Minutes

0.8

  • Due date Apr. 5, 2010.

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
