  Version 0.16.0 - Windows Stable

  vinzenz released this 2025-07-12 12:51:00 +02:00 | 0 commits to main since this release

  • BREAKING: inherent, added in v0.15.1, has been removed.
  • BREAKING: the Grid trait has been split into Grid and GridMut.
    • As the name suggests, one is read only while the other can also write.
    • Grid previously required impls to provide panicing variants (get, set) and hat default implementations for the non-panicing variants (get_optional, set_optional). Now it is the other way around to avoid double checking.
  • BREAKING: Some methods of structs have moved into methods of traits. See features.
  • BREAKING: CharGrid::load_utf8 has been removed.
  • FEATURE: Added Window and WindowMut as 2D equivalents of a slice
    • They can be created for any Grid or GridMut and implement those traits themselves.
    • Windows are defined by their x- and y-ranges in the original grid.
    • Windows into windows and zero-sized windows are both supported.
    • They can be split into two horizontally or vertically.
    • The contents can be copied into a new ValueGrid.
    • .window and .window_mut helpers have been added to containers. For windows, those will also pre-compute the ranges while reducing type nesting.
  • FEATURE: Moved ValueGrid methods get_col, set_col, get_row and set_row into the Grid/GridMut traits, making them available for windows and bitmaps as well.
  • FEATURE: Moved CharGrid methods get_col_str, set_col_str, get_row_str and set_row_str into the new CharGridExt/CharGridMutExt traits, making them available for windows as well.

  Version 0.15.1 Stable

  vinzenz released this 2025-06-28 08:35:39 +02:00 | 24 commits to main since this release

  • FEATURE: most types now implement Hash
  • FEATURE: Grid trait functions are now inherent to the implementing types, so they can be used without an additional import

  Version 0.15.0 Stable

  vinzenz released this 2025-05-24 13:45:17 +02:00 | 29 commits to main since this release

  • FEATURE: Several types are now Copy, including BinaryOperation and ZST commands.
  • FEATURE: CharGrid now accepts inexactly sized strs for set_row_str and set_col_str.
  • FEATURE: Many conversion functions have been implemented for references. In many cases, this can be used to reduce the number of allocations needed. This also makes it possible to send a reference to a command.
  • FEATURE: Packets can now be serialized to a preexisting buffer.
  • rand has been updated to v0.9 for better compatibility with the 2024 edition of rust.
  • The packet payload is now None instead of a zero-length Vec.
• v0.14.1 7f41875c2a

  Version 0.14.1 Stable

  vinzenz released this 2025-05-04 12:06:21 +02:00 | 45 commits to main since this release

  • FIX: many examples used UdpSocket::bind instead of UdpSocket::bind_connect
  • FIX #5: The display now stops reading UTF-8 chars for the CharGridCommand when encountering a null byte. The library has been changed to add spaces instead.

  version 0.14.0 Stable

  vinzenz released this 2025-05-03 11:48:56 +02:00 | 49 commits to main since this release

  This is a big breaking change for the library.

  • BREAKING: To support commands implemented outside the library, the Command enum has been renamed to TypedCommand.
  • BREAKING: Connections have been removed. While this sounds like a huge change, the connections were thin wrappers around the underlying transports.
  • BREAKING: The commands have been renamed to better reflect their usage.
  • BREAKING: Nearly all calls to panic!, .unwrap() and .expect() have been removed and signatures changed to reflect that. Apart from out-of-bounds accesses on the containers, the library will not crash your app anymore.
  • BREAKING: The BitVec type alias has been renamed to DisplayBitVec because of an issue in cbindgen that affected servicepoint_binding_c.
  • FEATURE: Add UdpSocketExt to easily use a UdpSocket in a way similar to the old connections.
  • FEATURE: Command is now a new trait that gets auto-implemented if the required supertraits are.
  • FEATURE: Each command is now a struct with public fields. This means a command can be mutated and functions can declare specific types in their signatures.
  • FEATURE: Containers like CharGrid and Bitmap have gotten new TryInto implementations for their command struct. That means to send a bitmap to the top left of the screen with default compression, you can write BitmapCommand::from(bitmap).
  • FEATURE: Some structs and enum values have been annotated with a repr attribute to make them usable in language bindings.

  Migration Guide

  • Some functions now return None or Err when called improperly. To keep the old behavior, add an .expect() or .unwrap().
  • Replace usages of servicepoint::BitVec with servicepoint::DisplayBitVec.

  Connection

  • Connection::Fake can be replaced by FakeConnection - though the usefulness of that decreased.
  • Connection::Websocket does not have an equivalent anymore. You should use tungstenite directly by first turning the command into a packet and then the packet into a Vec<u8>.
  • Instead of Connection::open use UdpSocket::bind_connect after adding UdpSocketExt to the imports.
  • Instead of calling socket.send(command), use socket.send_command(command).

  Command names

  v0.13	v0.14
  Command::Clear	ClearCommand
  Command::Utf8Data	CharGridCommand
  Command::Brightness	GlobalBrightnessCommand
  Command::BitmapLinearWin	BitmapCommand
  Command::Cp437Data	Cp437GridCommand
  Command::CharBrightness	BrightnessGridCommand
  Command::HardReset	HardResetCommand
  Command::FadeOut	FadeOutCommand
  Command::BitmapLegacy	BitmapLegacyCommand

  Command::BitmapLinearAnd	BitVecCommand { operation: And }
  Command::BitmapLinearOr	BitVecCommand { operation: Or }
  Command::BitmapLinearXor	BitVecCommand { operation: Xor }

  Known issues

  • The examples use UdpSocket::bind instead of bind_connect, which makes them crash at runtime because the system call fails. This is fixed in v0.14.1
