I’ve been looking around http://firstforge.wpi.edu/ and the closest thing to a changelog I have been able to find is http://firstforge.wpi.edu/sf/wiki/do/viewPage/projects.wpilib/wiki/JavaReleaseNotes which was from 2011.
Maybe I am looking in the wrong places, but I’d like to see what has actually changed between last year and this year. (well, the most recent updates) The code base is way too big for me to look through everything, so is there anywhere the WPI updates with what they are changing and implementing?
This is for 2012 -> 2013: http://wpilib.screenstepslive.com/s/3120/m/7961/l/80275-new-features-for-2013
Basically, major changes/additions involving:
- RobotBuilder
- SmartDashboard
- LiveWindow
- NetworkTables
Although that is helpful, I’ve already seen that site. I was more looking for specific changelogs for the underlying WPIlibj.
Oh. The 2013 version didn’t come with a changelog.
