- Several classes have been moved to a new processing.app.ui package.
The processing.app package was much too unwieldy and made it difficult
for people to hack on the PDE code.
- Several functions have moved out of Base and into Util (or Toolkit).
Most of these are file-related (removeDir() and others), but the
Base class had simply grown to a ridiculous size. It remains enormous
but is a little less ridiculous.
+ Removed the init() method from PApplet; it's no longer needed

PROCESSING 3.0a10 (REV 0237) - 9 June 2015


Huge release! Knocking on the door for beta, this includes many changes
and improvements for how displays of all kinds (single, multiple, retina,
high dpi) are handled, plus smoothing, full screen, etc etc.

[ breaking things for the future ]


+ Added fullScreen() method to make it far easier to run sketches
using the full screen. Reference notes and explanation here:
https://github.com/processing/processing-docs/issues/250
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/3296
+ smooth() and noSmooth() can only be used once per sketch, in setup().
See the changes, the explanation, and the discussion here:
https://github.com/processing/processing-docs/issues/251
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/3357
+ Re-opened the Gates of Hell by adding chaining operations to PVector
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/257
+ Changed exec() and open() to use varargs. Changed open() to launch()
to prevent problems with Python Mode.
+ Replaced --full-screen command line option with --present to untangle
full screen versus the "Present" command that places blanks the rest
of the screen around a sketch.
+ ortho() function is being reworked to make it compliant
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/1278

[ other changes and additions ]


+ Added new application and export icons. Mmm!
+ Add retina/high-res display support to OpenGL
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/2573
+ Add pixelDensity(2) command to enable retina or high-dpi mode for
your sketch. Make things look beautiful and crisp on expensive hardware!
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/3361
+ Added displayDensity() methods to get the pixel density for individual
displays. displayDensity() returns the density (1 or 2) of the default
(or currently selected) display, displayDensity(1) returns the density
of display 1. Guess how you get the density of display 2?
+ Add useful constructors to the Int/Float/StringList classes

PROCESSING 3.0a8 (REV 0235) - 17 May 2015


Stabilizing the mess from 3.0a6 and 3.0a7. Read the release notes for
those versions (below) if you haven't already.
If you're using Eclipse or another IDE, be sure to read the "changes"
section below, for a change in how the size() command works.

[ fixes ]
+ size() sometimes erratic (i.e default size used) This was often
seen with large setup() functions, or on more esoteric platforms.
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/1672
+ Command line "processing-java" was broken
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/3224
+ Sketchbook window requires restart of Processing before updating
after sketchbook location change.
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/3214
+ Replace & Find was reading "Find & Replace"
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/3247
+ "One file added to sketch" message when two files added
+ pop() was not implemented correctly in String/Int/FloatList
+ Errors in file name case differences not correctly reported
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/3235
+ Single Frame (no screen display) PDF broken
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/3280
+ "Buffers have not been created" error for sketches w/o draw()
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/2469

[ changes ]
+ Behind the scenes, the size() method is now moved out of setup()
and into a method named settings(). The settings() is called before
setup() and is the only place where size() can be used. If using
Processing without the PDE (i.e. with another IDE like Eclipse),
remove the size() method from setup() and instead place it like so:
public void settings() {
size(400, 400, P3D); // your size() command here
}
The rest of your code remains unchanged. The PDE does this
transparently, so 99% of people won't even notice this change.
However, it allows us to fix (and avoid) a lot of really nasty
complications that come from how Processing lets you switch
between 2D drawing and OpenGL and even something like PDF with
simple changes to the size() method.
We're trying "settings()" as the method name, but that may change
in a future alpha release. Once we hit beta, it will not change.
For those familiar with them, the sketchWidth(), sketchHeight(),
sketchRenderer(), etc methods should no longer be used. This new
implementation of the settings() method is a simpler solution.
+ Added SVG Export library (works like PDF Export). This has not
been tested heavily yet.
+ Replace Tweak Mode ColorSelector with JComponent version
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/3209
+ Fairly major rewrite of createShape(), shouldn't affect anything,
but keep an eye out for regressions.
+ Add new String/Int/FloatDict constructors that take an array for
useful static/<init> initialization
+ Move svgz handling to PApplet, remove objz handling
+ Implement blendMode in FX2D
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/3275
+ Added StringList(Object...) constructor to handle a grab bag of objects
+ Added appendUnique() to Int/Float/StringList to only add unique items
to a list. Replaces the following code, making "set" operations easier:
if (!theList.hasValue(value)) {
thiList.append(value);
}
+ Inside main(), don't set 'args' to a zero-length array if no args
were passed in, instead leave 'args' null.

[ debugger ]
+ Debugger "String is null" error when hitting breakpoint
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/3265
+ Change "method" to "function" in a few error messages
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/3225
+ Error message for incorrect function arguments is wonky
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/3268

PROCESSING 3.0a6 (REV 0233) - 25 April 2015


This is the big one! We've jettisoned PApplet as the base class so that
we can improve performance, reduce flicker, and have a better base from
which to build better, more modern graphics rendering. More of the
gory details for the PApplet/PGraphics changes can be found here:
https://github.com/processing/processing/tree/master/core
Speaking of breaking things, we're on the road to a new GUI as well:
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/3072

https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/3080
We've also made major changes to better integrate PDE X, Tweak Mode,
and other nice features for the default "Java" Mode. These will be the
center of the changes for 3.x, which is focused on improving the editing
and debugging experience in general.
Suffice to say, this is truly an ALPHA quality release. We're pushing it
out so that we can get more people testing it. If you want something more
stable, we recommend 3.0a5 (not 2.2.1, that thing is old!)
Library/Mode/Tool authors: Please help us get 3.0 ready by getting your
code ready for 3.0! Because 2.x and 3.x contributions are separate, you
can maintain separate versions if you like (or only support 3.x). You
can also specify the earliest and latest revisions of Processing that
your code supports, so that it's only installed with the correct version.
If anything is unclear, please file an issue. I've not had time to write
up all the changes yet (and some are still in progress), but what you see
in this release is representative of where we're headed for 3.0.

[ sketch ]
+ Added E2D, an experimental/enhanced renderer that draws directly
to the Graphics context without an intermediate image. This greatly
speeds up performance (especially on retina/hidpi displays), but
prevents pixel access (no save(), saveFrame(), loadPixels(), etc).
It also causes some rendering hiccups (frame rate is not as smooth),
but that's why it's experimental.

(these were unintentionally auto-imported from PGraphics)

PROCESSING 3.0a5 (REV 0232) - 16 November 2014


Hello from the University of Denver! I'm here with Casey, Dan, Andres,
and Manindra working on 3.0. Chris Coleman and Laleh Mehran have been

PROCESSING 3.0a4 (REV 0231) - 12 September 2014


Another release to deal with a handful of bugs found in the last alpha.
The next alpha release will contain major changes and break a few libraries
and tools, so this is an attempt at a final "stable" alpha that can be used
until all those issues are sorted out.
[ changes ]
+ Contributions (Libraries, Modes, Tools) are now read from their own
listing that's specific to Processing 3.
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/2850
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/2849
+ Made the new editor the default.
+ The OS X default File menu (shown when no windows are open) now has the
order/naming changes found in the sketch window File menu.
+ Turning off file watching because of errant "this sketch has changed"
messages. Hopefully this will return soon.
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/2852
+ Turned off code completion by default and reset its preference name.

https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/2831

[ internal tweaks ]
+ Optimize creation of boxed primitives
https://github.com/processing/processing/pull/2826
+ Add static modifier to inner classes that don't access parent
https://github.com/processing/processing/pull/2839

PROCESSING 3.0a3 (REV 0230) - 26 August 2014


The 3.0 process continues as we've wrapped up a very successful
Google Summer of Code, and have also been integrating contributions
(internationalization!) from some helpful community members.
In particular, Jakub Valtar, Darius M, and Frederico Bond are my heroes:
https://github.com/processing/processing/commits/master?author=jakubvaltar
https://github.com/processing/processing/commits/master?author=federicobond
https://github.com/processing/processing/commits/master?author=voidplus

[ changes ]
+ Removed toolbar buttons except for start/stop. This is part of a larger
set of GUI changes for 3.0. At the moment it makes the design really
awkward, but we needed to take the step in preparation for the larger
changes to come.

[ fixes and updates ]


+ The sound library is now available for 64-bit Windows and Linux.
32-bit versions are still in the works.
+ Don't write sketch.properties unless it's a non-default mode

+ Add another NaN check when sorting FloatList/Dict classes.
If all values were NaN, an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException was thrown.
+ PShape for JAVA2D (in progress)

PROCESSING 3.0a2 (REV 0229) - 31 July 2014


The 3.0 train gains steam and continues to hurtle down the track.

[ changes ]
+ Added a new sketchbook location, so that you can have separate sketchbooks
with 2.0 and 3.0 releases. The downside is that they won't stay in sync,
but the upside is that sketches that haven't been updated, or conflicting
Libraries, Modes, or Tools won't cause trouble with the other version.
The new preference is called sketchbook.location.three (the old preference
was sketchbook.location). If you already have a 2.0 sketchbook, that will
be used by default with 3.0 until you change it in the Preferences window.
+ Neglected to mention with the previous release that the video library has
been removed from the default download. This decreases the size of the
Processing download by about 20%. In addition, it was only the video
library for the platform being downloaded, and with the return of cross-
platform application export, that could cause sadness. To use the video
library, use the "Add Library..." menu and select it from the list.
+ Added a new preference for the 3.0 sketchbook location, so that a separate
sketchbook (and with it, different Modes, Tools, and Libraries) can be
used with Processing 3.0 versus older versions of 2.x.
+ Remove default menu bar hack for OS X
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=8022667
+ Move to native OS X full screen (supported in 10.7 and later)
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/2641
This allows us to remove native code for hiding the menu bar.
But it may introduce more quirks, we'll have to test it out.

[ fixes ]
+ The Examples weren't included in 3.0a1. Oops.
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/2652
+ Fix "No such file or directory" error when exporting on Mac OS X.
This bug actually meant that OS X apps weren't signed

PROCESSING 3.0a1 (REV 0228) - 26 July 2014


Kicking off the 3.0 release process. The focus for Processing 3 is improving
the editor and the coding process, so we'll be integrating what was formerly
PDE X as the main editor.
This release also includes a number of bug fixes and changes, based on
in-progress Google Summer of Code projects and a few helpful souls on Github.
Please contribute to the Processing 3 release by testing and reporting bugs.
Or better yet, helping us fix them and submitting pull requests.

PROCESSING 2.1 (REV 0223) - 27 October 2013


There have been major changes since 2.0.3, most of them are outlined in
the release notes for 2.1 beta 1 (look down a few dozen lines).
This release includes a few updates to fix problems introduced in the beta
release, as well as additional general bug fixes, especially for OpenGL.
+ Added an option to not embed the Java runtime into an exported application.
This saves you the 100 MB footprint, but requires your users to install
Java 7u45 or later. Details on the same page that nobody read last time:
http://wiki.processing.org/w/Export_Info_and_Tips
+ The new println() (see the beta 1 notes) makes some old code behave a
little differently. In the past, println() with an array would write
out the array, one element per line, with the index in the front. i.e.:
PFont.list()) would write something like this to the console:
[0] "Serif"
[1] "SansSerif"
[2] "Monospaced"
[3] "Dialog"
[4] "DialogInput"
[5] "ACaslonPro-Bold"
[6] "ACaslonPro-BoldItalic"
...and so on
Now it's going to write out something like:
Serif SansSerif Monospaced Dialog DialogInput ACaslonPro-Bold...
To get the old behavior, use printArray(). It's the price of progress,
and shouldn't really "break" anyone's code since it's just writing to the
console. We think the new syntax outweighs the downside of the change.
With arrays of primitive types (int[], float[], anything that's not an
object), we've added code so that println() works as before. But we
can't do the same for arrays of objects, such as String.
+ The preference for font smoothing (anti-aliasing) in the editor has been
reset in this release. Fonts are unusably gross on OS X (and Linux)
without smoothing and Oracle's version of Java (now in use with 2.1),
and many longtime users have anti-aliasing turned off. You can still
turn off smoothing in the Preferences window, but the results may be poor.
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/2164
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/2160

[ bug fixes ]
+ Fix dataPath() problem with OS X (was breaking Movie on export)
+ Command line processing-java was broken in 2.1 beta 1 on OS X
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/2159
+ Fix a situation where processing-java would return 0 instead of 1 on errors

PROCESSING 2.1 beta 1 (REV 0222) - 20 October 2013


This release contains major changes. The big ones:
+ Java 7 is now used across all platforms. On Mac OS X,
we're now embedding Java 7u45. More info here:
http://wiki.processing.org/w/Supported_Platforms#Java_Versions
+ Major changes have been made to Export to Application.
Read here: http://wiki.processing.org/w/Export_Info_and_Tips
+ print() and println() now make debugging fun! They can now take any
number of parameters, which means that code like:
println(x, y, mouseX, mouseY);
will print out
3 5 142 220
No more println(x + " " + y + " " + mouseX + " " + mouseY);
that was for suckers!
+ A new serial library has been added! The results of Gottfried Haider's
Google Summer of Code project now replaces the old serial library.
And everyone should wish Casey Reas happy birthday today!
This release is my birthday present for him. What did you get him?
Here's a more detailed rundown of what else is in this release:

[ new features and additions ]


+ For people using Eclipse, the new print() and println() methods add
some quirks because of how println() works for arrays in previous
versions of Processing. When printing an array, you should instead use
the new printArray() function, which works the same as the old println().
This will help avoid the compiler warnings with Eclipse and others.
In the PDE, this should be transparent, because warnings are not shown.
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/2056
+ Update the JavaDoc, remove java.* package prefix ugliness. Also link
out to the online version of the Oracle documentation.
+ Major work on the source and the build scripts as we completed the
transition to Java 7, and away from Apple's deprecated Java 6.
http://wiki.processing.org/w/Supported_Platforms#Mac_OS_X
+ Incorporated a version of Oracle's appbundler for OS X build. Made heavy
modifications to the original version to add features and simplify.
+ Culled un-needed resources from the Java 7 runtime to save space.
Unfortunately Java 7 is also much larger than Java 6, so the size change
isn't as considerable as we would hope.
+ Remove unused/outdated 'Mangler' Tool example
+ Remove video library for other platforms in download. This saves
significant space because we're not doing cross-platform export anymore.
+ Update apple.jar file with new version
https://developer.apple.com/legacy/library/samplecode/AppleJavaExtensions/Intr
oduction/Intro.html
+ Update build instructions on Github
https://github.com/processing/processing/wiki/Build-Instructions
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/1629
+ Many changes to the Supported Platforms page
http://wiki.processing.org/w/Supported_Platforms
+ Updates to the Export page to cover changes in this release
http://wiki.processing.org/w/Export_Info_and_Tips
+ Removed the 32- and 64-bit selector from the Preferences on OS X.
Java 7 on OS X only supports 64-bit, so 32-bit is no longer available.

[ editor fixes ]
+ Deal with null/missing folders for Tools and Modes
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/2068
+ Non-compliant libraries cause crash on "Add Library"
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/2026

https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/836
+ Open new PDE maximized when current PDE is maximized
https://github.com/processing/processing/pull/2037
+ cmd-left was bringing up the text area popup, causing X Mode weirdness
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/2103

[ core bug fixes ]


+ Screen stops updating sometimes with retina displays on OS X
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/1699
This was an Apple bug, and is fixed by our switch to Oracle's Java 7.
+ Background color for present mode had no effect
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/2071
https://github.com/processing/processing/pull/2072

https://github.com/processing/processing/pull/2070
+ Java2D images crash after being resized
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/2113
+ Constrain lerpColor() between 0 and 1. Unlike lerp(), where it might
make mathematical sense, going outside the boundary colors produces
really messy results.
+ JSONObject/Array.format(-1) not working on embedded JSONObjects
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/2119
+ Fix insertRow() bug with Table
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/2137

[ opengl updates ]

+ Vertex codes were not being properly set in P2D/P3D
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/2131
+ Some box normals were inverted
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/2151

[ new serial library ]


+ Incorporate the new serial library. Woohoo!
https://github.com/processing/processing/pull/2093
+ 64-bit version of serial library
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1237
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/1275
+ Closed several serial bugs because they're no longer relevant:
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=52

https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/1782
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/1504
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1466
+ Change the location of the manager download to something more stable.
+ Restrict library categories to the ones in the document. If it's not
correct, shows up as 'other'.
+ Catch Errors (not just Exceptions) when loading libraries, modes,
and tools. Handles UnsupportedClassVersionError and other quirks.
+ Redo handling of "old" versions of contributions.
+ Update example list when library is installed

+ Add a sort() method to Table.
+ Implement version of Table that takes a dictionary file. Syntax is:
Table t = loadTable("bigdata.tsv", "dictionary=bigdata-dict.tsv")
This allows you to set the data type of columns before loading, which
provides much better performance and lower memory usage.
+ Constructing table from an Iterator is missing
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/1956
+ Add sum() to IntList and FloatList
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/1893

automatically resize the list if necessary. This is more in keeping
with increment() in the Dict classes.
+ getSubset() broken in IntList, StringList, and missing from FloatList
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/1979
+ Add join() method to Int/Float/StringList
+ Add getContent(defaultValue) to XML

+ Add getXxxx(xxx, defaultValue) methods to JSONObject/Array
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/2007

[ internal changes you'll never notice... unless I broke something ]


+ Add an exception wrapper for startup, hopefully we can catch/debug
more "Processing can't start!" issues with this.
+ Update JNA from 3.2.4 to 3.5.2.
+ Updated JOGL to 2.0.2.
+ Added methods to move files to Trash/Recycle Bin where available.
+ Implement basic proxy server support for update checking and the
contribution managers.
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/1476
+ Basic getShape(ch) implementation for font glyph shapes. Not finished
and (therefore) not yet documented.
+ Change QUAD_BEZIER_VERTEX to QUADRATIC_VERTEX to match the API call
(because this lives inside PConstants).
+ Add retina switch for PApplet to set useActive with OS X and 7u40.
Prevents speed/performance issues with old sketches on retina macs.
+ Add error message for raspberry pi (and others?) about int buffers
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/2010

[ changes ]
+ Experimental Mode has been removed from the default download,
so that it can be updated more frequently. Install it and help us
test what will become the 3.0 release of Processing!
+ Add "Processing Foundation" to the Help menu.
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/1908

PROCESSING 2.0 (REV 0218) - 3 June 2013


And just like that, here we are at 2.0.
[ bug fixes ]
+ Example window has the Java application icon
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/1800
+ The update checker sometimes insisted there were updates,
even though there were not, due to a build problem.
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/1792
+ Removed the 'modes' folder from the sketchbook listing
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/1832
+ Add return code to processing-java on Linux
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/1798
+ Command line tool on OS X was broken due to classpath problems.
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/1787

https://github.com/processing/processing/pull/1775
+ .png data written when .jpg file specified with save/saveFrame()
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/1810
+ remove() broken in the List classes
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/1826
+ PGraphics objects that used JAVA2D weren't updating when used with OpenGL
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/1786
+ P2D/P3D sketches don't get focus until clicked
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/1700
[ changes ]
+ A handful of tweaks to smooth out the 2.0 user interface.
Incorporates some of the feedback suggested here:
https://github.com/processing/processing/pull/1822
while trying to preserve the look & feel of our PDE design.
+ Added built-in fonts (Source Sans and Source Code from Adobe)
as the default font for the UI and editor. As usual, the editor
font can be changed in preferences.txt. And if you already have
a preferences.txt file, the new font won't override it. Fonts
for GUI elements can be modified in lib/theme.txt, but be careful
with those, and don't complain if/when they break.
+ Added several additional functions for data classes. More details
in the reference and coming soon.
+ Changed how null values were handled with binary tables. If anyone
was using the (undocument) .bin format for Table, you'll need to
re-save your data.
+ Changed XML.toString() (what's called when you print() or println()
an XML object) to just send a single line of text instead of a full
XML document with a header. Use format(numSpaces) if you want a
properly formatted document with declaration at the top.
[ andres on the attack ]
+ PImage not drawn after resize()/get() in P2D/P3D
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/1830

+ Implement textMode(SHAPE) for 3D
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/777
+ An internal change so that PImage.loadPixels() doesn't call the renderer.
Fixes some odd quirks in saveFrame() and other draw/get/save operations.
+ Setting smooth(n) affects disables background in setup()
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/1452
+ textureWrap(REPEAT) + textureMode(IMAGE) clamps positive coordinates
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/1809

PROCESSING 2.0b9 (REV 0217) - 18 May 2013


The 2.0 interface has arrived! Mmm... pretty.
We've removed Android and JavaScript modes from the default download. You
can easily install them by selected "Add Mode" from the Mode menu. They've
been removed because the changes have not kept pace with the rest of
Processing, and it was holding up the release of 2.0. As separate projects,
we hope it'll be easier for volunteers to get involved, rather than our
tiny, worn out development team. View the projects here:
https://github.com/fjenett/javascript-mode-processing
https://github.com/processing/processing-android
There are also lots of goodies in the new data classes found in the
processing.data package that will make it much easier to handle data from
inside Processing. More documentation coming soon!
We're hoping this is the last beta before 2.0, but we're still haggling
with one or two issues that could require a beta 10. That's a lot of beta.
[ fixes ]

http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=325
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/364
+ Removed netscape.javascript stuff that was only relevant for applets
+ Change error message for libraries (especially serial) for 32- vs 64-bit
to clarify that the 32- or 64-bit version of Processing can be used instead.
+ Rebuilt the internal Runner to use SocketAttach... This may bring up
a firewall message on some machines. Don't worry, it's safe (as long as
the message is showing up when you hit Run, that's expected).
+ Add set(x, y) to PVector.
+ Removed div() and mult() from PVector, since not a legit math operation.
https://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1506
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/1544

+ Add official API for mouse wheel support
https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/1461
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1423
+ Incorporated JDI changes from Manindra. This makes the download a little
larger, but is a step toward being able to have a simpler download that
only requires a JRE (and is therefore much smaller!)

PROCESSING 2.0b7 (REV 0215) - 7 December 2012


475,382 bug fixes in this release as we work on finalizing 2.0.
[ changes ]
+ Removed all imports that aren't covered in the Processing reference.
If you use java.awt, java.util, or other classes in your sketch, you
will need to add an import line to the beginning of your sketch.
Only the classes that are covered in the reference (HashMap, ArrayList,
and some others) are now imported by default. This has been done to improve
overall cross-platform parity and to avoid users unknowingly adding
Java classes, and then the sadness that comes when switching to Android
or JavaScript modes.
The list of imports is now hard-coded (no longer read from preferences.txt)
and includes the following:
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.OutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
If we're missing anything that's covered in the reference, please let us
know via the bugs database.
+ A new "experimental" mode has been added. It's the start of combining two
of our Google Summer of Code projects (DebugMode and XQMode) to enable
a debugger and on-the-fly error checking. We're including it in the release
so that folks can test it out and let us know how it's doing. The interface
still needs work and its innards may be a bit buggy, but it represents
some exciting upcoming improvements for the PDE.
+ hint(ENABLE_ACCURATE_2D) has been renamed to hint(DISABLE_OPTIMIZED_STROKE)
to better reflect what it actually does. Reference has been added.
OpenGL drawing is significantly faster when the fill and stroke of a shape
is drawn separately. This leads to visual artifacts on shapes where both
fill and stroke is enabled (not a great idea in 3D anyway), so this option
fixes the visual artifacts at the expense of speed.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1302
+ Sketch names can no longer begin with underscores (fixes an Android
compatibility issue). This was changed in recent releases, but missing here.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=859
+ More Mac OS X key bindings have been implemented in the editor:
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1354
http://guides.macrumors.com/Keyboard_shortcuts&section=10#Text_Shortcuts
+ Set quality level higher when exporting JPEG images. This will result
in larger JPEG files with save() and saveFrame(), but the default quality
setting in the past was unacceptable for many/most projects.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=58
See the bug report link for how to implement in case you want to set
the quality lower (or even higher) than the new default.
+ Table row iterating syntax has changed. This code:
for (TableRow row : table) { ... }
has now changed to
for (TableRow row : table.getRows()) { ... }
(This may change to rows() on the next round, pending other API tweaks)
+ Change default for shift-backspace to just be backspace. To change it back,
set editor.keys.shift_backspace_is_delete=true in preferences.txt.
+ Implement clip() and noClip() to set the clipping region.
+ Added blendMode() feature.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1385
+ Add different styles of arc drawing.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=711
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1406
+ Added XML.getLong() (also updated Android)
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1378
+ Implement back-buffer sampler in OpenGL renderers.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1169
+ Change how get(x, y, w, h) was handled with offscreen areas.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=925
+ Make key and mouse events interleave, also improve threading.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=79
+ Changed event constants to PRESS, RELEASE, CLICK, DRAG, MOVE, ENTER, EXIT
instead of past-tense versions of the same.
+ Removed mask(int[]) from PImage.
+ Implement postEvent() to put new events on the queue.
+ Add mouseEntered/Exited on the desktop.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=500
+ Change output from processing-java to be UTF-8 encoded.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1418
+ Disable Quartz renderer to fix line blending problem on OS X.
This older renderer was faster but had some bugs, like one that
caused lines to composite incorrectly when alpha was used.
Add "PApplet.useQuartz = true;" into your PApplet.main()
function to switch back to the old method:
http://processing.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/processing/build/javadoc/core/proce
ssing/core/PApplet.html#useQuartz
+ Remove requirement for Google APIs in Android mode.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=613

[ bug fixes ]
+ mouseButton not being set properly in mouseClicked.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1350
+ mouseButton is 0 in mouseReleased() on OS X
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1373
+ mousePressed() coloring now different from mousePressed
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=41
Still not necessarily perfect, but it's a big improvement.
Note for people implementing their own Modes: FUNCTION1 and
FUNCTION2 have now been added for functions with parens.
+ 32-bit mode / 64-bit mode preference was ignored on OS X.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1426
+ Prevent errors on first line of a new tab from highlighting the last
line of the previous tab. In particular, a single letter on a new tab
was highlighting the last line of the tab to its left.
+ Android debug information wasn't being passed through to the console.
In addition, on Windows, error reporting wasn't working properly
(couldn't find the right line or report the error correctly).
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1440
+ Fix ugly results from resize() command on PImage:
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=332
and similar on Android:
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=239
+ P2D/P3D PGraphics buffer failing to draw if larger than main surface.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1255
+ Fix double error report when textMode(SCREEN) was used:
textMode(SCREEN) has been removed from Processing 2.0.
textMode(256) is not supported by this renderer.
+ image(pgraphics, x, y, w, h) was only drawing once when shrinking.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1382
+ beginShape(QUAD) was not working with Java2D.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1365

http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1376
+ Prevent potential race condition when resizing sketches.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=697
+ Mode detection wasn't properly ignoring code inside comments.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1404
+ Fix error line numbers from command line version to count from one
instead of zero, so that they're compatible with other systems.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1392
+ Sketches exported to Linux weren't passed the command line arguments
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1359
+ "electricScroll" feature was causing weird jumps when double-clicking

+ Using a PGraphics as a texture produces visual artifacts.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1420
[ android ]
+ Like the desktop release, removed default imports. This includes:
android.view.MotionEvent, android.view.KeyEvent,android.graphics.Bitmap
due to conflicts w/ the new event system, and hoping to enforce better
cross-platform compatibility between Java, JavaScript, and Android modes.
+ Changed event handling to hopefully clean up some inconsistencies.
Removed motionX/Y/Pressure... these need to be handled separately.
More here: http://wiki.processing.org/w/Android

PROCESSING 2.0b6 (REV 0214) - 2 November 2012


Patching up command line issues that went backwards in the last release,
a number of OpenGL fixes, and more internal changes and updates.
[ bug fixes ]
+ Command line support was broken in 2.0b5, with an error about
processing-java ClassNotFoundException: BatchCompiler
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1334
On Mac OS X, you may need to re-run the "Install Command Line" tool.
+ Make sure the sketchbook is being picked up on the command line,
so that imported libraries are handled correctly.
+ Import statements were executed within multiline comments.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=911
+ Editor not responding properly if the "External Editor" preference
had been enabled with a previous release.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1355
+ A number of OpenGL fixes to better handle older chipsets, like the
GMA 950 (found on lots of older Mac Minis and similar hardware).
+ Reverted back to an older version of the JOGL library to prevent
issues with sketches locking up. In particular, this should fix
sketches that use the video library:
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1338
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1364
+ Icon loading was causing an error if you used a package for your code.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1346
+ No longer using --request on OS X 10.6, since it's not available.
Avoids a harmless warning message on the console when running a sketch.
[ changes/additions ]
+ Added an option to Preferences to enable/disable advanced input method
support to handle complex scripts like Japanese, Korean, or Chinese.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=526
+ Add option for blinking and/or block caret in the editor. To disable
caret blinking in the text editor, add this line to preferences.txt:
editor.caret.blink = true
Or to just a block caret, use this:
editor.caret.block = false
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1136
[ internal ]
+ Removed applet-related preferences, and the 'applet' subfolder in the
source/distribution.
+ Removed the old 'cmd' folder from the source/distribution
+ Preferences are now written in sorted order to make it easier to handle
comparisons or other debugging.
+ Major change to handle how the 'lib' folder is found, hopefully does a
better job with command line support.

changes to simplify how modes are handled.
[ bug fixes ]
+ Libraries not installed through IDE had blank names.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1331
+ mouseButton not being set properly on Windows (and probably Linux).
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1332
+ Console disappearing with increased editor font size.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1275
[ changes/internal ]
+ Change how modes are set up so that XQMode, our Google Summer of Code
project can work properly.
+ Implement multiple sizes of icons for PDE and core. This improves
the quality of the icon seen on Windows and Linux attached to frames.

PROCESSING 2.0b4 (REV 0212) - 21 October 2012


Command line support is back! Find and Replace works over multiple tabs!
The Mac OS X version should work again in spite of Apple's best efforts!
[ additions & removals ]
+ Command line support is now available for Java mode. On Windows and Linux,
use the processing-java program. On Mac OS X, there's an option in the
Tools menu to install the command line tool.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=142
Build and export options should even work in headless mode when enabled
(no guarantees, but simple test results were promising).
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=220
Android and JavaScript mode are not supported, contributions are welcome:
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1323
+ Added a Tool for Mac OS X to help set up serial port. Using serial on
OS X requires some incantations on the command line, and this prompts for
an administrator password and takes care of them for you. The commands
involve creating a folder and setting a few permissions. If everything
is already set properly, the Tool will not be present in the Tools menu.
+ With the arrival of command line support, the misunderstood and sometimes
maligned "Use External Editor" option has been removed.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=515
+ Fix several problems introduced by Apple's recent Java "update".
Apple's most recent Java update may render older versions of Processing
completely unusable, it's not quite clear yet.

[ technical updates ]
+ JOGL has been updated, which may help iron out some GL quirks.
+ Change all build.xml files to use Java 6 as both source and target
(avoids Java 7 warnings during build).
+ Updated ecj.jar to use jdt-core.jar... This is a larger file but were
hoping that this would get our GSoC project "XQMode" working without
the need for patches. Sadly that's not the case, but stay tuned.
[ known issues ]
+ Fewer exclamation points will be used to introduce future releases.

+ Make file selectable from the OS X menu bar. Thanks to Hansi for the
patch. Note that this only works for sketches that have been saved.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1215
+ Added registerMethod(keyEvent) to Android, though motion and mouse
events are still unavailable.
+ Cleaning up the internals of Preferences and untitled sketches.
Fingers crossed that these don't give us last-minute regressions.

PROCESSING 2.0b2 (REV 0210) - 7 September 2012


One major fix for libraries that use key events, and a number of minor
fixes that we've found along the way.
[ fixes and updates ]

PROCESSING 2.0b1 (REV 0209) - 3 September 2012


Bug fixes, new registered methods for libraries, updated keywords,
and we're beta!
[ changes ]
+ Require 10.6.8 as minimum Mac OS X system version.
+ Change name from "Standard" to "Java" mode.
+ Save opened/closed state of entries in the examples browser

PROCESSING 2.0a9 (REV 0208) - 1 September 2012


As we inch closer to beta, a quick release for testing.
Plenty of video and OpenGL graphics fixes from Andres, and some functions
disappearing due to cleanups by Ben. (Andres giveth, Ben taketh away).
Consider this one to be 'nightly build' quality.
[ general ]
+ Help menu broken when Processing has spaces in its path name in 2.0a8
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1164
+ We now have repeating textures. Use textureWrap(CLAMP) (the usual
version) or textureWrap(REPEAT). If this feature is used for evil
and cheesiness, it will be removed in future releases.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=94
+ Fix lights in GL renderers on low-end android devices.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1145

PROCESSING 2.0a8 (REV 0207) - 5 August 2012


A handful of bug fixes. Not as large a release as 2.0a7, but I decided
it best to get the updates out there and in use rather than waiting for
beta 1 since I'm not sure when we'll be able to get that out.
[ miscellaneous ]
+ Make sure smooth() is the default with both renderers
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1157
+ "Open" dialog on Linux wasn't showing directories
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1151
+ Double-click was immediately closing example folder (Windows and Linux)
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1150
+ Support native code in Android libraries. Thanks to m4rlonj for the patch!
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1117
+ Don't expand the folders in the examples window (Casey request)
+ Added cmd-shift-O (ctrl-shift-O) for opening examples window
+ Added recent sketches menu to the toolbar
+ Added 'empty sketchbook' indicator when the sketchbook menus are empty
+ Prevent users from deleting the last tab on the only sketch that is
currently open on Windows and Linux.
[ serial ]
+ Added 64-bit RXTX for Mac OS X serial from this page:
http://blog.iharder.net/2009/08/18/rxtx-java-6-and-librxtxserial-jnilib-on-int
el-mac-os-x/

PROCESSING 2.0a7 (REV 0206) - 29 July 2012


Hopefully the last alpha before we hit 2.0 beta.
The big change is that we're dropping support for applets in 2.0, and in
this release. See the Changes section of the Wiki for details. We've not
updated all of the documentation to reflect this yet.
OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion support has also been added, by virtue of our
paying $99/year for the privilege of releasing our free and open source
application on OS X. When run on 10.8, versions prior to 2.0a7 would report
that they were corrupt, invalid, or not trusted. Which is definitely us.
[ editor ]
+ Implemented a "Recent Sketches" menu. This replaces re-opening
sketches on startup, which behaved inconsistently anyway.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=188
+ Use Swing file choosers by default on Linux. The default open/save
dialogs provided by Java are pretty gruesome, so we're switching to
the Swing JFileChooser instead. To swap the behavior, set
'chooser.files.native' in your preferences.txt file.
+ Suppress "invalid context 0x0" and "invalid drawable" because they're
(unfixable) Apple Java bugs and being reported as Processing bugs.
Also suppress XInitThreads message on Linux with JOGL, which is a
JOGL bug that'll hopefully be fixed in their next release.
+ Fix Movie Maker tool on OS X.
+ Update to Java 6 update 33 on Windows and Linux.
+ Add separate 32- and 64-bit releases for Windows and Linux. Lots of other
updates for 32/64-bit support in general.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=955
+ Replace processing.exe with a more standard version from launch4j,
which should hopefully clean up some launcher issues.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=943
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=176
+ Change how sketches open so that there's no longer differences between
the File menu 'Open' and the way it worked from the toolbar. Simplifies
additional code that was quirky.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1034
+ Add a warning dialog for libraries that aren't compatible.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=884
+ Fix up the file choosers used on Linux.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1014
+ Instead of prompting for sketchbook location on Linux, just default to
a folder named 'sketchbook' in the user's home directory. This can easily
be changed later but simplifies things internally a bit.
+ No longer allow underscore at beginning of sketch name (causes problems
with Android, and also with applets, though we care less about those...)
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1047
+ Fixed a problem where sanitized names (underscores replacing unusable
characters) could potentially overwrite existing folders.
[ core ]
+ Major changes to selectInput(), selectOutput(), and selectFolder().
See the Wiki: http://wiki.processing.org/w/Changes#Change_and_Removed
The changes are there to prevent a threading bug:
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=173
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=931
And also include an option to set the default file path:
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=233
+ Change 'appletViewer' back to 'online'. Still deprecated, especially
because applets are going away.
+ Add begin/endGL added to PGraphics/PApplet.
+ Add hasChildren() to XML library.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1045
+ Fix where displayWidth/Height not being set properly before setup()
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1120
+ XML now throws exceptions in its constructor (for advanced users).
Use loadXML() instead of "new XML(this, ....)"
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1138
+ loadXML() returns null when the file did not open properly
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1138
+ ortho() causing line and fill to be misaligned
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1143
+ Add some extra options for PApplet.main() for advanced users:
PApplet.main("SketchName") and PApplet.main("SketchName", args)
[ android ]
+ Add full PAppletMethods implementation to Android, so that PGraphics
and PImage methods are brought into PApplet.
+ Swap Run on Device and Run on Emulator
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1083
+ Fix XML crash on loading because of desktop-specific attribute
error: "http://apache.org/xml/features/nonvalidating/load-external-dtd"
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1128
This also fixes PShape on Android:

PROCESSING 2.0a5 (REV 0204) - 23 March 2012


Major updates in this release include a huge revamp of the OpenGL library
by Andres, fixes to get Android Mode working again, and a number of bug
fixes and additions as we head toward 2.0.
Unfortunately, however, Android mode is still broken on Windows.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=1022
On the OpenGL front, we're working to have a single library that works
across both desktop and mobile, which is good news because it means we have
a fighting chance of making it work (rather than maintaining two entire sets
of a very complicated set of code), but the downside is that it requires
newer versions of OpenGL on both the desktop and mobile, so it may cause
problems with old OSes, mediocre graphics drivers, etc that worked with
earlier releases.
[ bug fixes ]
+ OpenGL applets are working again.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=845
+ Abnormal high Java CPU usage at empty sketch with draw()
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=729

+ Doc comments not being properly terminated in export of applet
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=877
+ Tweaks to the code to prevent multiple copies of Processing from
running at once.
+ Fix bug with 'base' not getting set in the Mac OS X platform class.
+ Syntax highlighting not case sensitive in 1.5 through 2.0+
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=913
+ Fix problem with application export on Linux
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=945
+ Fix PImage.get() issue with width or height < 0.
+ (Mostly failed) attempts to improve the performance of tint() with Java2D.
+ Fix so that normals aren't attempted when no texture is set.
+ Several bug fixes inside Table as they relate to inserting/adding columns.
[ changes/additions ]
+ Enable smooth() by default.
+ Added setContent() to the XML library, other tweaks to XML export.
+ Make note of when library is not available (serial) with error msg
i.e. if running in 64-bit mode on OS X, can't do serial
+ Update to Java 6u29 for Linux and Windows (OS X now updated).
+ Don't show library conflict warning until someone tries to build
with code that actually calls on one of those packages.
+ urlEncode() and urlDecode() added (docs coming later).
+ delay() is back again. F*king delay().
+ Added anti-alias methods so that FSAA can set up properly. The API for
these is not set yet.
[ in earlier releases ]
+ Commenting via menu or shortcut does not set sketch to "need save".
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=860
+ Moved the data folder outside the main jar in exported applications.
Otherwise enormous files are sometimes added to the jar, which makes
things needlessly slow.
+ Create new MovieMaker tool to write uncompressed QuickTime movies.
www.randelshofer.ch/blog/2010/10/writing-quicktime-movies-in-pure-java
+ Library imports failing for libs that define the same packages in 1.5.1

PROCESSING 2.0a4 (REV 0203) - 10 November 2011


This is just a quick release so that I can procrastinate on packing for
Chicago a little longer. A handful of bug fixes here:
+ Video capture was broken in 2.0a3 on OS X due to an issue with the build
process. Should be all set now.
+ Fixed incessant "inefficient font rendering" debug message on Android.
+ Fixed android/code/build.xml to point at the correct SDK version.
+ Changing between 32- and 64- bit mode on OS X wasn't properly reloading
library paths. Now it should pick up the necessary 32- and 64-bit version
of a library that's needed. (However there are still no useful error
messages when natives aren't available for the platform--just an
UnsatisfiedLinkError when you try to run. Will fix.)

PROCESSING 2.0a2 (REV 0201) - 31 October 2011


Happy Halloween! I'll be dressing up as an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.
This release is primarily focused on the new video library and making it
usable across platforms. It also has some changes for how applications
are exported, and a number of other bug fixes and tweaks.
[ platforms ]
+ With this release, Java 1.6 is now required. We will no longer be
supporting Java 1.5.
+ In perhaps related news, we are no longer supporting Mac OS X 10.5.
We have to support 10.6 and 10.7 across both 32- and 64-bit, and adding
yet another to that is simply not possible.
[ 32- and 64-bit support is a nightmare ]
+ A great deal of effort is being put into supporting the emergence of
64-bit. Library support has changed significantly to get things working,
more on this coming soon.
+ Serial on Mac OS X and Windows is currently only available for 32-bit.
Hoping someone can help us support a 64-bit version sometime soon.
+ When exporting a 64-bit application for Windows, a .bat file is created,
because our .exe doesn't yet support 64-bit. Assuming you have a 64-bit
JVM installed, the .bat file should load things properly.
+ Because serial only supports 32-bit on OS X, exporting an application
that uses serial will only create a application.macosx32 folder, which
is a 32-bit app for Mac OS X. No application.macosx64 will be created,
nor will a universal application.macosx folder. This is also the case
for other libraries that have only 32- or 64-bit support. See earlier
note that 32- and 64-bit support is an f*ing nightmare.
[ video ]
+ The most significant change in this release is that the new video library
from Andres (based on his old gsvideo library) is nearing fully fucntional.
+ MovieMaker is going to be replaced by a Tool that allows you to sequence
a set of images together into a movie file. The tool currently has a GUI
bug that breaks it, but this will be fixed sometime soon.
[ other changes ]
+ Application is now the default export (instead of Applet).
+ Change to how dataPath() and dataFile() work. This is an undocumented
function, but for those using it, here's the skinny:
dataPath() is only available with applications, not applets or Android.
On Windows and Linux, this is simply the data folder, which is located
in the same directory as the EXE file and lib folders. On Mac OS X, this
is a path to the data folder buried inside Contents/Resources/Java.
For the latter point, that also means that the data folder should not be
considered writable. Use sketchPath() for now, or inputPath() and
outputPath() once they're available in the 2.0 release.
dataPath() is not supported with applets because applets have their data
folder wrapped into the JAR file. To read data from the data folder that
works with an applet, you should use other methods such as createInput(),
createReader(), or loadStrings().
+ Additional library files included with application exports are now placed
in the 'lib' folder on Linux and Windows, or buried inside the OS X app.
This helps prevent the unsightly mess of DLLs that were crowding the
root folder of exported applications on Windows and Linux.
+ If noLoop() has been called but a sketch is resized, redraw() will be
called to update the screen.

covered on the changes page in the Wiki: http://wiki.processing.org/w/Changes
This is an interim release so that Andres can do a workshop. Not recommended
for casual use. Hostile or belligerent whiners need not apply.
Android mode has received zero testing, so XML, SVG, 3D, and other major
features may be broken. See statement directly above.

PROCESSING 1.5 (REV 0196) - 17 April 2011


A lot has changed in the nine months since 1.2.1 was released, the biggest
being the introduction of "modes" for the editor, allowing you to switch
between Android development or the classic desktop/web mode. More modes are
coming in future releases.
Another significant change is a fix for applets that were stuttering or
appearing to run very, very slowly in Firefox 4 and Chrome. That's the major
reason that we're releasing this version in advance on 2.0 later this summer.
All of the changes since 1.2.1 are listed in this document. If you get stuck,
give it a search to see if there might be a clue about something that has
changed. Or if you have problems, please file a bug.
For people who have been using OPENGL2 in the pre-releases, the library
has been removed from 1.5, and will return in future pre-releases before
eventually replacing the built-in OpenGL library for 2.0.
Meanwhile, here are the changes since revision 0195, the last pre-release:
[ pde ]
+ A new version of the reference and examples have been posted online.
+ Upgraded to Quaqua 7.3.4 on OS X. Fixes mode menu checkbox on OS X
+ Added a fix for text focus handling in the editor (0195 problem)

+ Fix caret bug leading to slow degredation of the PDE.
+ Fix Color Selector to be more efficient with many sketch windows.
+ Fix sketch marked as modified too aggressively

PROCESSING REV 0194 - 9 March 2011


Lots of fixes for late-breaking problems in release 0193.
[ fixes ]
+ The Auto Format command went missing in 0193. It's back for 0194, but is
now located in the Edit menu, where it will stay for the rest of its long
and happy life.
+ The "Import Library" menu wasn't being updated properly in 0193. Note that
for the time being, there are no core libraries on Android. (OpenGL is built
in, for instance.)
+ Fix mode switching for Windows and Linux.
+ Library examples weren't showing up in 0193, now they're back.
+ Fix for flicker problem in the default renderer.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=558
+ The examples menu wasn't completely removed in 0193.
+ Remove "temporarily skipping deletion of" debugging message on export.
+ Properly reload examples & libraries when changing the sketchbook location.
+ Fix a problem with untitled sketches and mode switching.
+ Fix problem with Sketch Permissions for Android.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=559
[ notes ]
+ Because both OpenGL and OpenGL2 are present, there may be conflicts if you
implement any OpenGL-specific code outside the Processing API. If your sketch
includes either of the following lines:
import javax.media.opengl.*;
import javax.media.opengl.glu.*;
then you should remove one of the OpenGL libraries, depending on which you
would like to use.
+ OpenGL is built-in on Android. You don't need to add it as a library, the
way you do with the desktop. A "import processing.opengl.*" line won't
hurt anything (the preprocessor removes it), but it's also not necessary.
(This is also noted in the Android wiki.)
+ Library examples no longer show up buried in the sketchbook. Instead they
can be found in the "Libraries" and "Contributed Libraries" sections of
the examples window.
[ additions ]
+ Added a new icon for "Export to Application", along the lines of the
icons used on the Android side.
+ Remove warning about the broken build.

PROCESSING REV 0193 - 8 March 2011


The PDE is receiving a major overhaul. The most obvious change is that
there's now a menu that allows you to switch between "modes". "Standard"
is the Java-based mode that we're all used to, and "Android" compiles
things for Android devices.
Basically it's all pre-releases from here until 2.0.
With the mode support, it will soon be possible to embed other projects,
like the Python version, or the JS exporter, directly inside the PDE.
More on this later.
This release also fixes a handful of Android problems, like the use of
libraries, the code folder, and so on.
[ core ]
+ Fix problem that made applets suck in Google Chrome and Firefox 4.
+ Fix java.lang.OutOfMemoryError using get() and image() inside a tight loop.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=42
+ Changed default font to Lucida Sans, available on all platforms.
This means that your text may be a slightly different size if you haven't
used textFont(), but hey, you probably don't use the default font, right?
A fella (or gal) like you?
+ textAlign() incorrect with default font on Mac OS X 10.6
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=362
+ Clean up how PDF fonts are handled. Default to writing fonts as shapes,
which makes PDF files larger, but is likely to work in more cases. If you
want editable/real text, you can call textMode(MODEL) right after creating
the PDF renderer (directly below size() or beginRecord()).
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=416
+ Saving a PGraphics as jpg using save() makes a cmyk file
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=415
+ Fix bizarre window placement when using Present mode on OS X.
[ pde changes/fixes ]
+ Added support for separate 32 and 64 bit versions of libraries.
+ Added a 64 bit version of the OpenGL library.
+ Updates to Java 6u23 in the download.
+ Fix issue with javac.exe not being included in the download.
+ Also added opengl2, which rolls GLGraphics and the new Android OpenGL
library into a newer, faster, more amazinger OpenGL that will eventually
be the default.
+ Added a *lot* of examples. This has also had the effect of making the
download enormous. It's currently obese. We'll sort that out later.
+ Code folder oddity on application export (in SVN)
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=486
+ Processing cannot run because it could not ... store your settings.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=410

+ Fix the encoding on OS X for the "Fix Encoding and Reload" function
+ Hex value from color picker does not start with #

+ Console, preferences cleanup: removed build.path, as well as
console.output.file, and console.error.file. Also removed 'console'
true/false from preferences.
+ Change console to write to the 'console/' folder in settings.
This may eventually create a problem with logs that need to be cleaned,
but we'll keep an eye on it for now.
+ Add splash image on OS X.
+ Added window for examples. It's a bit ugly, but the menu was too much
and we should be able to clean this feller up later. Also makes the
examples a bit more obvious.
+ Updated the serial library for Mac OS X

This means losing the standard skin on the emulator, but we'll see
about bringing it back in some other fashion in the future.
We weren't actually using the Google APIs, so it seemed silly
because of how much complexity it added.

+ Removed build.path from preferences.txt.
Not really used anywhere, just trying to clean things up.
+ Removed 'console.output.file' and 'console.error.file'.
These weren't respected as paths, no reason for them.
+ Change console to write to the 'console/' folder in settings.
This may eventually create a problem with logs that need to be cleaned,
but we'll keep an eye on it for now.
+ Removed 'console' true/false from preferences.
+ Cannot reproduce problem with wrong character encoding in the console.

PROCESSING REV 0192 - 18 December 2010


This release contains a roll-up of lots of bug fixes. However, it's being
released before it's ready, so it should only be used by people who are having
trouble with the new Android SDK release (revision 8) from Google, which
broke Android support last week.
This version of Processing for Android *requires* Android SDK Tools Release 8.
If you're not using release 8, and don't have the necessary components
installed, you'll get (confusing) error messages saying that the SDK location
is not set, and that it could not find an SDK in the location that you specify.
As for this being an early release, the problem is that major changes were
underway regarding how libraries are handled, so it's quite possible that
library support (in both the standard or Android version) or code folder
support is somewhat broken. So with that caveat, no whining, please.
On a happier note, the changes:
[ android fixes ]
+ Compile android-core with Java 5 as the target so that it works on OS X 10.5.
[ additions from andres ]
+ A3D should use lower color depth on older devices.

PROCESSING REV 0190 - 18 August 2010


This release is primarily for Android users. For the desktop version, there
are some problems with fonts. If you're using text, especially with PDFs,
you may want to wait until the next release.
Android users should read the Wiki (http://wiki.processing.org/w/Android)
which has a lot of new information.
[ android ]
+ Added a new menu to cover enabling/disabling Android mode.
+ Added a Permissions dialog, so that you can set permissions for your
applications, e.g. so you can read from the internet or save files.
+ Added support for icons. Put files named icon-32.png, icon-48.png,
and icon-72.png in your sketch folder, and they'll be added to your
project when it's created. Otherwise you'll get an ugly blue dot
default icon. You've been warned.
+ Finish implementing the size() command on Android. See the Wiki for notes.
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1397
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=211
+ Finish implementation of P3D/OpenGL/A3D for Android.
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1396
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1401
+ Allow screenWidth/Height as parameters to size().
+ Fix mouseX/Y mapping when using smaller screen sizes.
+ Fix text ascent/descent problem, text("blah\nblah") wasn't working.
+ Fixed how the manifest file is read/written.
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1429
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=221
+ Copied the XML and font changes from the desktop version of core.
+ Removing 'import processing.opengl.*' in the preprocessor, since it's
not needed, and will cause a conflict.
+ Added functions to lock orientation if necessary. Use:
orientation(LANDSCAPE) and orientation(PORTRAIT) if you need control.
+ createGraphics() works with A3D/P3D/OPENGL for phones that support it.
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1488
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=240
+ Fix errors showing up that .java files were duplicates.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=232
[ core ]
+ Changed skewX/Y to shearX/Y.
+ ENABLE_NATIVE_FONTS was being ignored, native fonts were always used
in some cases. However, this broke some other things. But that's why
this is a pre-release, not a final.
[ xml fixes and changes ]
+ Changed the XML constructor to take a String for a node name, instead of
parsing a document from a String. Instead, use XMLElement.parse(String)
if you want to read a file.
+ Added getBoolean() methods.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=304
+ Removed namespace versions of the getXxxx() methods. These were never
documented, and cause more trouble than they're worth.
+ Changing getIntAttribute() et al to getInt(). The old versions are still
there, but have been deprecated.
+ Added listChildren() method.
+ XML attributes named "xmlns" always returned NULL, now fixed.
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1196
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=166
+ When re-saving an .ods file, wasn't including all the namespace at the top.
+ Several fixes to how namespaces are handled (or not handled).
+ Methods to saved XML elements back out again.
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=963
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=126
+ Update XMLElement constructor problem.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=342
[ environment ]
+ Added more specific language to Lnux/Sun/Java error messages on Linux.
Also added support for "Oracle" in the name.
+ Fix the New/Open buttons on the toolbar
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=323
+ Changed how "Save As" works, now copies everything in the sketch folder.
But still ignores applet, application.*, screen-* files/folders
+ Edit > Copy as HTML didn't properly encode < and >
Also added support for other Unicode entities for non-ASCII characters.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=351
+ Ctrl-Z will undo, but not scroll to where the undo happens. Fixed earlier.

PROCESSING REV 0187 - 12 July 2010


More bug fixes, and one new treat for OS X users. Hopefully we're about
set to call this one 1.2. Please test and report any issues you find:
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/list
[ additions ]
+ On Mac OS X, you're no longer required to have a sketch window open at
all times. This will make the application feel more Mac-like--a little
more elegant and trendy and smug with superiority.
+ Added a warning to the Linux version to tell users that they should be
using the official version of Java from Sun if they're not.
http://wiki.processing.org/w/Supported_Platforms#Linux
There isn't a perfect way to detect whether Sun Java is in use,
so please let us know how it works or if you have a better idea.
[ fixes ]
+ "Unexpected token" error when creating classes with recent pre-releases.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=292
+ Prevent horizontal scroll offset from disappearing.
Thanks to Christian Thiemann for the fix.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=280
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=10
+ Fix NullPointerException when making a new sketch on non-English systems.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=283
+ Fixed a problem when using command-line arguments with exported sketches
on Windows. Thanks to davbol for the fix.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=303
+ Added requestFocusInWindow() call to replace Apple's broken requestFocus(),
which should return the previous behavior of sketches getting focus
immediately when loaded in a web browser.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=279
+ Add getDocumentBase() version of createInput() for Internet Explorer.
Without this, sketches will crash when trying to find files on a web server
that are not in the exported .jar file. This fix is only for IE. Yay IE!

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
PROCESSING REV 0186 - 26 June 2010
Minor updates following up on 0185.
[ mixed bag ]
+ Android SDK requirement is now API 7 (Android 2.1), because Google has
deprecated API 6 (2.0.1).
+ More Linux PDF fixes from Matthias Breuer. Thanks!
+ PDF library matrix not reset between frames. (Fixed in 0185.)
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1227
+ Updated the URLs opened by the software to reflect the new site layout.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=278

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

PROCESSING REV 0185 - 20 June 2010


Primarily a bug fix release. The biggest change are a couple tweaks for
problems caused by Apple's Update 2 for Java on OS X, so this should make
Processing usable on Macs again.
[ bug fixes ]
+ Fix for Apple bug that caused an assertion failure when requestFocus()
was called in some situations. This was causing the PDE to become unusable
for opening sketches, and focus highlighting was no longer happening.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=258
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1564
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1569
+ Fixed two bugs with fonts created with specific charsets.
+ Fix from jdf for PImage(java.awt.Image img) and ARGB images
public PImage(java.awt.Image) was setting the format to RGB (even if ARGB)
+ Large number of beginShape(POINTS) not rendering correctly on first frame
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1572
+ Fix for PDF library and createFont() on Linux, thanks to Matthias Breuer.
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1566
+ Fix from takachin for a problem with full-width space with Japanese IME.
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1531
+ Reset matrix for the PDF library in-between frames
also added begin/endDraw between frames
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1227
[ additions ]
+ Add the changes for "Copy as HTML" to replace the "Copy for Discourse"
function, now that we've shut down the old YaBB discourse board.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=271
+ Option to disable re-opening sketches when you start Processing.
The default will stay the same, but if you don't like the feature,
alter your preferences.txt file to change:
last.sketch.restore=true
to the following:
last.sketch.restore=false
The issue was originally filed here:
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1501
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=245
However the main problem with this is that due to other errors, the wrong
sketches are being opened, sketches are sometimes forgotten, or windows
are opened concurrently on top of one another, creating a bad situation:
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=177
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=179
Those bugs are not yet fixed, but will be addressed in future releases.
+ Option to change the default naming of sketches via preferences.txt.
First, you can change the prefix, which defaults to:
editor.untitled.prefix=sketch_
And the suffix is handled using dates. The current default (since 1.0) is:
editor.untitled.suffix=MMMdd
Or if you want to switch back to the old (six digit) style, you could use:
editor.untitled.suffix=yyMMdd
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1091
+ Updated bundled JRE/tools to 6u20 for Windows and Linux
+ Several SVG fixes and additions, including some tweaks from PhiLho. These
changes will be documented in a future release once the API changes are
complete.
+ Added option to launch a sketch directly w/ linux. Thanks to Larry Kyrala.
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1549
+ Pass actual exceptions from InvocationTargetException in registered
methods, which improves how exceptions are reported with libraries.
+ Added loading.gif to the js version of the applet loader. Not sure
if this is actually working or not, but it's there.
[ android ]
+ Added permissions for INTERNET and WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE to the default
AndroidManifest.xml file. This will be addressed in greater detail here:
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=275
And with the implementation of code signing here:
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=222
+ Lots of work happening underneath with regards to Android, more updates
soon as things start evening out a bit.
+ Defaulting to a WVGA screen for the default Processing AVD.

Pre-release version with more bug fixes. Proper release notes will
accompany an actual release. If you're curious in the meantime, look
at todo.txt and done.txt from the source tree.
+ The 'Export' option now works in Android, so that you can get at
the debug APK that's created.
+ Problems finding javac.exe on Windows should now be fixed.

PROCESSING REV 0182 - 29 March 2010


Bug fix pre-release. This updates three areas:
+ All known bugs with auto-format have been fixed (!)
+ A handful of bug fixes for the Java 5 syntax changes.
+ Fixes for using text with PDF Export.
A more thorough revisions update will be written for the next full
release version (1.2? 1.5? 2.0?) that includes all these changes.

PROCESSING REV 0180 - 15 March 2010


This is a interim release with a reworked preprocessor that adds Java 5
syntax. We're releasing this interim version because we need help testing
it since it has an impact on any sketch created in the Processing environment.
Basically, we mighta goofed something up big, and we wanna catch it before
we throw it to the wolves.
The release also fixes a number of preprocessor bugs. Those changes will
be documented a bit later.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

PROCESSING 1.1 (REV 0179) - 11 March 2010


This is the first general-purpose release since 1.0.9. The text below merges
all of the changes from all the interim revisions, with the exception of the
changes for the upcoming Android tools, which are not enabled in this release.
Lots of bug fixes over 1.0.9, and several changes that improve how fonts are
handled. Because of the large number of changes (and that some functionality
actually changes, if that's actually a word), this is release 1.1 instead
of release 1.0.10. Which is nice, because release 1.0.10 sounds baffling.
[ font changes ]
+ It's no longer necessary to use textFont() before text() and other
text-handling functions. The default "SansSerif" font is used, which
varies by platform.
+ Also in this release, the createFont() method will only load characters
as they are used, which should greatly improve the font situation on
non-Roman systems like Japanese. This will use far less memory, and should
be all around much more efficient. Formerly, createFont() took several
seconds to run, depending on the speed of your system.
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1111
+ Fixed a problem with the Create Font tool ignoring the 'smooth' setting
on some systems.
+ Fixed a separate problem with the createFont() method also ignoring the
'smooth' setting.
+ With the Create Font tool, you can also specify what Unicode character
blocks you'd like to use, making a much smaller font.
+ Fonts are no longer power of 2 by default. This should also make them more
memory efficient. With future OpenGL updates, this will work even better.
[ other changes ]
+ Lots of edits to the HTML that's used for exported applets. If JavaScript
is enabled, Sun's new loading functions are used, which offer the best
compatibility across browsers. If not, the old loading method is used.
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1057
+ Changed the OpenGL HTML template to load differently, which should fix a
NullPointerException in JOGLAppletLanucher with Java 6 Update 18 on Windows,
and should also be more efficient altogether, because the JOGL libraries can
be downloaded just once from Sun, rather than for each sketch that uses them.
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1452
+ Code from Takachin that handles full input method support in the editor for
Japanese and other scripts that are more complicated than Roman text.
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=854
Thanks Takachin!
+ Now using iText 2.1.7.
+ Changed how imports are handled in sketches. This may break some sketches
that use java.xxx packages that aren't covered in the Processing reference.
+ With great help from Hansi, moved the build scripts over to Ant.
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=151
Also moved the special JRE for Linux and Windows out of SVN. It'll only be
downloaded when 'ant dist' is run.
+ Javadoc is slowly improving. More on that later.
+ Deprecated 'screen', and added screenWidth and screenHeight. Discussion here:
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1499

+ Fix for filter(DILATE/ERODE) from Dave Bollinger
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1477

Found and fixed by Christian Thiemann. Thank you!
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1466
+ Fix from Chris Lonnen to lock the minimum size for the main processing editor
frame. (When too small, the console would disappear, etc.) Thanks Chris!
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=25
+ If you overwrite PApplet.main(), you're responsible for what happens.
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1446
+ Re-enabled hack for temporary clipping. Clipping still needs to be
implemented properly, however. Please help!

+ Fixed a problem where imports inside comments were being included.
[ keys ]
+ Added ctrl-ins, shift-ins, shift-delete for cut/copy/paste on Windows and
Linux, but disabled by default on Mac OS X. You can change the setting by
altering "editor.keys.alternative_cut_copy_paste" in preferences.txt.
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=162
+ Added a preference to change shift-backspace to just mean backspace,
rather than delete. Set this entry in preferences.txt:
editor.keys.shift_backspace_is_delete = true
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1463
+ Added an option for home and end keys traveling to the start/end of the
current line rather than the beginning/ending of a sketch. The latter is
the HIG default for Mac OS X, but drives some people nuts. Change with:
editor.keys.home_and_end_travel_far = false

PROCESSING REV 0178 - 4 March 2010


Tons of Android work in this release. A2D has been tested and runs correctly
for all of the examples in "Basics" and "Topics". A3D is not quite finished

PROCESSING REV 0177 - 21 February 2010


Fix for the Android tools complaining "Open quote is expected for
attribute "{1}" associated with an element type android:minSdkVersion."
Just posting a new revision because it's easier than writing instructions
for swapping the pde.jar file.

PROCESSING REV 0176 - 20 February 2010


Android changes are at the top, changes for the rest of Processing are listed
below that (a tipoff being that there's no PDF library on Android...)
[ android ]
+ Minimum platform support is changing to 2.0 instead of 1.6. That means
"Eclair" or later, and goodbye to my T-Mobile G1, undoubtedly the ugliest
cell phone I have ever owned. Hello to Droid and Nexus One.
Performance is very poor on pre-2.0 devices anyway.
+ Known issue: Sketches that use noLoop() are currently broken.
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1467
+ Added support for libraries and the code folder.
+ Classes have moved to the processing.core package instead of
processing.android.core.
+ Slashes in the SDK path are now escaped properly on Windows.
+ Fix problems preventing Android Mode from running on Windows
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1432
+ The tint() method now works.
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1435
+ loadFont() and text() now work properly. createFont() has not been tested.
[ changes ]
+ Lots of edits to the HTML that's used for exported applets. If JavaScript
is enabled, Sun's new loading functions are used, which offer the best
compatibility across browsers. If not, the old loading method is used.
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1057
+ Changed the OpenGL HTML template to load differently, which should fix a
NullPointerException in JOGLAppletLanucher with Java 6 Update 18 on Windows,
and should also be more efficient altogether, because the JOGL libraries can
be downloaded just once from Sun, rather than for each sketch that uses them.
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1452
+ Code from Takachin that handles full input method support in the editor for
Japanese and other scripts that are more complicated than Roman text.
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=854
Thanks Takachin!
+ Downgraded the PDF library to use iText 1.5.4, because later versions seem
to load slower, and don't seem to offer additional benefits. If the PDF
library gets worse, please post a bug and we'll go back to the 2.x release
we were using, or upgrade to the more recent 5.x series.
+ Changed how imports are handled in sketches. This may break some sketches
that use java.xxx packages that aren't covered in the Processing reference.
+ With great help from Hansi, moved the build scripts over to Ant.
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=151
Also moved the special JRE for Linux and Windows out of SVN. It'll only be
downloaded when 'ant dist' is run. This makes the build and maintenance
more of a mess for me, but will save me from people whining about the
large files.
+ Javadoc is slowly improving. More on that later.
[ bug fixes ]
+ Updated JNA to version 3.2.4 to support Windows 7 64-bit
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1424
Thanks to Maik for tracking down the problem and solution!
+ Fix from taifun_browser to handle texture memory leak with OpenGL and P3D.
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1423
+ Hitting ESC inside Color Selector would quit Processing
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1006
+ To fix video, and some other libraries on Snow Leopard, exported applications
are now explicitly set to run 32-bit on OS X.
+ Fix LITERAL_class so that blah.class syntax can be used in PDE code.
Found and fixed by Christian Thiemann. Thank you!
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1466
+ Fix from Chris Lonnen to lock the minimum size for the main processing editor
frame. (When too small, the console would disappear, etc.) Thanks Chris!
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=25
+ If you overwrite PApplet.main(), you're responsible for what happens.
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1446
[ keys ]
+ Added ctrl-ins, shift-ins, shift-delete for cut/copy/paste on Windows and
Linux, but disabled by default on Mac OS X. You can change the setting by
altering "editor.keys.alternative_cut_copy_paste" in preferences.txt.
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=162
+ Changed shift-backspace to just mean backspace, rather than delete. You
can change back to the old behavior by setting this entry in preferences.txt:
editor.keys.shift_backspace_is_delete = true
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1463
+ Added an option for home and end keys traveling to the start/end of the
current line rather than the beginning/ending of a sketch. The latter is
the HIG default for Mac OS X, but drives some people nuts. Change with:
editor.keys.home_and_end_travel_far = false
[ fonts ]
+ Starting in this release, the createFont() method will only load characters
as they are used, which should greatly improve the font situation on
non-Roman systems like Japanese. This will use far less memory, and should
be all around much more efficient. Formerly, createFont() took several
seconds to run, depending on the speed of your system.
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1111
+ Fixed a problem with the Create Font tool ignoring the 'smooth' setting
on some systems.
+ Fixed a separate problem with the createFont() method also ignoring the
'smooth' setting.
+ With the Create Font tool, you can also specify what Unicode character
blocks you'd like to use, making a much smaller font.
+ Fonts are no longer power of 2 by default. This should also make them more
memory efficient. With future OpenGL updates, this will work even better.

PROCESSING 1.0.8 (REV 0170) - 18 October 2009


A bonfire of bug fixes.
[ environment ]
+ Fix bug causing preferences to not save correctly.
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1320
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1322
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1325

http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1337
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1344
+ Remove menu dimming code, in-frame menu bar, and warning message on OS X.
A year later, Apple fixed the spinning wheel w/ the menu bar problem.
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=786
+ Fix "Unrecognized option: -d32" on OS X 10.4
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1324
+ Update the outdated "Get the latest Java Plug-in here" in exported applets.
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1331
+ Use temporary files when saving files inside the PDE. Prevents problems
when the save goes badly (e.g. disk is full).
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=967
+ Fix problem with "Save changes before closing?" was being ignored.
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1193

as an existing tab was deleting code on Windows and OS X.
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1102
[ core ]
+ filter(RGB) supposed to be filter(OPAQUE)
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1346
+ Implement non-power-of-2 textures for OpenGL (on cards where available).
This is a partial fix for texture edge problems:
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=602
+ Fix get() when used with save() in OpenGL mode
+ Immediately update projection with OpenGL. In the past, projection
updates required a new frame. This also prevents camera/project from
being reset when the drawing size is changed.
+ Removed an error that caused the cameraNear value to be set to -8.
This may cause other problems with drawing/clipping however.
+ Removed methods from PApplet that use doubles. These were only temporarily
available in SVN, but that's that.
+ Use temporary file with saveStrings(File) and saveBytes(File).
[ updates ]
+ Updated to Minim 2.0.2. (Thanks Damien!)
http://code.compartmental.net/tools/minim
+ Updated Java on Linux and Windows to 6u16.

PROCESSING 1.0.7 (REV 0169) - 4 September 2009


Bug fixes and updates, also some tweaks for Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
[ changes ]
+ Tweaks for Mac OS X Snow Leopard, to force it to run in 32-bit mode.
This should bring back the video library (if temporarily), and hopefully
fix serial as well, though I didn't have a serial device handy to test.
+ Fix problem where line highlighting was off in 'static' mode.
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1263
+ Auto-format was killing Unicode characters (how did this last so long?)
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1312
+ PVector.angleDistance() returning NaN due to precision errors
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1316
+ Removed a major try/catch block from PApplet.main(), hopefully
this will allow some exception stuff to come through properly.

PROCESSING 1.0.4 (REV 0166) - 31 May 2009


Bug fix release.
[ changes ]
+ Changed the workaround for Apple's Java bug related to the menus in OS X.
Rather than placing the menubar inside the sketch window, File > Sketchbook
and File > Examples are simply dimmed out. Instead, use the Open button
on the toolbar, which provides access to the same items. The preference
to place the menu bar inside the window is still available, in case you
prefer the previous workaround.

Many thanks to Pablo Funes for the patch
+ Fix significant point() and set() slowdown on OS X
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1094
[ known issues ]

simply need to replace the Java folder with the distribution with something
more suitable for your operating system.
+ Command line support is currently broken
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1048
+ Text of menus/interface elements sometimes mangled (e.g. toolbar repeats

PROCESSING 1.0 (REV 0162) - 24 November 2008


Processing 1.0 has arrived! You can read an overview of changes introduced
in the last few months here: http://processing.org/reference/changes.html
[ known issues ]
+ Sketches that size(w, h, OPENGL) and do not clear the background on each
frame can cause major flickering or problems when the screen clears anyway.
There are several possible solutions:
1. You may need to disable the default 2x smoothing by using
hint(DISABLE_OPENGL_2X_SMOOTH).
2. Update the drivers for your graphics card.
3. Get a decent graphics card -- the OpenGL renderer is for advanced
use, we don't support using it with cheaper built-in graphics hardware
like the Intel GMA 950.
4. If you're running Windows Vista, try disabling the Aero theme.
This flickering issue is being tracked here:
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1056
+ "An error occurred while starting the application" when launching
Processing.exe on Windows. This is a high priority however we cannot
reproduce it on any of our test machines, which has delayed a fix.
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=986
+ With P2D, P3D, and OPENGL, series of connected lines (such as the stroke
around a polygon, triangle, or ellipse) produce unattractive results when
strokeWeight is set.
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=955
+ Unlike most applications, the menu bar is inside the editor window when
Processing is used with Mac OS X 10.5. This is a workaround for an Apple
bug in Java 1.5 and 1.6 on Mac OS X 10.5 that causes the menu bar to be
so excessively slow that the application appears to have crashed.
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=786
Please file a bug report with Apple at bugreporter.apple.com if you want
this fixed. The problem has existed since the spring, and we first filed
a bug with them in June, and we have received no indication that it when
it will be fixed, or if it will ever be fixed.
Or if you want to take your chances with the slow menu bar,
you can change the default setting in the Preferences window.
+ Sketches that use the video library plus OpenGL have a problem on some
OS X machines. The workaround is listed in Comment #16 of this bug:
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=882#c16
+ Command line support arrived in a recent release, but is not working yet.
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1048
+ OpenGL rendering is more dim/darker in release 0149 and later.
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=958
Any help tracking this down would be most appreciated.
+ The first few frames of OpenGL sketches on Windows run slowly.
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=874
+ When used with P3D, strokeWeight does not interpolate the Z-coordinates
of the lines, which means that when rotated, these flat lines may
disappear. (Since, uh, lines are, you know, flat.) The OPENGL renderer
setting does not share this problem because it always draws lines
perpendicular to the screen (which we hope to do in a future release).

in spite of their historical feel good campiness, i've removed the


notes from earlier releases because this file was getting out of hand.
