Processing 4.4.3 Pre-release
Pre-release

Fixes some issues people have spotted in 4.4.1 and 4.4.2, plus some quality of life and infrastructure improvements.

Sketches will now looks super crisp by default on higher DPI displays (#1038). Use pixelDensity(1) in setup() if you need to revert to the old default behavior.

This release also resolves a long-standing issue where Processing could freeze at startup when indexing very large sketchbooks (#1037)

A note for Linux users: with this release, processing-java is being replaced by processing cli. If this breaks anything, consider setting an alias.

Processing 4.4.0 Pre-release
Pre-release

Happy Pi Day!

Today we are finally releasing Processing 4.4.0!

There are a few noticeable changes for users. Processing now installs more seamlessly across platforms. Windows users get a new .msi installer, macOS users a custom .dmg, and Linux users can install Processing via Snapcraft. A portable version is also available for those who prefer a standalone setup. You'll also notice a shiny new splash screen by @runemadsen.

Most of the work happened behind the scenes, including various quality-of-life improvements for developers working on the codebase. Key updates include migrating the build system from Ant to Gradle and beginning the transition from Swing to Jetpack Compose Multiplatform. This is part of a global effort to modernize the project's infrastructure to support future developments, and make it easier for more people to get involved.

A huge thanks to the testers and advisors who helped catch issues ahead of this release 💙

Bug Fixes

  • Fixes #896 : Fixed getVertexCount() method issue of giving output 0 for GROUP shapes by @inteqam in #939

Deprecation Notice

  • Starting with Processing 4.4.0, 32-bit versions will no longer be released. This is mainly due to technical limitations; ARM32 is not supported by Jetpack Compose or GitHub Workflows. If you need a 32-bit version of Processing (for older Raspberry Pi models, or certain Chromebooks) we recommend using Processing 4.3.4.

Processing 4.3

Revision 1293 – 26 July 2023

This release incorporates several contributed fixes (see below) and a few additional bug fixes and changes. The icons have ben updated a bit so that Processing is less likely to be confused with Visual Studio Code when seen in the dock or task bar, and the splash screen colors and layout have design tweaks as well.

  • Update documentation and process for updating language files for localization 722

  • Inherit dark mode from system settings on macOS 699

  • Use calculated text height instead of OS ascent for better vertical centering. Note: this may cause some sketches to look slightly different if textAlign(..., CENTER) is being used. 739

  • Bumped Java to 17.0.8+7.

  • Fix NullPointerException when background() exceeds color range when writing PDF 740

Contributions

  • Updated icons and splash screen colors from @fathompaul.

  • Register pde:// browser protocol for .pdez and .pdex files on Linux from @lala-lala-lori 674, 696

  • Syntax error highlighting placement / width incorrect from @sampottinger 714, 715

  • Better comment/uncomment key shortcut for French systems from @ThinkDumbIndustries 625, 660

  • Fix tweak mode issue with hex codes including transparency from @sampottinger 720, 721

  • LSP feature/declaration support from @Efratror 676, 678

  • Also reference support for Language Server Protocol from @Efratror 684, 690

  • Updates to the Spanish and Catalan translations from @trikaphundo 744, 746, 743, 745

  • Debugger was listing immediate array dimension last, fix from @WillRabalais04 606, 729

  • Second beginDraw() / endDraw() call clears PGraphics object when created w/ P2D 641, 728

Processing 4.2

Revision 1292 – 20 February 2023

Impress your friends with new pde:// protocol handlers! With Processing 4.2, you can link to .pdex and .pdez files to immediately run and install libraries and sketches. How it works:

  • Linking to pde://processing.org/somesketch.pdez in the browser will download somesketch.pdez and load it into the editor. It also works for files, for instance pde:///Users/ada/Desktop/somesketch.pdez will open an archive found on the Desktop.

  • This also works for contributions (Libraries, Modes, Tools) archived as .pdex files.

Both file types are simply a renamed .zip file. So to create sketches in .pdez format, use Tools → Archive Sketch, and replace the .zip with .pdez.

This is implemented for macOS and Windows (#559), based on this article which appears to be from @pboucher. Thank you! We still need help with implementing and testing it on Linux (#674). We would also like to add a warning dialog when opening files this way (#560).

In addition to the protocol handlers, there are a number of fixes in this release, especially for Windows users (and soon, for Python users).

Windows users, we still love you

  • The .pde, .pdex, and .pdez icons now work on Windows!

  • Exporting projects to Windows resulted in “cannot find Java” errors, now fixed. #667

Snake people, we love you too

  • Several internal changes have been made to better support future releases of Python Mode. Fingers crossed that we'll be able to launch some of this soon.

And still we fix the bugs

  • Fix encoding problem in “has been resized from 100?100 to 116?100 by the window manager” messages when using OpenGL.

  • fullScreen(P2D) not using the full screen when Windows display is scaled to fractional sizes. #514.

  • Table.getString() raises stack overflow when column type set to double. #671

  • Added support chained decimals during SVG Parsing (contribution from @bsapozhnikov) #515, #659

  • Applications were being exported to the wrong folder. #601

  • Fixed more /tmp folder problems on Linux. #666
