This is an update release of WPILib for the 2022 season. This release fixes two critical bugs in the kickoff release:

• random loss of joystick updates (#3922)
• tools (e.g. Shuffleboard) not starting or quitting unexpectedly (#3919)

In addition, one major bug has been fixed (checking for vendor updates) as well as a variety of minor fixes to examples and other functionality/documentation.

This release does not fix the Analog Devices SPI gyros issue; that fix requires a new RoboRIO image and will be in a future release.

Upgrading from the kickoff 2022 release is easy: simply download and run the new installer and it will update your current installation. If you already have the 2022 WPILib vscode installed, it will detect it and you can simply click "next" for that installation step. After installation, vscode will prompt you when opening your robot project whether you want to upgrade it to this version.

The documentation for WPILib is located at https://docs.wpilib.org/ (if you have trouble accessing this location, https://frcdocs.wpi.edu/en/stable/ is an alternate location with the same content).

If you're new to FRC, start with Getting Started.

If you're returning from a previous season, check out what's new for 2022; be sure to read through this, as a lot has changed from 2021! You will need a new RoboRIO image for 2022; this is available via the FRC Game Tools. Follow the WPILib installation guide to install WPILib.

If you're starting from a 2020 or 2021 robot project, you will need to import your project to create a 2022 project. The import process is particularly important for 2022, as it will make a number of automated corrections for the various breaking package moves/renames that happened in 2022.

A complete list of known issues with this release can be found here. In particular, Analog Devices SPI Gyros (including the ADXRS450) do not work in this release due to an issue with the v3 RoboRIO image, and there is a warning against using the "onboard" I2C port (the MXP I2C port does not have an issue).

WPILib is developed by a small team of volunteers and the FIRST community.
