ABOUT REV 0131 - 22 October 2007

More bug fixes, and ironing out the New/Open behavior.

[ bug fixes ]

+ Fixed "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: quicktime/std/StdQTException"
 error when using video code on Windows with releases 0126 and later.

+ Finally fixed problems with the net library, where disconnecting
 a client would hose the server. Also cleaned up some other nastiness
 in the networking code.

+ Fixed hint(DISABLE_DEPTH_TEST) with OpenGL.

+ Fix minor bug in saveStream() (not a documented function).

[ changes ]

+ When used from the toolbar in a Processing window, New and Open will
 replace the sketch in the current window. When used from the menu
 (or via key commands) they'll open a new window. This seems to be a
 better in-between from our old sketchbook model, and the way most
 applications behave.

+ On Mac OS X, a blank sketch will open after the last sketch is
 closed. On Windows, closing the last sketch will quit the program.
 These default behaviors can be overridden in the Preferences dialog.
 There is no way to have a menu bar without an open window in a
 Java application, which is what's expected for Mac OS X apps.
 (Java comes from the X11 world, where menu bars are inside windows)
 This split behavior (with a preference to override) is our best
 attempt at a compromise.

+ Added support for full-screen anti-aliasing with OpenGL. This is
 enabled via the hint() mechanism because it has several tradeoffs
 and its behavior across video cards varies. Use the options
 hint(ENABLE_OPENGL_2X_SMOOTH) or hint(ENABLE_OPENGL_4X_SMOOTH)
 immediately after the size() command to get lovely smooth results.
 Read the caveats in the documentation for hint(). Thanks to Mike
 Creighton and others who figured out this method earlier.

+ Updated the JOGL release to 1.1.0 (with 1.1.1 probably on the way
 in the next few days or weeks).

+ Add gluegen-rt back to the applet export for OpenGL.

+ Added documentation for hint() and unhint().

+ Removed auto-delete of empty sketches from the sketchbook. This is
 no longer necessary with the regular New/Open/Save model, so it's
 best to leave it out, rather than have it go awry in some way.

+ Added a disconnectEvent() for the net library Client class, which
 is fired whenever a client...disconnects.

+ Made a few more fields public in the Client and Server classes.
