CC-Tweaked

Changes from the last CC:Tweaked release

This is just another bug-fix release, with a couple of minor enhancements.

• Using longs inside .seek rather than 32 bit integers. This allows you to seek in very large files.
• Move the /computer command into the main /computercraft command
• Allow copying peripheral names from a wired modem's attach/detach chat message.

Minor fixes

• Fix InventoryUtil ignoring the stack limit when extracting items
• Fix computers not receiving redstone inputs sent through another block.
• Fix JEI responding to key-presses when within a computer or turtle's inventory.

Changes from the last CC:Tweaked release

Another bugfix release, resolving several outstanding issues

• Rename all tile entities to have the correct computercraft: prefix. Existing tile entities should be mapped via a data fixer, but please tell me if you encounter issues.
• Fix files not being truncated when opened for a write.
• .read* methods no longer fail on malformed unicode. Malformed input is replaced with a fake character (this is what CC did before).
• Fix numerous issues with wireless modems being attached to wired ones.

Minor fixes

• Prevent deadlocks within the wireless modem code.
• Create coroutines using a thread pool, rather than creating a new thread each time. This should make short-lived coroutines (such as iterators) much more performance friendly.
• Create all CC threads under appropriately named thread groups. This has no effect on functionality, but makes debugging a tad easier.

Changes from the last CC:Tweaked release

This is just a minor bugfix release to solve some issues with the filesystem rewrite

• Fix computers not loading if resource packs are enabled (see #70)
• Fix stdin not being recognised as a usable input (see #71)
• Return an unsigned byte rather than a signed one for no-args .read()

Changes from the last CC:Tweaked release

• Add German translation (Vexatos)
• Add .getCursorBlink to monitors and terminals.
• Allow sending binary messages with websockets.
• Extend fs and io APIs
  • io should now be largely compatible with PUC Lua's implementation (:read("n") is not currently supported).
  • Binary readable file handles now support .readLine
  • Binary file handles now support .seek(whence: string[, position:number]), taking the same arguments as PUC Lua's method.

Minor fixes

• Fix repeat program crashing when malformed rednet packets are received (gollark/osmarks)
• Reduce risk of deadlock when calling peripheral methods.
• Fix speakers being unable to play sounds.

Changes from the last CC:Tweaked release

• Bump Cobalt version
  • Default to using little endian in string.dump
  • Remove propagation of debug hooks to child coroutines
  • Allow passing functions to debug.getlocal, al-la Lua 5.2
• Add Charset support for bundled cables
• /computercraft commands are more generous in allowing computer selectors to fail.
• Remove bytecode loading disabling from bios.lua.

Minor fixes

• Fix stack overflow when using turtle.place with a full inventory
• Fix in-hand printout rendering causing visual glitches.

Changes from the last CC:Tweaked release

• Add .getNameLocal to wired modems: provides the name that computer is exposed as on the network. This is mostly useful for working with Plethora's transfer locations, though could have other purposes.
• Change turtle block breaking to closer conform to how players break blocks.
• Rewrite rendering of printed pages, allowing them to be held in hand, and placed in item frames.

Minor fixes

• Improve formatting of /computercraft when run by a non-player.
• Fix pocket computer terminals not updating when being held.
• Fix a couple of minor blemishes in the GUI textures.
• Fix sign text not always being set when placed.
• Cache turtle fakeplayer, hopefully proving some minor performance improvements.

Changes from the last CC:Tweaked release

• Allow network cables to work with compact machines. They do not currently visually connect, but are still usable.
• A large number of improvements to the /computercraft command, including:
  • Ensure the tables are correctly aligned
  • Remove the output of the previous invocation of that command when posting to chat.
  • /computercraft track is now per-user, instead of global.
  • We now track additional fields, such as the number of peripheral calls, http requests, etc... You can specify these as an optional argument to /computercraft track dump to see them.
• wget automatically determines the filename (@Luca0208)
• Allow using alternative HTTP request methods (DELETE, PUT, etc...)
• Enable Gzip compression for websockets.
• Fix monitors not rendering when optifine shaders are enabled. There are still issues (they are tinted orange during the night), but it is an improvement.

Minor changes

• Fix .isDiskPresent() always returning true.
• Fix peripherals showing up on wired networks when they shouldn't be.
• Fix turtle.place() crashing the server in some esoteric conditions.
• Remove upper bound on the number of characters than can be read with .read(n: number).
• Fix various typos in keys.lua (@hugeblank)

Changes from the last CC:Tweaked release

• Several additional fixes to monitors, solving several crashes and graphical glitches.
• Add recipes to upgrade computers, turtles and pocket computers.

Changes from the last ComputerCraft alpha

• Verify the action can be completed in copy, rename and mkdir commands.
• Add /rom/modules so the package path.
• Add read to normal file handles - allowing reading a given number of characters.
• Various minor bug fixes.

Changes from the last CC:Tweaked release

• Ensure ComputerCraft peripherals are thread-safe. This fixes multiple Lua errors and crashes with modems monitors.
• Add /computercraft track command, for monitoring how long computers execute for.
• Add ore dictionary support for recipes.
• Track which player owns a turtle. This allows turtles to play nicely with various claim/grief prevention systems.
• Add config option to disable various turtle actions.
• Add an API for extending wired networks.
• Add full-block wired modems.
• Several minor bug fixes.

• Add /computercraft command, providing various diagnostic tools.
• Make http.websocket synchronous and add http.websocketAsync.
• Restore binary compatibility for ILuaAPI.

• Fix term.getTextScale() not working across multiple monitors.
• Fix computer state not being synced to client when turning on/off.
• Provide an API for registering custom APIs.
• Render turtles called "Dinnerbone" or "Grumm" upside-down.
• Fix getCollisionBoundingBox not using all AABBs.
• Experimental: Add map-like rendering for pocket computers.

This is the first official release of CC: Tweaked.
