New Updates of ATAK #308

Open tomcha34 opened 1 year ago

tomcha34 commented 1 year ago

Are we able to get an update from ATAK V4.6? Ideally we would catch up to the new release of V4.10. Thank you

talentedbrute commented 11 months ago

Yes this would be helpful to understand the new plugin structure. When can we expect access to gitlab on tak.gov with the release of 5.0?

bisgroves commented 10 months ago

The old plugin structure is still supported via a more concise mechanism and will still ship with ATAK during the 5.X period if not longer.

talentedbrute commented 10 months ago

@bisgroves Are you saying that the pre-4.9 plugin architecture will work in 4.9 and higher? We don't need to convert to the new AbstractPlugin class?

bisgroves commented 10 months ago

Correct, the changes you might need will be minor.

talentedbrute commented 10 months ago

@bisgroves So updates to the new AbstractPlugin are still required for 4.9 and later, got it. Any idea when 5.0 source will be available to CIV developers via GitHub or git.tak.gov per the 2023 TAK Offsite brief given by Ryan?

Public access to modern ATAK source would be nice

bisgroves commented 10 months ago

We currently have hit technical roadblocks our interactions with git hub that make this non-trivial. That being said, I believe that there are efforts in progress to move forward. More to follow.

FarrantAlex commented 10 months ago

Sounds like middle management. The old men blocking this will say it’s for the greater good but they just don’t understand it so have defaulted to inaction. Luckily our enemies also have stubborn old men in charge :)

bisgroves commented 10 months ago

Sadly its not that easy but really comes down to a technical issue with how we use github.

talentedbrute commented 10 months ago

I thought, based on Ryan's presentation at the Off-Site in 2023, TPC was moving away from pushing changes to GitHub and opening up the git.tak.gov for CIV (read-only) to reduce the overhead of syncing the two repos.

bisgroves commented 10 months ago

That is all true - the technical issue increased the syncing burden.

talentedbrute commented 7 months ago

Any update on this with the recent release of 5.1?

tomcha34 commented 6 months ago

This has been frozen for a long time. I know TPC has made a commitment to open source, and I am not seeing that. Please provide a meaningful update.
