After over a month since 2.7.1, CCRE release 2.8.0 is out! This release adds interrupts and improves autonomous loop timing!

WARNING: This release has not been tested on the cRIO due to a lack of a cRIO robot to test on. If you need cRIO functionality and don't have time to debug, refrain from upgrading.

Release of CCRE with API v2.8.0.

Major Changelog:

* Added support for interrupts on Digital Inputs!
* Added "recoverable events" that extend the recovery subsystem to be smarter and work better with highly-layered channel code.
* Disconnected autonomous mode cycles from periodic events.

Minor Changelog:

* Added ability to check if robot is connected to an FMS (as opposed to running outside of an official field.)
* Made `waitForEvent` return quicker and not poll.
* Added `setAutoCycleRate` and `getAutoCycleRate` to InstinctModule to control update rates of autonomous modes.
* Deprecated `InstinctModule.updateWhen`.
* Increased range of Emulator's current channels from 20A to 100A, to better reflect real ranges.
* Made mode test channels have more consistent behavior.

Bugfixes:

* Fixed failure to build cRIO libraries preventing use of roboRIO.
* Added missing null check to `filterEvent`.
* Fixed miscellaneous typos.
* Fixed miscellaneous compilation warnings.
* Added missing `serialVersionUID` to some PoultryInspector components.
* Fixed PoultryInspector lock-up if multiple CluckUnitTestComponents are dragged out.

Our robot code, which contains a very substantial demonstration of CCRE use, is posted! It's not perfect CCRE code by any means, but it successfully ran what was probably the most complicated robot in our team's history, with a level of automation that we haven't achieved before.

We're planning future direction of the CCRE at this time. If you have any input, please let us know by posting in this thread!
