current platform by default, and only builds tests when building for the
current platform. Mac builds and VS2015 builds are fixed.
The other big change in this update is the introduction of Debug and
Release builds. Debug builds are built with -O0 and -g. Release builds are
built with -O2 and -g. For GCC-based builds, the resulting shared object
is copied, stripped of debug information, and a debug link is set up to
the copied shared object. This allows the release build to clock in at
around 600 KB. On Windows, the debug info is already stored in a separate
PDB file, so this copy and strip is not necessary.
ntcore is being separated out from the rest of allwpilib. All other
builds will consume a published maven dependency from this project.
There are 4 possible publishing targets now: release, stable, beta, and
development. These are specified on the command line via -Prepo=<repo
name>.

This enables listeners to be notified of not only value updates, but also flag
changes and deletions by using a bitmask to specify what notifications are
desired. The old API (which only provided a new/not new) flag is still
supported. This also subsumes the feature to listen to local changes (that's
one of the bitmask options).
The default behavior is to only notify remote changes, but for some
applications (e.g. GUI's) it's advantageous to know about local
changes as well.
This is (slightly) optimized in that local changes only result in
additional resources being consumed if (any) local listeners have been
created.
- Ignore no-op calls to setServerMode() / setClientMode().
- Duplicate calls to initialize() act as a restart.
- shutdown() silently does nothing if not running.
The JVM doesn't always do a good job of telling JNI modules that the JVM
is going away, which results in a crash in the JavaGlobal and/or
JavaWeakGlobal destructors as they try to delete the associated references
after the JVM has already gone away.
To protect against this, the Notifier now has a static variable that's set
when the Notifier instance (a singleton) is destroyed. This is used by
JavaGlobal and JavaWeakGlobal to detect when a process exit is in process.
The JNI bindings are built directly into the shared library. In the gradle
build, all built shared libraries are embedded into the generated jar.
Java bindings may be disabled via -DWITHOUT_JAVA (cmake) or -PskipJava=true
(gradle).
TODO:
- getEntryInfo() and RPC are not yet implemented.
- The cmake build doesn't integrate the built objects into the jar.
- The Java client and server tests are not built (but have been manually
tested).
This has not yet been tested on Windows.
