The addons.Addon instance (ghost) is much more interesting than its base
path. The base path is immediately accessible from the addons.Addon
instance using its 'basePath' attribute. The addons.Addon instance
allows main() to easily access essentially all of the add-on metadata,
including the add-on identifier, which makes it possible to write
main.nas without hardcoding the add-on id at all.
This is an incompatible change of course, so better do it now than
later.
- Add new Emesary notification type for NAV/COM data
- Create Update/Publish interfaces using Emesary from properties
- Use interfaces to drive updates to EIS and NAV/COM frequencies
- Change the PageGroupController to a "proper" MFD page
With FlightGear commit 4d36082, the contents of /addon/authors (resp.
/addon/maintainers) in addon-metadata.xml files is now structured. It
may contain an arbitrary number of 'author' (resp. 'maintainer') child
nodes, each of which contains subnodes 'name', 'email' and 'url' ('name'
being mandatory, 'email' and 'url' being optional).
This commit updates Docs/README.add-ons regarding this change in the
syntax for addon-metadata.xml files, as well as the related
modifications to the add-on Nasal interface.
- DTO MapStructure layer to provide a DTO line to a lat/lon
- Support for scrolling lists in the PFD/GroupElement
- Support MAP (NavigationMap) and ENGINE (EIS) soft-keys from other pages.
By separating out the bridges this could be used in the future to transmit Emesary properties at a different rate. It is one of the future possible methods to improve MP communications and dual/multi controls
Document new fields:
authors
maintainers
license/{designation,file,url}
url/{home-page,download,support,code-repository}
tags
Add precisions concerning how fields are parsed, a bit more structure,
etc.
