caution: the beverage you're about to enjoy is extremely hot. this
file is a list of changes between each release. this is not a general
reference of how to use processing, because the information for older
releases will be super crusty. 



ABOUT REV 0024

- antlr preprocessor removed

- Floats print bug fixed

- New examples for portMode, portRead and portWrite added

- Servo library update by Michael Margolis

- Fast digitalWrite added as an inline function to test it (Paul Stoffregen, Michael Margolis)

- Added support for new Wiring hardware atmega1281/2561 microcontrollers, timers, interrupts etc.

- New AVR Toolchain Wiring distribution for Windows / OSX / Linux

- bootloader support for atmega1281/2561 microcontrollers

- Add character classification and conversion functions to the API and reference

- Include for Wire library was renamed from TwoWire.h to Wire.h, check and update old sketches
  for the new include name, or delete it and use the menu Sketch -> Import Library -> Wire, this
  will add the proper include to the sketch.

- Other Math functions added to the reference

- Added library Timer2

- Fix Save As when sketch has schematics

- Add tone() and noTone() commands from Brett Hagman

- Fix background for schematics


ABOUT REV 0023

- New reference and examples system. Note that the Wiring web site examples html files
  are locally included within the Wiring software and accessible through the Help Menu.
  Because of the new examples system, the library Examples are added twice (through File ->
  Examples -> Libraries and the previous way File -> Examples -> Library-xxxxx). This will
  be fixed for next release.

- The Stop toolbar button was removed from the Environment, instead the Schematics button
  was added. If the sketch includes circuit schematics a window with the diagram will
  be displayed. The Schematics window includes two buttons [ Reset ] and [ Close ], the Reset
  button resets the diagram position to default, the Close button closes the Schematics
  Window. It is possible to resize the Window and pan its content with the mouse.

- Fix bug in the editor when typing some reserved words (new), fixed Tab bug as well.

- Fix bug in the serial missing data under certain conditions

- Add support for sketchbook/libraries folder, libraries will be listed in the Sketch -> 
  Import Library - > menu under contributed

- Added support for local sketch code, it is possible to include in tabs .cpp .h and .c
  files, note those files are not preprocessed, so no error line highlight will be provided
  on .cpp, .c or .h sketch files. 
  This feature is nice for developing libraries in your sketch folder and then move them
  to your sketchbook/libraries folder.  

- When new sketches are created the setup and loop methods will be on the editor.

- Keypad and Password libraries by Mark Stanley and Alexander Brevig added to contributed libraries.
