Processing 0191 for Android
Casey and I are in Chicago this weekend for the Processing+Android conference at UIC, organized by Daniel Sauter. In our excitement over the event, we posted revision 0191 last night (we tried to post from the back of Daniel’s old red Volvo, but Sprint’s network took exception). The release includes several Android-related updates, mostly fixed from Andres Colubri to improve how 3D works. Get the download here:
http://processing.org/download/ (under pre-releases)
Also be sure to keep an eye on the Wiki for Android updates:
http://wiki.processing.org/w/Android
(By the time you read this, there may be newer pre-releases like 0192, or 0193, and so on. Use those instead.)
Release notes for the 0191 update follow. And we’ll be doing a more final release (1.3 or 2.0, depending) once things settle a bit.

+ Generate mipmaps when the GL_OES_generate_mipmaps extension is not available.
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=288
+ Finish screen pixels/texture operations in A3D
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=298
+ Fixed a bug in the camera handling. This was a quite urgent issue, since affected pretty much everything. It went unnoticed until now because the math error canceled out with the default camera settings.

+ Also finished the implementation of the getImpl() method in PImage, so it initializes the texture of the new image in A3D mode. This makes the CubicVR example to work fine.
[ core ]
+ Fix background(PImage) for OpenGL
http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=336
+ Skip null entries with trim(String[])
+ Fix NaN with PVector.angleBetween

+ Fix missing getFloat() method in XML library
+ Make sure that paths are created with saveStream(). (saveStream() wasn’t working when intermediate directories didn’t exist)
+ Make createWriter() use an 8k buffer by default.
