p5.js version

1.0.0

Web browser and version

Doesn't matter

Operating System

Doesn't matter

Steps to reproduce this

Steps:

1. Download p5.js file from 1.0.0 releases. (https://github.com/processing/p5.js/releases?page=2).
2. Import it into a project.
3. Try to create p5.Texture (won't be able to do it).
4. Now import same p5.js 1.0.0 like this: <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/p5.js/1.0.0/p5.min.js"></script>.
5. Try to create p5.Texture (will be able to do it).

First question: why are p5js of the same version different.
Second question: which one is actually 1.0.0?

In the contents of the cdnjs file, this is at the top: p5.js v0.10.2 February 29, 2020

Looks like it was built on the same day but not using the same code build?

[jakerockland]

Hrm–looking at the contents of the files, it seems like they are actually entirely identical, with the sole difference being the top line of the file documenting the version.

Here is the diff that I'm looking at for reference: https://www.diffchecker.com/irxTUa2N

Which is comparing https://github.com/processing/p5.js/releases?page=2 and https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/p5.js/1.0.0/p5.min.js both linked above

I may be missing something here, but I'm not sure that the issue described above with p5.Texture is due to this minor discrepancy in 1.0.0 copies?

[limzykenneth]

@jakerockland There were some release problems back when 1.0.0 was released #4336. As noticed, the only difference should be the headers only.

@maxgmer Before digging deeper, is there a specific reason why you would need to use 1.0.0?

[maxgmer]

@jakerockland sorry, my description wasn't detailed enough. From github I downloaded non-minified version, non-minified one is definitely different (but won't be able to see with diff checked as, obviously, minified and non-minified versions are different). That is why in steps to reproduce I said to try them instead of running through diff checker.

[maxgmer]

@limzykenneth artblocks.io restricts p5js to 1.0.0. I actually already asked them where they take their 1.0.0 p5js from and just made my script take it from the same place, so the question about where to take 1.0.0 from is resolved.

But the library difference might create confusion for sure.

[jakerockland]

I see I see, thank you for clarifying @maxgmer – Art Blocks does use the minified version of 1.0.0 as our current p5js version, for which the Github release and p5-foundation-recommended-CDN both match IIUC. 😅

[limzykenneth]

I seemed to remember the non-minified version might have some publishing issue that's causing this but I may be misremembering. In any case, if there really is a mismatch between the two and the CDN version is incorrect, there is no way for us to change it as CDN providers will not refresh the files once published because of the hash integrity attribute (we asked before).

As such the most we can do is unpublish 1.0.0 but there may very well be sources (such as artblocks as mentioned) that rely on these being available so I don't think this is a very good solution either. I would recommend to just leave it as is if it is not posing a major problem in your work and try to upgrade to the latest version if at all possible, there shouldn't be any breaking changes so your code should just work without modifications.

[maxgmer]

@limzykenneth I see. Yes, then we can just close this, but it'd be awesome if you update github release description for 1.0.0 mentioning this difference.

Also, for posterity/clarity, we do have plans to eventually update the canonical p5js version for Art Blocks up from 1.0.0, but are very particular about how we want to do versioning given the on-chain nature of the artwork for Art Blocks so this is something we don't have a concrete timeline committed to just quite yet–but can definitely confirm that we will eventually do a version bump on our end as well (for new projects going forward, existing projects are all pegged to 1.0.0).

Yes, we can update the release description. Any suggestions on how to phrase the difference? Thanks!

@Qianqianye we can just leave a link to this issue here and add "The p5.min.js artifact below is incorrect. To get the valid p5.min.js 1.0.0, use https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/p5.js/1.0.0/p5.min.js link"
