It's not entirely clear what the correct behaviour of fs.getDir("..")
should be, and there's not much consensus between various languages.
I think the intended behaviour of this function is to move "up" one
directory level in the path, meaning it should return "../..".
CC tries to preserve sharing of objects when crossing the Lua/Java
boundary. For instance, if you queue (or send over a modem)
`{ tbl, tbl }`, then the returned table will have `x[1] == x[2]`.
However, this sharing causes issues with Java singletons. If some code
uses a singleton collection (such as List.of()) in multiple places, then
the same Lua table will be used in all those locations. It's incredibly
easy to accidentally, especially when using using Stream.toList.
For now, we special case these collections and don't de-duplicate them.
I'm not wild about this (it's a bit of a hack!), but I think it's
probably the easiest solution for now.
Fixes#1940
There's a mismatch between how Lua and JSON's values are defined, which
means that serialisation is a little confusing at times. This commit
attempts to document them a little better.
Closes#1885, closes#1920
We don't actually use this functionality in other projects (e.g.
emulators). In fact the method to add new APIs only exists in the mod
itself!
We still need some mechanism to remove mounts when the computer is
shutdown. We add a new ApiLifecycle interface (with startup and
shutdown hooks), and use those in the ComputerSystem impl.
This avoids us having to support requireless environments inside
cc.strings.
I do kinda wonder if os.loadAPI-loaded files should also have their own
shared "require", just so we're not loading 10 copies of cc.expect.
Build system:
- Switch to our new maven server. This has a cleaner separation between
published packages and mirrored packages, to avoid leaking those into
other people's builds.
- Update Gradle and Loom versions.
Code:
- Link to definitions instead in the breaking changes page.
- Fix several unused variable warnings.
Other:
- Remove unsupported Minecraft versions from the issue template.
- Update Gradle to 8.7
- Configure IntelliJ to build internally, rather than delgating to
Gradle. We've seen some weird issues with using delegated builds, so
best avoided.
- Remove gitpod config. This has been broken for a while (used Java 16
rather than 17) and nobody noticed, so I suspect nobody uses this.
- Mention the timer event in os.startTimer. Really we should have a
similar example here too, but let's at least link the two for now.
- Fix strftime link
