OK, so let's get this out of the way, there's some actual changes mixed
in here too. I'm really sorry:
- Turtles can now not be renamed with unnamed item tags (previously it
would clear the name, this seemed a little unideal).
- commands.getBlock(s)Data will also include NBT.
Now, onto the horror story which is these inspection changes:
- Make a lot of methods static
- Typo fixes
- Make utility classes final + private constructor
- Lots of reformatting (ifs -> ternary, invert control flow, etc...)
- ???
- Profit!
I'm so going to regret this - can pretty much guarantee this is going to
break something.
Prior to this change we would schedule a new task which attached
peripherals on the ComputerThread on the empty task queue. This had a
couple of issues:
- Slow running tasks on the computer thread could result in delays in
peripherals being attached (technically, though rarely seen in
practice).
- Now that the ComputerThread runs tasks at once, there was a race
condition in computers being turned on/off and peripherals being
attached/detached.
Note, while the documentation said that peripherals would only be
(at|de)tached on the computer thread, wired modems would attach on the
server thread, so this was not the case in practice.
One should be aware that peripherals are still detached on the
computer thread, most notably when turning a computer on/off.
This is almost definitely going to break some less well-behaved mods,
and possible some of the well behaved ones. I've tested this on SC, so
it definitely works fine with Computronics and Plethora.
This provides a mechanism for peripherals to see what else a computer is
connected to - and then interact with those peripherals.
We also add the ability to query what block or tile a peripheral
targets. This allows one to interact with the original block of adjacent
peripherals instead.
