Changelog#

v0.7.0#

Core#

  • Server side functions

    • Extend KRPC.Expression to build server side functions, which the server evaluates (#503, #517, #521, #1124)

    • Allow a function to declare local variables, loop, branch, assign, return early, raise and handle exceptions, and call a procedure that returns no value (#1124)

    • Allow a function to work on strings, nullable values, and lists, sets and dictionaries, including changing them (#1124)

    • Add KRPC.RunFunction, which runs a function once within a single physics tick, and KRPC.CompileFunction and KRPC.AddFunctionStream (#1124)

    • Add KRPC.Expression.StateVariable, a variable that keeps its value between evaluations of a function (#1124)

    • Add KRPC.Expression.CallWithArguments, CreateStruct, GetField, IsNull, Negate, Conditional, ConditionalAnd, ConditionalOr, the empty collections and a constant for every type (#1124)

    • Add KRPC.Expression.ReturnType and HasReturnType (#1124)

    • Add KRPC.TypeCode and the Code, Service, Name, Types and Nullable properties of KRPC.Type, which names every type a procedure takes or returns (#1124)

    • Add the StdLib service, of scalar mathematics and vector and quaternion operations, with StdLib.Print for debugging a function (#1125)

    • Widen numbers, tuples and collections to a common type in KRPC.Expression.Invoke, Cast, CreateList, CreateSet, CreateDictionary and Concat (#1124)

    • Breaking Rename KRPC.Expression.Function to Lambda, and the parameter of KRPC.AddEvent from expression to function (#1124)

    • Breaking Renumber the procedures of the KRPC service, so a client that calls them by id must use stubs generated for this version (#1124)

    • Breaking Type KRPC.Expression.Power by both operands, require a constant index in Get, limit CreateTuple to seven elements, and reject calls to KRPC procedures (#1124)

    • Encode and decode values without reflection, cutting the server cost of a call that passes or returns an object by about three quarters (#1091)

  • Game state

    • Breaking Remove KRPC.CurrentGameScene, replaced by KRPC.GameScene (#1140)

    • The AutoPilot now controls pitch and yaw together, so the nose tracks a straight path to the target and holding a roll no longer curves that path (#882)

    • Fix AutoPilot.ReferenceFrame raising an error when set to a docking port reference frame (#882)

  • Reference frames

    • Fix Maneuver and ManeuverOrbital reference frame velocity (previously returned zero; now returns the orbital velocity at the node UT) (#880)

    • Add Node.Rotation (#880)

    • Fix Node objects whose maneuver node was removed by Control.RemoveNodes, another Node object or the in-game UI: all members now raise an error, instead of silently reading and writing the detached node (#975)

    • Fix CelestialBody.Rotation returning incorrect values before a flight scene loads (#890)

  • Flight and aerodynamics

    • Breaking Add a rotation parameter to Flight.SimulateAerodynamicForceAt to set the vessel attitude (angle of attack and sideslip) independently of velocity. Pass the current rotation for the previous behavior (#915)

    • Add Flight.SurfacePrograde and Flight.SurfaceRetrograde direction vectors (surface-relative velocity direction, matching navball surface mode) (#582)

    • Fix Flight.AngleOfAttack and Flight.SideslipAngle treating dot product as radians instead of using asin (#880)

    • Add Flight.AerodynamicTorque, the live counterpart to Flight.AerodynamicForce, giving the net aerodynamic torque acting on the vessel about its center of mass on the current physics frame; not available with FAR (#914)

    • Add Flight.SimulateAerodynamicTorqueAt to simulate the aerodynamic torque about the vessel’s center of mass, for a hypothetical attitude and angular velocity, with both stock aerodynamics and FAR, in newton-meters. The torque includes both damping mechanisms the game applies: the change in each part’s local airflow due to rotation, and the per-part rigidbody angular drag (#825, #914, #429)

    • Add Flight.SimulateAerodynamicWrenchAt to evaluate stock aerodynamic force and torque together at a hypothetical center-of-mass state, attitude, body rate and atmospheric ephemeris time (#914)

    • Fix Flight.SimulateAerodynamicForceAt computing incorrect lift for command pods and other parts with a perpendicular-only lifting-surface module: cube body lift was applied even where the game disables it (a pod with a heatshield occupying its bottom node has none), and lifting-surface modules were evaluated against stale internal airflow state, so results depended on the game context the call was made from (landed, in vacuum, or in atmospheric flight) (#914)

    • Fix Part.Lift, Flight.Lift and Flight.AerodynamicForce including stale body lift for parts whose body lift the game suppresses, e.g. a pod with a heatshield attached (#971)

    • A Flight is freed once the reference frame it is measured in is gone, rather than being kept for as long as its vessel exists (#1072)

  • Control

    • Breaking Control.SAS now throws an exception when set to true while the autopilot is engaged, matching AutoPilot.SAS. Previously the write was accepted and the autopilot silently switched SAS back off on the next physics tick (#492)

    • Fix Control.SASMode being dropped when set in the same physics tick as enabling SAS (#236)

    • Add Control.PitchTrim, Control.YawTrim and Control.RollTrim to get/set the persistent pitch, yaw and roll trim of the active vessel (#863)

    • Fix ReactionWheel.AvailableTorque not considering authority limiter setting (#909)

    • Fix RCS force and torque vector calculations using max thrust rather than available thrust (#909)

    • Fix RCS.Active reporting a shielded thruster as inactive when it is able to thrust while shielded (#975)

    • Fix ControlSurface.AvailableTorque returning inconsistent signs (ModuleControlSurface negates the roll axis); now normalized to positive/negative torque like other parts (#881)

  • Parachutes and wheels

    • Fix Parachute.Deploy being a silent no-op for RealChute parachutes (#382)

    • Add Parachute.SafeState reporting whether it is currently safe to deploy the parachute (safe, risky, unsafe, or not applicable) (#977)

    • Add Wheel.SteeringAngleAuto to get/set automatic speed-based steering angle limiting (#975)

  • Deployable parts

    • Breaking Replace the RadiatorState, SolarPanelState, AntennaState, LegState, WheelState and CargoBayState enumerations with a single DeployableState enumeration, whose members are Deployed, Retracted, Deploying, Retracting and Broken. Radiator.State and SolarPanel.State now report Deployed and Deploying in place of Extended and Extending, and CargoBay.State reports Deployed, Retracted, Deploying and Retracting in place of Open, Closed, Opening and Closing. The underlying values are unchanged, so only the enumeration and member names need updating (#986)

    • Breaking ResourceHarvester.State is now a DeployableState and no longer reports Active; use ResourceHarvester.Active to check whether the harvester is drilling. The ResourceHarvesterState enumeration is removed and its values renumbered, so clients using it must be regenerated (#986)

    • Fix CargoBay.State reporting Deployed for a closed cargo ramp, and reporting a resting state while the bay was still moving (#986)

  • Robotic parts

    • Breaking RoboticController.AddAxis, AddKeyFrame and ClearAxis now identify an axis by the name of its field, for example targetAngle, instead of by the label shown in the part’s menu, for example “Target Angle”. The names now match those returned by RoboticController.Axes, which previously could not be passed back in, and no longer change with the language the game is running in (#993)

    • Add Parts.RoboticControllers (#985)

    • Add to RoboticController: Enabled, Playing, Position, Length, PlaySpeed, Play and Stop (#985)

    • Add to RoboticHinge: MinAngle, MaxAngle and IsMoving (#985)

    • Add to RoboticRotation: MinAngle, MaxAngle, AllowFullRotation and IsMoving (#985)

    • Add to RoboticRotor: MaxTorque, BrakePercentage and IsMoving (#985)

    • Fix RoboticRotation.CurrentAngle and RoboticRotor.CurrentRPM returning stale values in flight (the KSP fields they read are only refreshed while the part action window is open) (#985)

  • Resource harvesters and converters

    • Fix ResourceHarvester.Active being silently ignored when set while the harvester is deploying; the requested state is now applied when the deploy completes (#983)

    • Fix ResourceHarvester.ExtractionRate returning 0 when part action window is not open (#889)

    • Fix ResourceConverter.State and ResourceHarvester.ThermalEfficiency misreading the KSP status string (#892)

    • Fix Sensor.Value returning zero when the part action window is not open (#883)

  • Part modules, fields and configuration

    • Add PartField, PartEvent and PartAction API (#859)

    • Deprecated the string-dictionary Module field, event and action members (#859)
