Complete Windows compatibility overhaul with robust cross-platform SDK management.
This release candidate establishes feature freeze for the 1.0.0 release.
Key improvements:
- Fixed Android SDK installation on Windows
* Use cmd.exe wrapper for sdkmanager.bat with piped stdin
* Properly reorganize cmdline-tools directory structure
* Write license acceptances synchronously to avoid hangs
- Fixed FTC SDK configuration
* Auto-generate local.properties with Android SDK path
* Escape backslashes in Kotlin build.gradle.kts strings
* Support both new installs and upgrades via ensure_local_properties()
- Enhanced Windows console output
* Enable ANSI color support via enable_ansi_support crate
* Maintain color compatibility across Windows versions
- Improved error handling and debugging
* Added comprehensive logging throughout SDK installation
* Better context messages for troubleshooting failures
Cross-platform testing verified on:
- Windows 11 with Eclipse Adoptium JDK 21
- Linux (existing support maintained)
Breaking changes: None
This RC introduces feature freeze - subsequent 1.0.x releases will be
bug fixes only. New features deferred to 1.1.0.
Closes Windows compatibility milestone.
- Fix unused `project_path` parameter warning in make_executable()
- Add build-release.sh for automated binary packaging
- Update .gitignore to exclude release artifacts
- Support cross-compilation for Linux and Windows binaries
Release artifacts are now built with ./build-release.sh and uploaded
to Gitea releases separately, keeping the git repo clean.
Cross-platform tool for generating clean, testable FTC robot projects
without editing the SDK installation.
Features:
- Standalone project generation with proper separation from SDK
- Per-project SDK configuration via .weevil.toml
- Local unit testing support (no robot required)
- Cross-platform build/deploy scripts (Linux/macOS/Windows)
- Project upgrade system preserving user code
- Configuration management commands
- Comprehensive test suite (11 passing tests)
- Zero-warning builds
Architecture:
- Pure Rust implementation with embedded Gradle wrapper
- Projects use deployToSDK task to copy code to FTC SDK TeamCode
- Git-ready projects with automatic initialization
- USB and WiFi deployment with auto-detection
Commands:
- weevil new <name> - Create new project
- weevil upgrade <path> - Update project infrastructure
- weevil config <path> - View/modify project configuration
- weevil sdk status/install/update - Manage SDKs
Addresses the core problem: FTC's SDK structure forces students to
edit framework internals instead of separating concerns like industry
standard practices. Weevil enables proper software engineering workflows
for robotics education.
