The upcoming 4.4.5 release of Processing includes as many new contributors as all the releases since 4.3.1 combined 🥳

We’ve been working hard to lower the barrier to entry, so seeing this many new folks jump in is really encouraging and honestly makes us a bit emotional. Thank you 💙
Screenshot showing a list of new contributors to the Processing 4.4.5 release, each with a link to their first pull request. Usernames listed include @marioguzzzman, @thisizaro, @ovaline, @jd-boyd, @Vaivaswat2244, @JSdCool, @AhmedMagedC, @pnngocdoan, @joshgiesbrecht, @ThexXTURBOXx, @jdebou, @toniab, and @aj-m.

Rare, old Proce55ing photo from April 2002. Yikes!
A photograph of an early version of the Processing (then styled as "Proce55ing") development environment running on a Mac desktop interface. The window displays a sketch with simple code using void setup() and void loop() functions, drawing a series of diagonal lines. Next to the editor is a small output window showing the visual result of the code. In the background, a Finder window is open, showing the directory contents of the "processing-0024" folder, including subfolders like "fonts", "lib", "reference" and "sketchbook." This image dates from April 2002 and captures an early stage in the development of Processing.

A macOS installation window for Processing, showing a blue Processing.app icon on the left and an Applications folder on the right, with an arrow between them indicating the app should be dragged into the folder. The background is blue with a grid pattern, and there are playful, blue geometric characters with eyes in the corners of the window.

A promotional graphic for the exhibition "Compositions in Code: The Art of Processing and p5.js" at the Museum of the Moving Image (MoMI), opening on March 6, 2025. The background features a generative art-style digital landscape with jagged, wireframe-like mountains in shades of blue and purple against a bright pink sky. The exhibition title appears in large white text at the top, with the subtitle "The Art of Processing and p5.js" in smaller font below. The names of featured artists—Marius Watz / Aleksandra Jovanić, LIA / Sarah Ridgley, and Robert Hodgin / Melissa Wiederrecht—are centered in white text. At the bottom, logos for MoMI, Tezos, and the Processing Foundation indicate the event’s co-presenters.

Tara Hächler & Peter Ha's 'Co-Haviation' is a project #BuiltWithProcessing, depicting a strange yet familiar world where only birds and planes exist. Birds navigate using the Earth’s magnetic field, just as flights depend on radio waves for communication. #CreativeCoding
