This repository contains the source code for the Processing project for people who want to help improve the code.
Welcome to Processing 4.4!
We’re excited to announce the release of Processing 4.4! This update modernizes Processing under the hood to make future development easier. Key changes include switching the build system from Ant to Gradle, starting the transition from Swing to Jetpack Compose Multiplatform for the UI, and adding Kotlin support to the codebase. To learn more, check out Changes in 4.4.0.
We hope these updates will make it easier for more people to contribute to Processing. If you'd like to get involved, have a look at our Contributor Guide.
