v4.1.0

This is the second release of AdvantageKit for 2025. For more information, check the What's New in 2025? page of the documentation. Projects using AdvantageKit v4.0.0 can be upgraded using the dependency manager in VSCode. Projects running older versions of AdvantageKit (including the 2025 beta) cannot be upgraded in-place; start with one of the template projects and copy code from previous projects as necessary. Feedback, feature requests, and bug reports are welcome on the issues page.

Template Changes

• Fixed DriveIOTalonSRX implementation in diff drive and KitBot templates (9f96069)
• Added vision template
• Updated WPILib and vendordep versions

Library Changes

• Updated to WPILib 2025.2.1
• Added support for superclass fields with AutoLog (#156)
• Fixed initialization of LoggedNetwork values before first periodic cycle (#160)
• Added support for simulation on Linux arm64 devices
• Fixed support for Ubuntu 22.04

v4.0.0

This is the kickoff release of AdvantageKit for 2025. For more information, check the What's New in 2025? page of the documentation. To get started, we highly recommend starting with one of the template projects and copying code from other projects as necessary. Feedback, feature requests, and bug reports are welcome on the issues page.

Notably, this release includes the 2025 KitBot template project and switches Maven hosting from GitHub Packages to the WPILib Artifactory site. This change will improve the stability of Maven hosting and simplify the installation process. Please see the updated installation docs for details, or download one of the updated template projects.

Warning

This release does not include the AdvantageKit vision template because the 2025 version of PhotonVision/PhotonLib is not available as of release. We will release the updated version of the vision template once PhotonVision 2025 is available.
