- Twine, StringRef, Format, and NativeFormatting have been removed
- Logging now uses fmtlib style formatting
- Nearly all uses of wpi::outs/errs have been replaced with fmt::print() or
std::puts()/std::fputs() (for unformatted strings).
- A wpi/fmt/raw_ostream.h header has been added to enable
fmt::print() with wpi::raw_ostream
This is a breaking change to the WebSockets layer to align it with
recent specification documentation work.
To support this, HAL SimValue changed readonly to a direction enum.
This allows specifying bidirectional in addition to input and output.
The SimValue change is specifically designed to avoid API and ABI breakage.
This is completely transparent in C++; in Java a new callback class was added,
and the old readonly functions have been marked deprecated.
A new SimValue creation function for enums allows specifying double values
for each enum value, not just strings. This allows mapping enum values to
doubles in the WebSockets layer.
A ":" in the SimDevice name now maps it to different WebSocket types (e.g.
"Accel:Name" becomes type "Accel", device "Name"). The type is hidden
in the GUI.
Other WebSockets changes:
* Implemented match_time and game_data
* Added joystick rumble data
* Added builtin accelerometer support
* SimValue enums are mapped to string and double value on WS interface
* Added WebSockets protocol specification
* Added READMEs
This allows access to HAL-level simulation data via a WebSocket connection.
The server additionally serves local files.
The following environment variables can be used for configuration:
HALSIMWS_USERROOT (server) - local directory to use for file serving for /user/ URIs, defaults to ./sim/user
HALSIMWS_SYSROOT (server) - local directory to use for file serving for all other URIs, defaults to ./sim
HALSIMWS_URI (client or server) - WebSocket URI, defaults to /wpilibws
HALSIMWS_PORT (client or server) - port number, defaults to 8080
HALSIMWS_HOST (client) - host to connect to, defaults to localhost
