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.
  http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=786

+ Also updated the included runtime on Windows and Linux to Java 6u14.

[ bug fixes ]

+ Fixed IDE crash when changing color scheme on windows 
  http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1237

+ Typo in the Linux shell script was preventing it from running
  http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1250

+ OS X finder info on application updated to say 1.0.4
  http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1226

+ Removed warning message "Non-String for 8 value in 'Properties' 
  sub-dictionary in 'Java' sub-dictionary of Info.plist" on OS X

+ Added warning to build script for users on OS X 10.4
  http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1179

+ Disable point() going to set() from PGraphicsJava2D. The set() command 
  doesn't honor alpha consistently, and it also causes problems with PDF

+ PImage cacheMap problem when using PImage.get() 
  http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1245

+ Fix problems with > 512 points and P3D/OPENGL
  http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1255
  Thanks to user DopeShow for the patch

+ imageMode(CENTER) doesn't work properly with P2D
  http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1232

+ Reset matrices when using beginRecord() with PDF
  http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1227

+ Resizing window no longer distorts OpenGL graphics
  http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1176
  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 ] 

+ Currently no 64-bit support for any platforms. On some platforms, you'll 
  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
  several times, other oddness). See bug report for a workaround
  http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1065

PROCESSING 1.0.1 (REV 0163) - 29 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

Also see the "known issues" section of the troubleshooting page:
http://processing.org/reference/troubleshooting/#known

This release (1.0.1) fixes a handful of issues that only showed up once we 
had more testing, particularly with the wider audience we've received in the
past week following the announcement.

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.
