This is the second official release for the Strongback Java Library that works with the 2017 WPILib for Java (version 2017.1.1), the CTRE TalonSRX library (version 2017_v1), and the navX-MXP library (version 3.0.323). This release of Strongback is not compatible with versions of the WPILib for 2016 or earlier.

This release has the following changes since the 2017.1.0 release:

  • Fix the checkTolerance and initTable methods in SoftwarePIDController
  • Allow TalonControllers to be built from existing CANTalon instances.
  • Fix incorrect indices for Microsoft Sidewinder
  • Fix retract method in MockSolenoid
  • Added MecanumDrive functionality

To install or upgrade the Strongback Java Library on your computer, download and use the new standalone Strongback CLI client. You can use this utility to switch between any version of the Strongback Java Library as well as show what you already have installed. See the Getting Started guide for details.

This release uses the updated versioning scheme, in which the major release number now signifies the FRC season in which it was introduced. The WPILib for Java versioning scheme has also changed in a similar fashion, so it should be easier to match up a Strongback Java Library version with the appropriate versions of WPILib for Java.
