1.9.1 Release

[Qianqianye]

Hi all, we’d like to release p5.js 1.9.1 around February 29. Are there any specific issues we should resolve or any pull requests need to get merged before then?

Below are some issues and pull requests we can focus our efforts on before the 1.9.1 release:

• Throwing friendly error in webgl mode when using gridOutput() and textOutput() #6491
• print("content") outside of setup/draw invokes print dialog. possible to catch with FES? #4272
• nf() produces problematic string-formatting of very large or small numbers #5710

Please let us know if we should label some other issues and pull requests to the 1.9.1 Milestone. Thank you!

#6808

[davepagurek]

There are a few other PRs that I've approved (#6651, #6703, #6710) but was holding off on merging them until after 1.9.1 because I was just merging bug fixes for issues found in the beta build since I wasn't sure how much time there would be before the release. If we want, we can merge these and spend the next week testing the build to make sure no new bugs have been introduced. Does that sound OK @Qianqianye?

@davepagurek We'll probably do the release this week and if you'd like the PRs to be merged after 1.9.1 that's fine as well. We can plan for a proposed timeline for 1.9.2 to get those PR in a release at some point too.

[davepagurek]

I think #6808 and #6703 are safe enough that they can be added to this release since they add something new without affecting other features' implementations, so I'll merge those in. I think the others change the implementation of existing features enough that I'd feel more comfortable releasing them after a bit more extensive testing, so a 1.9.2 release would be great for that. There are some other small improvements and fixes whose PRs are not quite yet ready to merge that could also go into 1.9.2.

Thank you all! p5.js 1.9.1 is released. We will prepare for the next release within 2 months.
