I know a lot of you were waiting for this, it’s finally here! Install it using the mechanism described in the docs via robotpy-installer. It is lightly tested, so please report any issues you find to github.
This release does NOT support simulation at this time. Expect that to happen next week sometime.
API documentation can be found at http://robotpy.readthedocs.io/projects/ctre/en/stable/api.html
Thanks! We have a few old robots we’d like to get running with this for practice while we build our new bot. They are all running CAN Talon controllers. Do I understand correctly we’ll have to use ctre.canifier? An example on github shows ctre.CANtalon() but that doesn’t appear to be availabe in this release?
OK, yeah, I found last year’s libraries and I see the the modules are different that what is in the 2018 release. Not to figure out how to set up the CAN controller for the Talons. 
OK, also found this:
https://github.com/CrossTheRoadElec/Phoenix-Documentation/blob/master/Migration%20Guide.md
explains some of the differences. Just posted here for anyone else that may be confused.
Yes, we should update the examples.
2018.0.2 has been released, and has a variety of fixes available. No simulation or tests support available yet.
2018.1.0 is now released, and has bare minimum simulation/test support for TalonSRX/VictorSRX (eg, only set() is implemented).
