ABOUT REV 0141 - 11 June 2008
This release fixes some issues found in the previous release, and changes to UTF-8 encoding when loading and saving sketches. The latter is a major change, please read below.
While this release should be more stable than 0140, releases since 0135 may be closer to alpha quality. If this is your first release since 0135, ** please read all the release notes below ** as there have been many changes, and there are a handful of known bugs.
[ utf8 encoding ]
+ For better internationalization support, we've changed to UTF-8 encoding when loading and saving sketches. http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=743
+ Sketches that contain non-ASCII characters and were saved with Processing 0140 and earlier may look strange when opened. Garbled text and odd characters may appear where umlauts, cedillas, and Japanese formerly lived. If this happens, use the "Fix Encoding & Reload" option under the Tools menu. This will reload your sketch using the same method as previous versions of Processing, at which point you can re-save it which will write a proper UTF-8 version.
+ Once you've converted a sketch to UTF-8, it will look similarly garbled if you use a release of Processing earlier than 0141.
[ fixes and changes ]
+ Hiding some unncessary warnings when compiling since they looked too much like errors. For instance, "xxxx uses unsafe operations", and "recompile with -Xlint:xxxx". http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=817
+ Fix getChild() and getChildren() to properly handle namespaces in the XML library. http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=813
