Full Changelog: https://github.com/varun7654/AutoBuilder/compare/v2.2.7...v2.2.8

This release requires Java 17

This Release requires you to use > v2.2.1 of the Robot Side Library!

*v2.2.7 updates the wpilib dependency to 2022.4.3
*v2.2.6 updates the wpilib dependency to 2022.4.2
*v2.2.3 updates the wpilib dependency to 2022.3.2
*v2.2.2 updates the wpilib dependency to 2022.2.1

    implementation "com.dacubeking:autobuilder-robot:2.2.7"

You will need to update some config values if you've previously used an older version (version <= 2.2.0) of the AutoBuilder to ensure that your field image renders correctly!

Make sure, under your app config, that you have the following values set

• Point Scale Factor: 159.83
• Origin X: -598.0
• Origin Y: -1080.0

Bug Fixes:

• Add a constraint to limit the acceleration of a path
  • Useful when combined with the rectangular region constraint & elliptical region constraint to limit the acceleration on certain parts of the path
  • The global acceleration constraint still exists and is enforced
• Added the Swerve Drive Voltage Constraint
  • Limits the acceleration based on the current speed of the robot. It allows the robot to accelerate faster at lower speeds but limits the acceleration at higher speeds.

    implementation "com.dacubeking:autobuilder-robot:2.2.1" 

Highlights

• Better Execution of (Command Based) Commands
  • Commands that are properly annotated with the @AutoBuilderAccessible annotation can now be run by simply typing out the name of the command
    • The command is executed by the Command Scheduler and is run asynchronously
    • Support for "aliasing" instances by doing @AutoBuilderAccessible(alias = "name")
      • Anonymous commands are automatically aliased to the field's name if one isn't explicitly given.
      • Refer to the documentation for more details on this
• Add a settings menu in https://github.com/FRC3476/AutoBuilder/pull/30
  • Allows configuring robot and app constants from within the app in real-time
  • Also allows configuring trajectory constraints in realtime
• Allow adding constraints to specific paths in autos
  • This was possible but required editing the JSON of the autonomous files
  • This is now possible to do this directly in the autonomous timeline

Quality of Life

• Autos are now saved in the msgpack format
  • Should improve autonomous deserialization times by ~40%
• Pressing alt will show the position of the mouse on the field
• Syntax highlighting on script blocks is a little more colorful!
• Optimize drawing of the path Driven Path of the robot.
  • CPU usage is now significantly lower by caching information about the geometry of the path

Bug Fixes

• The field image/paths not being invisible when the app launches sometimes
• Autos being deleted when the file is initially loaded
  • This was due to some thread safety issues in the autosave functionality that was fixed

Full Changelog: https://github.com/FRC3476/AutoBuilder/compare/v1.2.1...v2.2.0

Edit 1/6/23: Fix the jar file not containing any code! oops

This release requires Java 17

This Release requires you to use a beta version of the Robot Side Library!

Instead of the releases maven repository, use the snapshots maven repository

repositories {
    ...
    maven {
        url "https://maven.dacubeking.com/snapshots" // Use this link instead of https://maven.dacubeking.com/releases
    }
}

Update the implementation of the library to version 1.0.2-beta

    implementation "com.dacubeking:autobuilder-robot:1.0.2-beta" //Changed from 1.0.1 or 1.0.0
