Processing Versions Save

PROCESSING 3.3.5 (REV 0262) - 23 June 2017

Fixes for a couple problems introduced in the last release.


[ everything that went bad ] 

+ Console window was only remembering two lines of text 
  because of a name collision in the preferences handling.
  https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/5110
  
+ Something went wrong with the 64-bit Linux release:
  "libjli.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" 
  https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/5111

+ "Could not parse -1 for --display" message on some Windows machines
  https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/5118
  https://github.com/processing/processing/pull/5141


[ some new things hopefully going good ]

+ Fix a NullPointerException that showed up with textWidth() and OpenGL
  https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/5137
  https://github.com/processing/processing/pull/5138

+ Per request, use native file choosers by default on Linux. I'm told
  that the default Linux file choosers have grown up in the last decade. 
  I'm trusting the person who is making that claim and making them default.
  https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/5122
  To get the old behavior in the Editor, change preferences.txt to say:
  chooser.files.native = false
  Or in your code, add this line:
  useNativeSelect = false;

PROCESSING 3.3.4 (REV 0261) - 3 June 2017

PROCESSING 3.3.1 (REV 0258) - 23 April 2017

+ Several bug fixes have been implemented for high-res display support
  on Windows and Linux

+ Several updates from Gottfried for ARM devices like Raspberry Pi and CHIP

PROCESSING 3.3 (REV 0257) - 12 February 2017

This release adds the ability to the scale the UI or high-resolution
(known as HiDPI) screens on Windows and Linux. Sketches don't scale yet,
but this will at least make the Editor and Contribution Manager usable
again on more recent Windows and Linux laptops.

Note: the scaling feature is only meant to patch up problems on HiDPI
devices, it does not provide an all-purpose means for scaling UI elements
independent of the OS.

This release also attempts to fix several other Windows bugs, detailed
below. The "unconfirmed" fixes section is a handful of issues that I've
never been able to reproduce, but that should now be fixed. Please
confirm at the links listed to let me know if it's working.

This is release 3.3 instead of 3.2.5 due to the huge change to the PDE
for scaling, as well as minor API modifications (see below). 


[ big fixes ]

+ PDE was too small on high-res Windows and Linux machines. If you're
  having trouble with this, change the "Interface scaling" option in
  the Preferences window. On Windows, it will attempt to auto-detect. 
  https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/2411
  https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/4183


[ unconfirmed fixes ]

+ Visual artifacts on Windows 10 when using menus
  https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/4700

+ Broken characters in the Welcome Page and the Contribution Manager
  https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/4747

+ Add a dialog box to warn Windows users about NVIDIA driver problems
  https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/4853

+ Blank window on startup where the "Welcome" screen should be
  https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/3933


[ minor fixes ]

+ Prevent unnecessary 'file not found' errors in the console during Export


[ fixed earlier ]

+ Contribution Manager does not show all libraries until filter cleared
  https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/4840


[ changes to core ]

+ StringDict(TableRow) constructor to create a dictionary from a table row

+ Allow lone double quotes in the midst of CSV strings. This improves
  compatibility with spreadsheets exported from Google Sheets. 

+ Return null (rather than NullPointerException) for PApplet.trim(null)

+ Make trim() work on column titles as well

+ Make Table.trim() also remove unused rows and columns. This will remove
  extra rows or columns at the beginning as well, since that's what trim()
  does to whitespace on strings.

+ Consume Unicode BOM (0xFEFF) in createReader() and Table parser

+ Return null for getString(), getJSONObject(), and getJSONArray()
  when key is not present, more in line w/ other API

+ Several fixes for memory leaks from jdf
  https://github.com/processing/processing/pull/4862
  https://github.com/jdf/processing.py/issues/233
  https://github.com/processing/processing/pull/4873

  Replace java.util.logging code with built-in logging.

PROCESSING 3.2.3 (REV 0255) - 7 November 2016

  area when a URL was showing was problematic because it's also the separator
  used to adjust the relative size of the two panels.

  different depending on the platform, and no 112 fixes are known useful.

  https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/4680

+ Add toJSON() method to the data classes (IntDict, FloatDict, StringDict,
  IntList, FloatList, and StringList). Returns an object of one of those
  six types as a JSON-formatted String. For something more like the old
  toString() behavior, use print().
