Changelog

Added

  • Added support for the V5 GPS Sensor (#79)
  • Added support for custom banner themes configurable through the vexide::main macro (#127)

Fixed

  • Fixed an issue where the distance sensor relative_size returned a u32 when it can be negative. (#116)
  • Fixed an issue preventing the Screen::draw_buffer function from working properly. (#128)
  • Fixed an issue where panic messages would not be displayed even when the display_panics feature was enabled if the screens render mode was set to DoubleBuffered. (#134)
  • GpsImu should now validate on the correct port. (#141)

Changed

  • Refactored the distance sensor API. All readings from the sensor are now read at once in a object method that can be possibly None if no object was detected. (#122) (Breaking Change)
  • Adjusted distance sensor status code errors to be more clear.
  • Overhauled the design of the startup banner.
  • Adjusted distance sensor error names. (#113) (Breaking Change)
  • Renamed SmartDevice::port_index and SmartPort::index to SmartDevice::port_number and SmartPort::port_number. (#121) (Breaking Change)
  • Renamed AdiDevice::port_index and AdiPort::index to AdiDevice::port_number and AdiDevice::port_number. (#121) (Breaking Change)
  • SmartPort::device_type now no longer returns a Result. (#121) (Breaking Change)
  • Updated the names of certain misspelled enum variants, constants, and fields. (#132) (Breaking Change)
  • Marks many futures as #[must_use] to warn when futures are created without awaiting them. (#112)
  • Changes the banner attribute syntax in the vexide::main macro. (#127) (Breaking Change)
  • Controller joystick axis getters now return f64 instead of f32. (#133) (Breaking Change)
  • Fixed an issue where the async executor would block indefinetly on the first program run after a Brain reboot (#139)
  • Removed the critical_section module from vexide_core, since vexide doesn’t use interrupts and it can potentially break VEXos operations. (#144) (Breaking Change)
  • Switched to a hard-float libm build with up to 6 times faster floating point operations. (#145)
