ABOUT REV 0145 - 15 August 2008

This release contains several changes to fix issues related to timing
in sketches. The animation loop has been tuned and several bugs have
been ironed out.

* RECENT RELEASES CONTAIN MANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGES, PLEASE READ THE *
*    NOTES IN THIS FILE FOR ANY RELEASE THAT YOU'VE NOT YET USED.   *

[ known problems ]

+ Slow response on file/sketchbook/examples menus on OS X 10.5.
 This is 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:
 http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=786
 If you find this annoying, please file a bug at bugreporter.apple.com.

+ Intermittent problem where sketches will not start when the Run
 button is pressed some fraction of the time. On a single try,
 it may not work, but subsequent clicks to the Run button will bring
 things back.. So far, this is limited to Mac OS X, but it's
 known to be a threading issue, and is likely to show up elsewhere.
 http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=852

+ This release will be incompatible with other libraries that create
 their own PGraphics objects, such as the current release (0.8.1)
 of Andres Colubri's GLGraphics library. (Though by the time you read
 this, it may be updated.)

+ There are many other known problems, these are only a few that you're
 likely to run into because they have appeared in recent releases.

[ changes ]

+ Now using JOGL 1.1.1 instead of 1.0. This should bring us out of the
 dark ages for JOGL, but may require some people to upgrade the drivers
 on their graphics cards.

+ Don't say I didn't warn ya: loadImageAsync() is now requestImage(),
 which is its final naming. Documentation has not yet been added,
 but will be added soon. For syntax, see the notes for 0144 (below).

+ Added sphereDetail(u, v) function contributed by davbol (Thanks Dave!)
 http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=856

+ Implemented textAlign() for y coordinates with text(str, x, y, w, h)

+ textAlign(BOTTOM) now takes textDescent() into account.

+ Fix indentation problems in "Copy for Discourse" by inserting unicode
 non-breaking space characters (\u00A0) at the beginning of lines.
 This works on many (Internet Explorer, Safari) but not all (Firefox
 and Camino on Mac OS X) browsers.

[ bug fixes ]

+ "Use textFont() before text" message (see the link for fixes)
 http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=726

+ fill(), stroke(), strokeWeight(), colorMode(), smooth() and any other
 drawing state set inside setup() sometimes not set once draw() arrives
 http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=767
 This is related to the previous issue (Bug #726)

+ Implement major threading overhaul
 http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=511

+ Window resize no longer nukes settings (stroke, font, etc.)

+ Inconsistent "Use textFont() before text()" errors.
 textFont() used in setup() is null once draw() arrives
 http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=726

+ fill(), stroke(), strokeWeight(), colorMode(), smooth() and others
 set inside setup() sometimes not set once draw() arrives.
 http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=767

+ Applet sizing issues with external vm
 http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=430

+ ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException in P3D inside defaults/background/clear
 http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=369

+ Clear up EDT vs. Processing Animation Thread issues
 http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=46

+ Sketches lock up when system time is changed (e.g. by speedstep and
 other processor throttling utilities). No longer using the system clock.
 http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=639

+ frameRate that's reported is out of joint with actual.
 http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=512
 Now using a nanosecond (rather than millisecond) timer.

+ frameRate() speeds up temporarily if CPU load drops dramatically.
 http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=297

+ Fix the flicker with the default renderer (JAVA2D)
 http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=122

+ text(String, float, float, float, float) drawing text outside box
