ABOUT REV 0142 - 16 June 2008

A couple minor changes from 0141, though they have a big impact on
reducing the "cannot parse error message" text from the compiler.
Please read the "about" notes from 0136 through 0141 before using
this release.

[ fixes/changes ]

+ Fixed "cannot parse error text" for many, many situations.
 http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=820

+ Fixed a problem with errors that are at the end of the code.
 For instance, a missing } put the error /after/ the code,
 which itself produced another error.

+ Web colors with more or less than 6 chars produced bizarre error.

+ Update iText in PDF library to 2.1.2u, in a failed attempt to fix
 http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=727

+ loadStrings(".") no longer lists directory contents.

[ not yet fixed ]

+ "Target VM failed to initialize: VM initialization failed" on run
 This happens because Java is not properly getting the machine's
 internet address. Workaround is to shut off networking:

+ Slow response on file/sketchbook/examples menus on OS X 10.5.
 There appears to be an Apple bug in Java 1.5 and 1.6 on
 Mac OS X 10.5 (but not 10.4) causing these menus to be extremely
 slow. Workarounds described in the bug report:

+ Sometimes, nothing happens when you hit Run (no error displayed)
