After several weeks of carefully arranging ribbons, we pull the string
and end up with, ... a bit of a messy bow. There were still some things
I'd missed.
- Split the mod into a common (vanilla-only) project and Forge-specific
project. This gives us room to add Fabric support later on.
- Split the project into main/client source sets. This is not currently
statically checked: we'll do that soon.
- Rename block/item/tile entities to use suffixes rather than prefixes.
It should be possible to consume the ComputerCraft's core (i.e.
non-Minecraft code) in other projects, such as emulators. While this
has been possible for years, it's somewhat tricky from a maintenance
perspective - it's very easy to accidentally add an MC dependency
somewhere!
By publishing a separate "core" jar, we can better distinguish the
boundaries between our Lua runtime and the Minecraft-specific code.
Ideally we could have one core project (rather than separate core and
core-api modules), and publish a separate "api" jar, like we do for the
main mod. However, this isn't really possible to express using Maven
dependencies, and so we must resort to this system.
Of course, this is kinda what the Java module system is meant to solve,
but unfortunately getting that working with Minecraft is infeasible.
- Correctly handle Git commands failing. We need an actual default
value, not just null!
- Use run/ and build/tmp/ for temporary test locations, not
/test-files.
We now fuzz UploadFileMessage, generating random files and checking they
round-trip correctly.
The joy of having a long-lasting refactor branch with an absolutely
massive diff, is that you end up spotting bugs, and then it's a massive
pain to merge the fix back into trunk!
Previously illumainate required manual users to manually download it and
place it in ./bin/. This is both inconvenient for the user, and makes it
hard to ensure people are running the "right" version.
We now provide a small Gradle plugin which registers illuaminate as a
ependency, downloading the appropriate (now versioned!) file. This also
theoretically supports Macs, though I don't have access to one to test
this.
This enables the following changes:
- The Lua lint script has been converted to a Gradle task (./gradle
lintLua).
- illuaminateDocs now uses a task definition with an explicit output
directory. We can now consume this output as an input to another
task, and get a task dependency implicitly.
- Move the pre-commit config into the root of the tree. We can now use
the default GitHub action to run our hooks.
- Simplify CONTRIBUTING.md a little bit. Hopefully it's less
intimidating now.
Provides a basic interface for running examples on tweaked.cc. This is probably
janky as anything, but it works on my machine.
This is the culmination of 18 months of me building far too much infrastructure
(copy-cat, illuaminate), so that's nice I guess.
I should probably get out more.
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.

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.

See #354
- Remove Lua script to generate recipes/advancements for coloured
disks, turtle upgrades and pocket upgrades. Replacing them with Lua
ones.
- Generate most block drops via the data generator system. Aside from
cables, they all follow one of two templates.
- Move all HTTP tasks to a unified "MonitoredResource" model. This
provides a uniform way of tracking object's lifetimes and disposing
of them when complete.
- Rewrite HTTP requests to use Netty instead of standard Java. This
offers several advantages:
- We have access to more HTTP verbs (mostly PATCH).
- We can now do http -> https redirects.
- We no longer need to spawn in a new thread for each HTTP request.
While we do need to run some tasks off-thread in order to resolve
IPs, it's generally a much shorter task, and so is less likely to
inflate the thread pool.
- Introduce several limits for the http API:
- There's a limit on how many HTTP requests and websockets may exist
at the same time. If the limit is reached, additional ones will be
queued up until pending requests have finished.
- HTTP requests may upload a maximum of 4Mib and download a maximum
of 16Mib (configurable).
- .getResponseCode now returns the status text, as well as the status
code.
Updated the source code to the version shipped as the 1.80pr0 alpha
release. Also removed some unnecessary files from the LuaJ subfolder
which were bulking up the repository.
