A few weeks ago, the Processing project started the transition to the 2.0 branch with the release of the first alpha package. Today, the second alpha is out (2.0a2), and available from the downloads section in the Google code page of the project, for the Linux, Mac and Windows platforms. The most important changes for this alpha release consist in several improvements in the new video library, and better support for 64 bits within the Processing environment and in exported applications.

The GStreamer adventure part II: video capture on OSX Leave a comment
This is a short post, just to give a “preview” of the work currently undergoing on OSX and GStreamer.
