Critical changes ( might need to update your projects to fix )
ofEvents -> ofEvents() singleton - this means that projects which register calls using "ofEvents." will need to replace these with "ofEvents()." (note the parentheses).
OF Examples now are found in the "examples/" folder in the root of the OF folder. The "apps/" is still included but is kept empty as a place to put your OF apps and experiments.
Because of the project generator (see below) some addons have been standardized, and we've added "addons.make" to each project file that uses addons. Prior to this release, addons.make was only used on linux android platforms. As we develop the project generator, we'll work to document these changes.
audioRequested and audioReceived on the ofBaseApp/testApp are now called audioOut and audioIn
Project generator
A significant amount of the work which went into 0071 was in the development of a Project Generator. The Project Generator can make project files for all the OF platforms and it was critical to have this in order to increase the number of examples we could include with the release. The Project Generator is also able to add addons to existing projects, making the task of adding addons much faster than the current manual approach. Going forward, the Project Generator will be included with the new releases and be a key tool for generating, modifying and updating your OF projects. Currently, the Project Generator is in our github repository (https://github.com/openframeworks/openFrameworks) in apps/devApps/.
core:
loads of new examples! 96 examples now come with the desktop releases of OF. For a full list see: https://gist.github.com/2836913

New in openFrameworks 0.062 (Nov 24, 2010)

New in openFrameworks 0.061 (Feb 17, 2010)

major changes:
In this release we've moved to a *compiled* openframeworks library as opposed to un-compiled. a few motivations: cutting down on directory size of OF, reducing redundant compiles, making compile times faster and making development of OF easier. This changes quite a bit the organization of projects but it should lead to a much easier to use and maintain OF.
we've moved from svn to git github, and now have an automated system of building the OF package. This should also greatly ease our development of openframeworks. Before we had separate SVNs for the OF lib, the OF examples, and the core addons. Now, we've got one major place where changes and development of OF can be tracked. see http://github.com/openframeworks/openFrameworks.
To encourage faster releases, we've moved to a major minor release schedule, with minor releases (0.061, 0.062) relating to bug fixes and major releases (0.07, 0.08) relating to major features.
core:
folder structure is now changed so that all ide/packages can share one directory structure. Download the 0.061 all release to check it out.
core addons now don't have libs from other platforms
core addons now don't have example project in the addons folder
core FreeImage.h -> move BOOL typedefs etc to #defines and do #undef at the end
Put MIT license in OF headers
OSX:
xcode has snow leopard fixes, and an SL release
xcode projects are now renamed to have the folder name (ie, every project has a unique target name)
xcode apps now have max optimization settings for release.
xcode now has 3 build modes, Debug, Release, Release Universal. Debug and Release are for your current platform (either intel or PPC), Release Universal is for both.
renamed libs: change all libSomething.a to be something.a: this prevents xcode linking to root level dynamic libraries.
Win32 CodeBlocks:
added Poco linker flag for CB: needed for some network calls
fixed Poco linking order on win32.
linux:
changed the linux default videograbber to gstreamer
remove ofV4lUtils
smarter makefiles
modified install scripts to fix karmic problems & build OF compile on install
examples:
fixed missing files, missing calls to windowResized, removed unnecessary calls to ofSetupSCreen() and include stdio.
app:
Fullscreen on OS X is not top level anymore (no more crazy fullscreen app crashes and can't escape).
OSX now using custom GLUT framework
ofSetBackgroundAuto(false) on windows OF now works for accumulation in both windowed and fullscreen mode.
Windows FPS issues have been fixed.
closing the window on PC now exits the application properly.
ofAppGlutWindow: frameRate is now set to 60.0 at the start: before it was un-initialized.
ofGetLastFrameTime: to get the elapsed time of the last frame.
fixes for ofGetWidth() & ofGetHeight() being super slow, we now store them in vars and change on windowResize
ofGetAppPtr(), returns a pointer to the baseApp.
glutInitDisplayString option for initializing glut with a unique string, useful for FSAA or altering the setup.
fixed vertical sync for linux: http://www.openframeworks.cc/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=561&p=10683#p10683
ofBaseVideo added isFrameNew()
utils:
ofxNoise ofxSignedNoise: Added simplex ( similar to perlin ) noise to core
ofBaseHasTexture now has ofSetUseTexture ( to enable disable use of the texture )
ofBaseImage and ofBaseVideo have the same inheritance base
ofMap: now has a clamp argument, defaults to false
ofMap: added kyle's solution for division by 0 in ofMap: http://www.openframeworks.cc/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1413&view=unread#unread
detect C:as a root path in ofToDataPath
fixed ofPoint warnings
events:
fixed vs2008 intellisense doesn't like using Poco::delegate; in ofEventUtils: http://www.openframeworks.cc/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1877
graphics:
ofImage: Loading a corrupted image in linux made the app crash, fixed now.
ofImage setImageType now should properly alter the texture if we need to.
ofTexture: get texPoint texPercent, should help for doing texCoordinate stuff without knowing the target of the texture (ie, RECTANGLE_2D or ARB)
ofTexture: setTextureWrap & setMinMagFilters
ofTexture: ofTexture float *, char *, short * -added ability to make floating point textures, or upload float data.

ofImage fixed resize color bug
ofImage inline functions cause problems with inhereited classes that want to use them in CB. Switch inline -> static fixes this issue.

ofTrueTypeFont: Xcode projects now use the same version of the freetype as win/linux
ofSetCurveResolution: makes curved shapes a lot faster!
setAnchorPoint: move arguments from int to float
