0.8 Updates
- Andor should be done by Monday
- Daniel should be done his PImage tickets by Monday
- Has encountered test failure (#518). Daniel will check in work so course to take on #518 can be determined.
- Matthew has started Pmatrix2D. Pmatrix3DStack converted into Pmatrixstack, able to handle both 2d and 3d. Some init code to get Pmatrix2d working for printMatrix.
- Michael working on vertex and shape.
Looking ahead
- Daniel taking #474, already pulled into his branch.
- #473 "resolved" as invalid.
- sephr asked about what to do with browser's supporting SVG fonts. Al was working in this area. File a bug for 0.9.
- PGraphics currently returns canvas, not PImage. Related to Michael's work.
- Anna noticed texture is used only in the vertex function, and Pjs could extend it to other functions simply. Al saw some merit to Pjs extending this.
- Anna will take #208, minor doc issue.
- Andor points out some sites using Pjs are using old releases. Poke these sites to update?
Revised Review Process
- Tickets passing review-looks-good will now go into staged, before entering checked-in.
- staged means the code has been pushed into Anna's branch. checked-in means it has gone into a production release.
- staged will be reviewed by Corban, Al, and Dave.
New Pjs Test Suite
- http://processing-js.buildingsky.net/
- suggestions: skip test, keep track how many times a test has been run and how many times it has passed or failed
- already on the to-do list: make bottom progress bars show number of passes and failures
