[Cel Skeggs]

Semi-weekly update on 2014-11-21

CCRE release 2.3.0 is available! Lots of goodies here - a total of 48 commits to our Git repository since the last release!

Major Changelog:

* Added booleans to TuningContext, so that the tuning framework works with them as well as floats.
* Added file and line number readouts to logging messages.
* Automatically set motors to zero on disable, to prevent ramping jumps.
* Added arithmetic on channels to FloatMixing.
* Added listing of robot addresses in PoultryInspector, instead of a preset address.
* Added lots of alternative views for PoultryInspector controls.
* Added method by which .input and .output for the same channel get shown as the same channel in the PoultryInspector.

Minor Changelog:

* Removed launches from TemplateIgneousRobot, so that only real projects get them.
* Sped up cRIO library building.
* Miscellaneous visual improvements to the Poultry Inspector.
* Cleaned up the implementation of the Mixing* classes: https://github.com/flamingchickens1540/Common-Chicken-Runtime-Engine/issues/7
* Added `IJoystick.getXSource()`, `IJoystick.getYSource()`.
* Made the averageBits parameter optional in Igneous.makeAnalogInput.
* Added OutputStream support to PoultryInspector.
* Cluck can now publish EventStatuses without manually breaking out the channels.
* Let DriverImpls Single Joystick Drive (Arcade Drive) take Joystick handles directly.
* Added unofficial copy of the Squawk source code to the repo so that source shows up.
* Added copy of the WPILibJ source code to the repo so that source shows up.
* Added roboRIO debugging support.
* Streamlined instantiation of TuningContext objects.
* Marked `makeAnalogInput_ValueBased` as deprecated.
* Added dynamic time waiting method to InstinctModule.
* Added direct access function for `Utils.currentTimeSeconds`'s value.

Bugfixes:

* Fixed incorrect Java versioning on some CCRE projects.
* Fixed off-by-one error with axes in roboRIO glue.
* Fixed the out-of-limit bug with PoultryInspector float readouts.
* Added backport rules for some mathematical functions that were unavailable on the cRIO.
* Fixed the bug where dragging out BooleanOutputs in the PoultryInspector would set them to false immediately.
* Fixed default positioning of the Logging Component in the PoultryInspector.

We also now have standalone downloads of the PoultryInspector binaries available with each new release. See the current release on GitHub for the binary download. (Scroll down a bit.)
