For people who've updated, checkout my wireless PDA opening door lock. It may be a door lock, but it's really quick and easy to use.

Good to see this out at last! The wiki should be all updated within 12 hours or so.
Dan, on your Twitter it was mentioned that we might be seeing pocket.vibrate & beep, as those don't seem to have been aded will they be coming in future versions?

BEST UPDATE EVER! Except for the fact that it's still for 1.6.4. Pardon me for being an amateur, but is this going to be ported to 1.7?

Yes, I believe it will at sometime in the future.

I sure hope you've checked out the bugs recently reported, Dan. It seems several of them are pretty major.
Otherwise, not bad. I hope to see a (relatively) bug free 1.6.1

I know 1.6.1 for 1.6.4 is coming soon - but is there a word on how soon 1.7.2's version will be available? We just set up a 1.7.2 server and I'm in bad need of my turtles! :)/>

Well, considering 1.7 is a completely new beast from 1.6.x, it may take a while. We've only recently got hold of Forge for 1.7, so don't hold your breath too long.I know 1.6.1 for 1.6.4 is coming soon - but is there a word on how soon 1.7.2's version will be available?

But it's going to be a lot of patching for Dan for sure, and forge did a major rewrite. So some things still exist and some things are moved around…
Anyway, let Dan first fix the bugs, no? :P/>

Thanks for all the effort :)/>.
I was unable to find, if the tools now take damage when equipped and used by turtle and if the vanilla rule about taking extra damage for digging ie. dirt with a pick applies since cc 1.6.

Tools used by a turtle still do not appear to take damage, regardless as to how they're used.

Question, what happened to the mail program shown on twitter? I noticed it didn't make release.

One thing that annoys me is that the "repeat" program doesn't allow you to Terminate (ctrl+t) out of it, although you do state in the program
-- Main loop (terminate to break)

CTRL-R, unless you put a startup file starting it, in which case, put a no-op startup on a floppy.One thing that annoys me is that the "repeat" program doesn't allow you to Terminate (ctrl+t) out of it, although you do state in the programIronically it uses os.pullEventRaw(), and thus you can't terminate out of it. I'm not sure if this is intentional or not, as it does add some small protection for computers that are dedicated repeaters.-- Main loop (terminate to break)

Well, when you rewrite something pretty much from the ground up, there's bound to be bugs popping up. Be glad that you get to be part of the development process, and we offer prereleases!

I'm having a problem upgrading to 1.62 on my Tekkit SSP game. When I try simply replacing the existing 1.58 CC version my game won't load and play and I get tossed back to my launcher. I've tried researching using Google but I come up empty with results that are related to my problem. This my not be the best place to post this question but I can't post a new thread. Any help would be appreciated, I'm not even sure it is possible to upgrade and existing CC 1.58 to the new version, but if it is, any help would be appreciated,
Also, on a side note, is there another way to prove yourself to be a real person and not a spammer other than having to make 3 approved posts? I find that it has discouraged me from posting since it is difficult to find existing threads where I can add anything worthwhile.

That was your third post, so it doesn't really matter for you any more. :P/>
Remove any peripheral mods you have, or wait for them to update to be compatible with the new CC API.

Also, make sure the new items added in 1.6 aren't conflicting with another mod.

Thanks, :)/> but it looks like I'll need to wait since removal took away too much, especially sensors. That's the type of cross early adopters must often need to bear. :(/>That was your third post, so it doesn't really matter for you any more. :P/>
OK, I was actually speaking more in the general, based on my own experience, but at least I don't personally need to worry about it now. :)/>

CC is a real fun mod, I wish I'd gotten around to playing with it much sooner!
