+# Processing 4.0.2
+
+*Revision 1287 – 24 November 2022*
+
+🦃 Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃
+
+Fixing more regressions and other steps backward found since the 4.0 release.
+
+
+## the big ones
+
+* OpenGL apps now work with macOS Ventura, once again thanks to @jaegonlee. [#544](https://github.com/processing/processing4/issues/544)
+
+* `fullScreen()` with `pixelDensity(2)` was broken with the default renderer. On startup, the sketch would report `Display -1 does not exist, returning 1 for displayDensity(-1)`. [#487](https://github.com/processing/processing4/issues/487)
+
+
+## the li'l ones
+
+* When calling `random()` on a list (now `choice()`) with no elements, it would throw a weird `Exception`. Now it throws a more descriptive exception.
+
+
+## need some help here
+
+* Loading SVG file was giving `Illegal base64 character 20 encoding error`. Fixed thanks to @jaegonlee and @vepo. [#592](https://github.com/processing/processing4/issues/592), [#599](https://github.com/processing/processing4/pull/599)
+
+
+## steps forward
+
+* Added a `choice()` method to the `XxxxList` classes, which returns a random value from the list. Similarly `removeChoice()` removes a random element from the list and returns the value.
+
+* Also added a `choice()` method that returns random integers. So `int value = choice(10)` is a shorthand way of saying `int value = (int) random(10)`
+
+* Removed the `choice()` (formerly `random()`) method from the `XxxxList` classes that took a `PApplet` object for its random number seed/generator. Just feels like overkill at this point.
+
+
+## internal changes
+
+* Using more Java 17 syntax in the code. No plans to really scrub everything to change the syntax over, just a matter of cleaning things up as we go.
+
+* Fixed a potential casting problem with `Platform` and `DefaultPlatform`. Should have been unreachable, but fixed anyway.
+
+* Brought back `getCodeIndex()` for GUI Builder Tool… then removed it again. [#545](https://github.com/processing/processing4/issues/545), [#596](https://github.com/processing/processing4/issues/596)
