ABOUT REV 0137 - 30 May 2008

This release is an addendum to 0136, please read the notes on that
version if you have not already.

To be clear, we're moving to Java 1.5 for everything: the Processing
environment and for sketches created with it. We don't have enough
people to support it, and for a project of our size, we should be
focusing on the future, rather than working around legacy Java code.
In addition, Java 1.5 gives us access to better timing facilities
which will improve the steadiness of animation.

The "expert" version for Windows has been discontinued temporarily,
while we work out issues with the new runner setup. It may return
for a future release, but require a full JDK download, instead of
just JRE as in the past.

[ bug fixes ]

+ Fix classpath problem with processing.exe. This was a
 major flaw in 0136 prevented applications from running.
 Not sure how this one made it out of Quality Control.
 Today I'm gonna have to fire the guy who runs the
 Processing Release Testing And Quality Assurance Center.

+ Huge jar files when exporting with a code folder.
 (Huge like the PDE trying to zip up everything on your disk.)

+ Fix support for the "synchronized" keyword in the preprocessor.

[ changes ]

+ Use multiple JAR files whenever
 1) a lib is in use, 2) code folder, 3) multiple files
 This will prevent MANIFEST collisions, especially when used
 with the code folder.

+ Removed oro.jar dependency (not needed with PApplet.match())

+ Added improvements to the linux startup script contributed
 by forum user 'neitsch'. (Thanks neitsch!)

+ Update preferences.txt whenever opening sketches. If you have
 to forcibly quit the application (as a certain P5 developer often
 does), it will at least remember which sketches were running.

+ The openStream() method has been renamed to createInput(), and
 openStream() itself has been deprecated. This was actually done
 in 0136. In addition, a createOutput() method has been added
 that creates an OutputStream.
