    v1.0.0 - First Stable Release 🎉 Stable

    eric released this 2026-01-27 01:39:34 +00:00 | 22 commits to master since this release

    Weevil has reached 1.0.0! This is the first production-ready stable release.

    After extensive testing on Windows, Linux, and macOS, Weevil is ready for FTC teams to use in production. This release provides a robust, cross-platform project generator that separates team code from the FTC SDK, enables local testing, and simplifies the build/deployment workflow.

    What is Weevil?

    Weevil generates standalone FTC robot projects that:

    • Keep your code separate from the SDK
    • Support local unit testing (no robot needed!)
    • Work with multiple SDK versions simultaneously
    • Generate all build/deploy scripts automatically
    • Enable proper version control workflows

    In short: Students focus on building robots, not navigating SDK internals.

    Highlights of 1.0.0

    ✅ Complete Windows Support

    • Fully tested Windows deployment pipeline
    • Robust batch file path parsing
    • Correct APK discovery and installation
    • Proper ADB integration with error reporting

    ✅ Cross-Platform Build System

    • Single command builds on Windows, Linux, and macOS
    • Automatic Gradle wrapper configuration
    • Smart SDK path resolution
    • Platform-specific scripts generated automatically

    ✅ Project Management

    • Per-project SDK configuration via .weevil.toml
    • weevil upgrade command to update infrastructure
    • Config migration for legacy projects
    • SDK version tracking

    ✅ Developer Experience

    • Local unit testing with JUnit 5
    • Git initialization with proper .gitignore
    • Clean project structure following industry standards
    • Comprehensive error messages and diagnostics
