[starlogo-users] StarLogo 2.2 Released

[Eric Klopfer]

Hello StarLogo Users

We're writing to announce the release of StarLogo 2.2.  This is  
primarily a bug fix release, but it does squash all of our known bugs  
to date (see the list below).  It is available for immediate download  
from our website at http://education.mit.edu/starlogo.

This is really (we know we said this with 2.1) likely to be the last  
release in this line of StarLogo.  We have an entirely new version of  
StarLogo (StarLogo TNG) that has a preview release just around the  
corner.  Stay on the lookout for information.  In the mean time enjoy  
StarLogo 2.2

----------------------------------
Bugs Fixed

     * Rewrote tail recursion detection to actually work.
     * Fixed numerous hanging bugs that plagued the MacOSX version of  
StarLogo.
     * Fixed display of error dialog boxes when running StarLogo as  
an applet.
     * StarLogo is properly ported to running on Intel-based  
Macintosh computers when they come out.
     * Eliminated ugly redraws of widgets on the Macintosh version of  
StarLogo. Text widgets look much better now.
     * Fixed a bug in scatter plots where the generated StarLogo code  
was wrong.
     * Found and fixed a bug that sometimes let the turtles escape  
their StarLogo world and scribble on the widgets nearby.
     * Resize the patch canvas back to default values when you do New  
Project.
     * Fixed bug where opening the output window while outputting  
caused a deadlock.
     * Fixed numerous bugs in documentation.

Note to Unix Users
     * StarLogo is not compatible with JRE 1.5 (i.e. Java 5) on  
Unix.  Please use JRE 1.4
     * Do not "calibrate graphics" on Unix.  One of the modes takes a  
very long time.
