+PROCESSING 3.1 (REV 0249) - 8 May 2016
+
+Happy Mother's Day! I celebrated by kicking off a Processing release 
+while my beautiful wife and daughter took a well-deserved nap.
+
+This release includes several bug fixes, while some of your donation dollars 
+were fed through Jakub Valtar to produce bug fixes and code improvements, 
+including some serious reworking of the error checker. Meanwhile, the rest 
+of the community pitched in with several additional fixes to keep this 
+caravan rolling, and Gottfried brought up the rear with fistfuls of 
+improvements for Raspberry Pi and ARM support.
