The new Blender 3D version 2.79b .

Today I tested the new Blender 3D software versin 2.79b and is working well.
I think the development team has worked hard and has done a great job with this version of Blender 3D software.
Here are some of the issues solved:
The new 2.79b is a Corrective Release
This corrective release only fixes a few serious bugs/regressions introduced in 2.79a fixes.
  • Due to various issues with drivers for AMD GCN 1.0 architecture, those cards are no longer supported for Cycles rendering
  • When using add-ons in Blender 2.79 that take advantage of the new data-block pointer properties, the resulting .blend files can't be opened in earlier versions of Blender. Attempting to open such .blend files in Blender 2.78c and earlier may crash.
  • Some Interface Themes may need to be reloaded to work properly.
  • The text color contained in layout.box() is now defined in User Preferences, Themes, Box section
  • Rig compatibility:
    • Changes to IK snapping may affect rigs that use non-uniform IK scaling. (rigs created in the 2.78 builds.)
  • During the 2.78 series: IK snapping was partly broken.
    • This has been fixed for Blender 2.79
    • Rigs created in Blender 2.78 may not be compatible with 2.79.
    • Rigs created in Blender 2.77 may still work.
  • When using the add-on Rigify, please note:
    • Compatibility is broken for this release. There's no guarantee rigs created in previous Blender versions will work correctly.
    • Rigs created in Blender 2.78 may not be compatible with 2.79.
    • Rigs created in Blender 2.77 may still work.
    • Save your work before attempting upgrading your rigs.

Hero - Grease Pencil 2.0 project of Blender team.

This video is made by the Blender team and is result of 2D graphic tool named Grease Pencil.
They presents a 3 minutes short film showcasing Blender’s upcoming Grease Pencil 2.0.
This tool works like a pen in the 3D area.
At the end of this video you can see the combined effects of 2D and 3D.
Now, 2D and 3D animations benefit from advanced technology that complies with the basic animation rules.

Using p5.js to create a progressbar .

This is an old tutorial about how to create a progressbar with processing.
To convert to p5.js you need to change the processing source code to javascript.
You can read about this conversion here.
In my example I change all variable types to var and I remove the frame.setTitle.
If you using the processing I.D.E. then you need to change from the right area from java to p5.js.
This will make a index.html file ( don't change this file).
This is the source code for p5.js and is working well:
// example progressbar 
// default variables for progressbar
// start the time for progressbar
var startTime; 
// counter progressbar 
var counter;
// maximum time progressbar
var maxTime; 
// boolean for the end progressbar 
var done; 
// settings for this example
function setup() { 
// set title of window
//frame.setTitle("Example progressbar | free-tutorials.org");
// window size and background color
// p5.js
createCanvas(640,130);
 
//size(640,130);
background(25); 
// set variables of progressbar
counter = 0; 
startTime= millis(); 
maxTime=int(random(1000,1976)); 
done=false; 
//end settings
} 
// draw all text and progressbar
function draw() { 
  // set same background color
  background(255); 
 
  // check end of progressbar fill
  if (counter-startTime < maxTime) {
  counter=millis();
  }  else { done=true;  }
  // create the color for fill progressbar
  fill(110,110,255);
  // no stroke for draw
  noStroke();
  // show all text variables and progressbar
  text("Progress bar blue - size 620", 230, 20); 
  rect(10,30,map(counter-startTime,0,maxTime,0,620), 30 );
  text("counter- startTime "+int(counter- startTime)+" ",10,80);
  text("maxTime "+ int(maxTime) +  " ", 10,100);
  text("map converted counter-startTime"+ int ( map(counter-startTime,0,maxTime,0,200)), 10,120);
  noFill();
 
  }
// reload the draw of progress bar 
function mousePressed () { 
  if (done) { counter = 0; startTime= millis();
  maxTime=int(random(1000,1976)); 
  done=false;
  }
}

About Blender 3D and python API versus learners.

The last version of Blender 3D API come with many features and option to solve your issues.
Too many for a normal user.
For example: if you want to add some images into SEQUENCE_EDITOR this will help you.
From starting you need to know the last API and this may not be the last option.
The BlendDataImages(bpy_struct) - version 2.79 and can be used.
Another option is this function on the version 2.78 the scene.sequence_editor.sequences.new_image.
The good way is to have a good area of examples and tutorials into documentation.
This will solve many post on Blender 3D community area.

What I want to say is the desire of the developers to manifest themselves and not to maintain the user learning process.
Most API learners do not have the same speed of processing and learning as developers, especially if there are multiple and frequent changes.
