Hey everyone, Welcome to the Beta Testing thread for the first version of ComputerCraft for Minecraft 1.8!
This port has been a lot of work, so will require quite extensive testing before the final release. Please test every feature you can think of, and file bug reports for every bug that you find. I'm using GitHub for bug reports, see below for more info.

Download

ComputerCraft 1.77 has now been released

Changelog

Ported to Minecraft 1.8.9
Added settings API
Added set and wget programs
Added settings to disable multishell, startup scripts, and tab completion on a per-computer basis
All Computer and Turtle items except Command Computers can now be mounted in Disk Drives

Bug Reports

For this round of ComputerCraft Beta Testing, I'm using GitHub for bug reports. If you find a bug, please visit https://github.com/d...terCraft/issues to report it.

As always, please include screenshots or crash logs with your report if applicable, and please clearly state in the title of the report the version of ComputerCraft you found the bug in. All bugs are valid to report, including ones already present in previous versions of ComputerCraft. If the use of GitHub for bug reports goes well, I may switch all ComputerCraft bug reporting to this system in the future.

Happy testing!

I'm glad to finally have a built-in wget program - now all it needs is a -r option to run the response as code instead of saving it :P/>

Can i propose that setting "bios.use_multishell" to true on basic computer would cause bios to run multishell?
It seems like intuitive change for me.

I tried this, then remembered that multishell requires the mouse to navigate, and there's no mouse support on basic comps :)/>

OH and i just noticed.
The "S:default_computer_settings=" part of computercraft config allows you to set the _CC_DEFAULT_SETTINGS global variable. And said variable sets default settings on all computer. So server owners can per example disable disk drive startup for all computers by default. And then owners of said computers can turn it on using settings api if they want it. I really like this setup.

I made a little change to wget, so you don't have to give the file name, it will automatically resolve it from the URL. See the examples below

Sorry for bumping the idea, but is there any ETA on other HTTP verbs?

wget is pretty useful, thanks for that! The settings API seems fun to experiment with, too!
