ABOUT REV 0062 - 24 september 2003
this release primarily introduces new features. it is the third
release in three days, as i'm pushing to get features out and
available rather than getting held up in a long release like some of
the others have been. this pace of releases will not continue, and is
only happening while i have time to work on the environment.
releases 61 and 62 are suggested downloads, since they fix minor bugs
or add features, as opposed to a more strongly recommended update like
revision 60.
people who haven't used 60 yet should refer to its release notes for
changes that you'll need to make to your programs in order to work in
releases 60 and later.
[ changes & additions ]
- "add files" menu command as a simpler way to add files to your
sketch folder than navigating through the explorer.
- a built-in font creator has been added, available from the sketch
menu. this tool will allow you to create your own fonts, and add
them directly to your sketch. you can also use 'add files' to add
fonts from the 'fonts' folder. however, the fonts folder will be
removed in a future release.
- no more digging for sketches.. "show sketch folder" opens up the
folder of the current sketch using the finder on the mac or the
windows explorer on windows.
- after exporting a sketch, automatically open the applet folder that
was just created.
- some modification to the menu layouts, i.e. "clear history" is now
part of the history menu itself.
- switched back to a more red color for errors in the console.
the yellow was an accident. but again, it's editable in 'lib' ->
pde.properties if you liked the yellow or want something else.
[ bug fixes ]
- finally found the problem with showing reference on macosx and fixed
it. this had eluded me for a while since it was working ok on my own
machine, but thanks to timothy mohn for harrassing me into fixing it.
[ known problems ]
- have been moved to the 'bugs.txt' file. check there for the status
of your favorite bug/feature.
