Revision
Hilights:
+ It's no longer necessary to use textFont() before text() and other text-handling functions. The default "SansSerif" font is used, which varies by platform.
+ Also in this release, the createFont() method will only load characters as they are used, which should greatly improve the font situation on non-Roman systems like Japanese. This will use far less memory, and should be all around much more efficient. Formerly, createFont() took several seconds to run, depending on the speed of your system.

+ Changed the OpenGL HTML template to load differently, which should fix a NullPointerException in JOGLAppletLanucher with Java 6 Update 18 on Windows, and should also be more efficient altogether, because the JOGL libraries can be downloaded just once from Sun, rather than for each sketch that uses them.
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1452
Gotchas:
+ Changed how imports are handled in sketches. This may break some sketches that use java.xxx packages that aren't covered in the Processing reference.
+ Deprecated 'screen', and added screenWidth and screenHeight. Discussion here:
