What's new:
- A second Jupyter Notebook Kernel: py5bot. There's also a new IPython magic called %%py5bot that is available within the py5 kernel.
- The size() method can be called from the

- Sketch windows now appear in the taskbar or Dock with the py5 logo
Breaking changes:
argshas been renamed to pargs to avoid a name conflict with the conventional use of the variableargs- the
use_threaddefault parameter in save() and save_frame() has been changed fromFalsetoTrue
Also:
- Massive improvements for OSX Users. The OSX Sketch exiting issues have been solved. The other OSX issues are better articulated in the Special Notes for Mac Users.
- Lots of little bug fixes
What's Ahead:
- Write Tutorials and How-tos
- Further develop the py5examples repo
