Hi everyone! We wanted to let you know there was a new py5 release a few days ago. py5 is a version of Processing for Python 3.8+.

This release has many exciting new features, including:

- New color mode, in addition to RGB and HSB. The new colormode is named [CMAP](http://py5coding.org/integrations/matplotlib.html#colormap-color-mode) and is built around matplotlib’s Colormaps.
- Support for [Shapely objects](http://py5coding.org/integrations/shapely.html), letting py5 draw Shapely objects to the screen in addition to Py5Shape objects
- Support for [Trimesh objects](http://py5coding.org/integrations/trimesh.html)

If you are interested in Python, give it a try! Any questions, please let us know!

@sableraph, or any moderator : can the Processing Discourse have a py5 category for posts? There is one for p5py and processing.py. Whenever I want to post something here related to py5, there is never a good place to put it.
