uploading source onto cRIO?!

im not new to programming, but im new to robotics programming... so in my guess its a matter of learning the technique, not the syntax and structure...
this year i know there will be major changes, aka the cRIO controller, what leaves me in the shadow is that, say i use any IDE i want, or the supplied IDE, how will i upload the compiled code to the cRIO, i know for the previous controllers a IFI_Loader application tool was used to transmit the data over serial port, but what about this year?!
i guess the CDs that FIRST ships will have both graphic adn text based programming options, hopefully...
but we're left speculating, atleast thats my impression so far

yea yea yea i know there is labview, but this is not programming, this is, i cant even name it, turning a FRC into a lego mindstorm kit, no thnx... and since im the only programmer ill take the advatage of a text-based programming...

thank you
