This removes the patching of fs and http, and replaces them with their
own standard Lua APIs. This makes the bios a little simpler, and means
we can move the documentation in line.
I was going to do something productive tonight, but then this happened.
Whatever, I'm retired, I'm allowed to make my entire existence just
adding 50px to things. Heck, maybe I'll do the same tomorrow too.
- Start making the summary lines for modules a little better. Just say
what the module does, rather than "The X API does Y" or "Provides Y".
There's still a lot of work to be done here.
- Bundle prism.js on the page, so we can highlight non-Lua code.
- Copy our local_ips wiki page to the main docs.
It's probably the lowest traffic module :p.
Also (somewhat) improve the deprecated messages in os.loadAPI. We really
need a proper article on require and converting from os.loadAPI.
- Add remaining docs for the turtle API
- Add documentation for the fluid storage peripheral.
- Enforce undocumented warning for most modules (only io and window
remaining).
"Finish" in quotes, because these are clearly a long way from perfect.
I'm bad at writing docs, OK!
illuaminate does not handle Java files, for obvious reasons. In order to
get around that, we have a series of stub files within /doc/stub which
mirrored the Java ones. While this works, it has a few problems:
- The link to source code does not work - it just links to the stub
file.
- There's no guarantee that documentation remains consistent with the
Java code. This change found several methods which were incorrectly
documented beforehand.
We now replace this with a custom Java doclet[1], which extracts doc
comments from @LuaFunction annotated methods and generates stub-files
from them. These also contain a @source annotation, which allows us to
correctly link them back to the original Java code.
There's some issues with this which have yet to be fixed. However, I
don't think any of them are major blockers right now:
- The custom doclet relies on Java 9 - I think it's /technically/
possible to do this on Java 8, but the API is significantly uglier.
This means that we need to run javadoc on a separate JVM.
This is possible, and it works locally and on CI, but is definitely
not a nice approach.
- illuaminate now requires the doc stubs to be generated in order for
the linter to pass, which does make running the linter locally much
harder (especially given the above bullet point).
We could notionally include the generated stubs (or at least a cut
down version of them) in the repo, but I'm not 100% sure about that.

- Refer to this as "data" rather than "metadata". I'm still not sure
where the meta came from - blame OpenPeripheral I guess.
- Likewise, use getItemDetail within inventory methods, rather than
getItemMeta.
- Refactor common data-getting code into one class. This means that
turtle.getItemDetail, turtle.inspect and commands.getBlockInfo all
use the same code.
- turtle.getItemDetail now accepts a second "detailed" parameter which
will include the full metadata (#471, #452).
- Tags are now only included in the detailed list. This is a breaking
change, however should only affect one version (1.89.x) and I'm not
convinced that the previous behaviour was safe.
No clue how we're going to do this for the dynamic peripheral system
if/when that ships, but this is a good first stage.
Like the Java APIs, this relies on stub files, so we can't link to the
implementation which is a bit of a shame. However, it's a good first
step.
- Lint references to unknown fields of modules, excluding the keys and
colours modules. This caught several silly errors in our stub files,
but nothing else.
- Lint on using unknown globals. This highlighted a couple of really
silly mistakes. Fixes#427.
- Add documentation for fs.attributes, fs.getCapacity and pocket, as
they were not defined before.

This adds documentation comments to many of CC's Lua APIs, and
a couple of the Java ones, through the use of stubs. We then
export these to HTML using illuaminate [1] and upload them to our
documentation site [2].
Uploads currently occur on pushes to master and any release/tag. The
site is entirely static - there is no way to switch between versions,
etc... but hopefully we can improve this in the future.
