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

Useful links:

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.

Greetings,
--Alex Spataru
