Hello @Bua,

Welcome!

Please read Guidelines here:  
_[Welcome to the Processing Foundation Discourse](https://discourse.processing.org/t/welcome-to-the-processing-foundation-discourse/8)_

Please include some _minimal code_ to that will generate this error.

Processing 4.4.7 import menu:

Processing 4.4.8 import menu:

The above suggests that there may be more missing from Processing 4.4.8 than just the Serial Library.

This confirms it:

I am optimistic that there will be an update soon.

Code for above:

```processing
import processing.serial.*;
import processing.pdf.*;
import processing.net.*;
import processing.io.*;
import processing.dxf.*;

void setup()
  {
  }
  
void draw()
  {
  }

```

_Please start another topic if it is not related to the serial library._
