Congrats! You found it!

<snark>"I wonder how much is changing?" did you look at it? clearly not...</snark>

Changing:
UI (JavaFX obviously plus a total redesign)
Data layers (multiple sources)
Much better and more modular architecture (take the core and do a different UI are now supported)
Save format
Widget format (JavaFX instead of Swing)

Not changing:
SmartDashboard.putX style stuff
LiveWindow/TestMode

Since others now know about this, and since this is a total-re-write in JavaFX, you (aka anyone reading this) have won a chance to do a alpha testing of this! PM me if interested. I would suggest you only PM me if seriously interested in testing, not just "oh nifty *close*". Real robot application appreciated.


oh, and to tuXguy15: learn JavaFX and FXML
