Hello,

First of all, I wish that everyone of you is having a good time during the build season (and 2016 in general).

I just wanted to notify you that I have just releseased a new version of the QDriverStation. If you don't know what it is, please click here (http://www.wint3794.org/qdriverstation.html).

If have already installed the QDriverStation, just open it with a working Internet connection and it should notify you about the update.

Changes:


Support for 2016 protocol
POV/Hat support for joysticks
Map E-STOP to SHIFT and SPACE keys
2015 protocol gets a LOT of improvements
UI is written from ground-up in a more modular way
Implement global event filter to avoid issues with virtual joystick or E-STOP trigger
Implement built-in mDNS support for better cross-platform operation
Do not use XInput for joystick reading, it only makes everything worse
Improvements in socket programming for the LibDS
Scalable UI to any pixel density
Implement UI sound effects
More options in the preferences window
