After pushing update after update the last month the Processing team has no officially launched Processing 1.0. Some nice aesthetic changes are that the external libarries are now saved outside the progarm folder and that the OS X version is now a single .app instead of a bunch of files and folder. And the new dock icon is also a lot smoother if you ask me. But why ask me, if you have the press release.
The most recent changes:
The last couple of days a have been playing with the OSCemote, a very simple yet nice application for sending OSC data to applications like Max/MSP.
Currently it has three main features (the free version has only 1): Buttons, Sliders and Multi-Touch. [The slider screen also features buttons and tabs, but i am guessing it is called sliders because these take up most of the screen.]
Anyhow, the multitouch feature is very nice, although it only goes up to 4 fingers (but who needs more) and i had some ghost fingers in there every once in a while. The sliders seem a bit unresponsive still but i am guessing that will be fixed in a next update. But it has never crashed on me so far (which some apps tend to do a lot) and the data seems to arrive almost instant in my patches.
So i can definitly say i will be experimenting with this App alot and might even feature it in the upcoming max/msp course. But most of all: it takes the wind out of my sails for wanting to create an app exactly like this one (but i am still missing some features, so who knows)
