There existed a race condition where either the client could pass an
item from one pipe to another (with intact ItemStack NBT data) or a
packet could arrive from the server to inject the item into the pipe
(without NBT data). This resulted in incorrect Icons being occasionally
displayed for a moment for Items that use NBT to determine the Icon
(Forestry Bees/Trees).
To eliminate this race condition, all Traveling Items are now cached
(weakly) and ItemStacks are no longer sent as part of the Traveler
Packet. The client must instead request the ItemStack from the server.
The bonus being that the ItemStack (NBT and all) needs only be requested
when it first enters the network.
This also has the affect of further reducing bandwidth usage by Item
pipes, though it should be noted that Item pipes where already the least
bandwidth intensive pipe.
Additionally I rewrote the Item Grouping code. I'd never looked at it
before, but I figured I should make sure it properly maintains the pipe
state after grouping. What I found was 200 lines of wtf code that was
horribly outdated and broken. I replaced it with 20 lines of code that
are less dependent on implementation details of how pipes work. -.-
Quartz gates act like gold gates with 2 exceptions:
They can connect to all pipe wire types.
There are 3 additional gate triggers that function as timers.
The timers have a short, medium, and long mode which can be set via config.
IMC has a built-in way of sending ItemStacks through it, and it would be simpler if mods could simply use that, instead of encoding the ID and metadata a string. Decoding is a lot simpler too, just one line.
Modified Logemerald:
-Added ability to paint items as they are extracted
-Renamed to Emzuli, texture and recipe changed accordingly
PipeEvents:
-Added PipeEvents a replacement for Hook interfaces, precursor to 1.7
Pipe API
-Implement methods with signature "eventHandler(PipeEventClass event)"
to receive events
Widgets:
-General improvements for use as a button
This is an action sensitive extraction pipe. The pipe can be configured
with 4 different items and actions will decide which one to extract from
the connected inventory.
Changes:
-The "crafting grid" is gone.
-API completely reworked
-Patterns can be "stateful", this could bring major improvements to the
scanning algorithms if utilized
-You can change the pattern via Gate Actions
-Various peripherally related GUI framework changes
