Gobot 0.5 is out!
We're happy to announce the release of Gobot 0.5! This release is the culmination of lessons learned at GopherCon and many weeks of hard work.
Here's a overview of the changes, but if you want to see more check out the compare view on GitHub.
Changelog
-
Idomatic clean up: All files and tests have been refactored and ran through
golint
-
Removed reflections throughout packages: We used reflection in a few situations to retrieve elements from structs and execute functions. Those reflections have been removed in favor in better interface design
-
All officially supported platforms are now in ./platforms: Instead of each platform being in a seperate repo, they are all now included in the main Gobot repo.
-
API is now a new package ./api: The RESTful API is now in a seperate
api
package and must be explicitely imported for use in your Gobot program. -
All platforms examples are in ./examples: All examples has now been moved into a shared
examples
folder. -
Replaced martini with net/http: We no longer use Martini as our API server, and now use the standard net/http package with pat as our pattern muxer.
-
Replaced ginkgo/gomega with system testing package: We now use the system
testing
package for testing -
Refactor gobot/robot/device commands: User defined API commands have been completely refactored and now have an easier definition. You may now attach a command to your robot like this

Added Event type: Added a new type for registering and responding to device events
-
Replaced Master type with Gobot type: The
Master
type is now known asGobot
