PHASER: Version 3.0 Errata

Phaser 3.0 Errata

This document summarizes known problems in Phaser Version 3.0.

[3] Phaser Custom Equation Issue

Version(s) Affected: Phaser Version 3.0-20070414, 20070903, 20071101, 20080224-Release.
Problem: Custom equations defined with more than 12 variables do not properly load in Phaser and could cause the application to become unstable.
Platform(s) Affected: All.
Workaround: N/A
Solution: Problem fixed in Phaser Version 3.0-20081116-Release.

[2] Phaser Gallery/GUI Lockup

Version(s) Affected: Phaser Version 3.0-20070414-Release, 3.0-20070903-Release, 3.0-20071101-Release.
Problem: On certain platforms, the Phaser Gallery might lock up while loading a project. Apparently, there exists a potential GUI thread deadlock between the opening of the Gallery and the I/O thread that loads a project into the Gallery.
Platform(s) Affected: Microsoft Windows Vista (Sun's Java 6), Apple Mac OS X 10.4.10 (Java 5), Linux (Various).
Workaround: Manually open the Gallery Window prior to loading a Gallery Project.
Solution: Problem fixed in Phaser Version 3.0-20080224-Release or later.

[1] Phaser View/GUI Lockup

Version(s) Affected: Phaser Version 3.0-20070414-Release, 3.0-20070903-Release.
Problem: On certain platforms, a Phaser View and its interface might lock up while running a simulation. The conditions present that can lead to this problem involve running a simulation that encounters algorithmic errors in its numerical computations and Phaser's response to the errors, automatically opening up the Numerics Console window to display the them. Apparently, there exists a potential GUI thread deadlock between the opening of the Numerics Console and the View writing to the Console.
Platform(s) Affected: Microsoft Windows Vista (Sun's Java 6), Apple Mac OS X 10.4.10 (Java 5), Linux (Various).
Workaround: Manually open the Numerics Console prior to running a simulation in a View.
Solution: Problem fixed in Phaser Version 3.0-20071101-Release or later.
