New QDriverStation version!
 

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.

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

If you want to drop me an e-mail for whatever reason, say a bug report, a suggestion or anything else, you can contact me at alex_spataru@outlook.com.

Finally, if you are a programmer (or interested in programming), you are welcome to check out the codebase and submit your improvements. If you are looking for something to do, check our TODO file.
