Reference link broken?

I've installed Processing 2.0a8 and receive the following when I click on the Reference link under Help:

Could not open the URL

file://C:\processing-2.0a8\modes\java\reference\index.html

Java error is:

java.net.URISyntaxException: Illegal character in authority at index 7: file://C:\processing-2.0a8\modes\java\reference\index.html

at java.net.URI$Parser.fail(URI.java:2810)

etc...

I've confirmed that the files are there.

Thanks for any help!

The " C" is the illegal character... it's probably a bug, because adding another " /" character (to make " file:///") should fix the problem. 2.0a7 doesn't have the error...

Thanks for looking into this. Hopefully it will be fixed in an upcoming release...

Thanks,

Is there a workaround?

I couldn't find it in preferences.txt (or preferences)

Huh. I'm just tested Processing 2.0a8 for Windows (64 bit) and the link is correct. For a workaround... is manually changing the link not sufficient? How about using the online reference instead?

I can't find it in preferences.txt either. I don't mind using the online reference, but for classroom use, the built in links would be much easier.

Thanks,

Would like to see it fixed soon too. I develop on a laptop that doesn't have 'net connectivity most of the time. I've created a link to the file folder on my desktop, but it's unwieldy ...

Cheers

Perhaps someone with this problem should open an issue.

It's fixed with the release of 2.0b1.
