This version comes with a 1.8.9, 1.9.4 and 1.10 port in addition to many additions.
Note: On 1.8.9 and later, the tape drives use an updated audio codec (DFPWM 1a). Any files encoded with the old codec will still play, but the sound will be a lot more quiet.
ADDED: Noise Card!
An upgraded Beep Card with slightly different syntax
Can play square waves, sine waves, triangle waves and sawtooth waves!
ADDED: Sound Card! Lots of thanks to gamax92 for having done a big part of this! Also thanks to Temia for helping us design this!
Plays generated sounds of various types akin to a noise card
Supports frequency modulation, amplitude modulation, general volume changes, wave type changes, certain types of noise generation, frequency changes and ADSR on 8 channels, allowing for highly customizable sound synthesis!
Works on an instruction-based system; instructions are added to a queue and processed when wanted.
ADDED: Support for TIS-3D!
Added a Colorful Module to display any colour you want, akin to a Colorful Lamp.
Added a Tape Reader Module which allows you to interface with an adjacent Tape Drive.
Added a Self-Destructing Module which allows you to dispose of your casings with style.
Added a Serial Interface for Flamingos to make them wiggle.
Documented everything in the TIS-3D manual.
Each module can be individually disabled in the config file.
ADDED: OpenComputers 1.6 integration (requires OpenComputers 1.6.0 now)
Added a Light Board to put into Server Racks. Allows controlling coloured lights in various layouts.
Added a Server Self-Destructor in case you don't need your servers anymore.
Added a Rack Capacitor which is a Capacitor you can put into a Rack. Ingenious. It also provides a component that gives you the amount of energy stored in that capacitor.
Added a Switch Board providing four switches to manually and automatically activate and deactivate. Fires an event whenever a switch is flipped, too.
ADDED: getPosition() to tape drives. No, I'm not joking. It's real. I'm sorry.
ADDED: Built-in tape utility program for ComputerCraft to write songs to tapes and to play, stop, pause etc.
ADDED: Option to specify a custom timeout when writing files from a
URL to a tape using the tape program on OpenComputers.
ADDED: Coloured tapes can now be crafted with a bucket of water to wash off the colour.
ADDED: `tape wipe` to built-in tape program. Can be used to completely erase a tape.
ADDED: EnderIO 2.3 integration for OpenComputers and ComputerCraft! (It has actually existed since March 2015, just not in any official release)
Added support for the new Telepad
Allows full control over the coordinates set (if allowed in the EnderIO config file) as well as telepad activation
Added support for the new Weather Obelisk
Allows control over the weather, provided the Obelisk has the correct items.
The Capacitor Bank now provides two additional functions, `getAverageInputPerTick()` and `getAverageOutputPerTick()`
This allows you to monitor input and output of your energy network separately
Now you can get and set the range of Vacuum Chests
Added `getProgress()` to most machines with progress
CHANGED: Sangar made beep card and noise card textures a lot less boring. He also made the sound card texture to match them. Thanks a lot!
CHANGED: Some tweaks to beep card and noise card recipes.
CHANGED: Built-in tape and explode program have been moved to floppy disks for OpenComputers to conform to OpenComputers 1.6 standard.
FIXED: Iron Note Blocks now properly error when used with instrument names.

FIXED: Advanced Cipher Block not properly converting certain keys
MISC: Some visual improvements to the `tape` program.
[1.7.10] ADDED: Digital Signal Controller Box for Railcraft!
Can be paired to up to 32 receivers (sounds overpowered, definitely is overpowered, but CovertJaguar told me to do it. It's probaby better this way…)
Allows individually sending aspects to each paired receiver
Receivers must be referenced by their name, meaning you have to name all your signals using Signal Labels
[1.7.10] CHANGED: Digital Signal Receiver Box
Can now be paired to up to 32 receivers, just like the controller box
Allows individually querying the aspect of each paired controller
Sends an `aspect_changed` event containing the controller's name and new aspect.
Controllers must be referenced by their name, meaning you have to name all your signals using Signal Labels

ADDED: Binary mode to the Colorful Lamp for MineFactory Reloaded. Shift-right click the lamp using a wrench or sledgehammer to make the lamp read every RedNet color frequency, each colour (apart from black) setting a specific bit of the lamp's colour (just like it works for Project: Red and RedLogic Bundled Cable). Shift-right clicking again will reset the mode.
CHANGED: Made the Deep Storage Unit driver for ComputerCraft work with Quantum Storage.
FIXED: Updated Forestry integration to version 4.0.8; requires Forestry 4.0.8 now.

ADDED: Made most Computronics blocks dyable!
You can now right click most Computronics blocks with any kind of dye to change their colour!
Note: In case you change the colour of a block that existed in the world before you updated, it might not properly save the colour (this should only happen very rarely so you probably will not be affected at all). In this case just break and re-place the block!
ADDED: Flamingo integration!
Now you can make Flamingos wiggle using ComputerCraft or OpenComputers.
ADDED: Armourer's Workshop integration!
Now you can change rotation of body parts of mannequins using ComputerCraft or OpenComputers.
CHANGED: The encoding for the Advanced Cipher Block's keys have changed. You will need to re-generate keys you might be using. Sorry for the inconvenience, but the new encoding is a lot more compact and server-friendly.

CHANGED: Made Camera, Chat Box and Tape Drive functions more consistent in behaviour (The ComputerCraft and OpenComputers functions should do the exact same now)
CHANGED: Got rid of the ComputerCraft bundled redstone support for RedLogic as it was not working anyway. Full ComputerCraft support in RedLogic has been proposed to immibis.
CHANGED: Radars now only output relative distance by default.
This can of course be changed in the config.
CHANGED: The Locomotive Relay now consumes a little Charge in the Electric Locomotive as well as a little OpenComputers energy if used by OpenComputers

Now you can clear a locomotive relay's bond by shift-rightclicking with an empty hand
FIXED: Reworked the Digital Detector to only send an event once for each passing minecart instead of sending one once per tick and minecart
The event will also now ship additional information if the minecart is a locomotive (primary colour, secondary colour and destination)
Thanks to marcin212 and Kubuxu for this!
FIXED: Computronics machine sounds now use the “Blocks” volume setting instead of the “Friendly Creatures” one
MISC: Refactored a lot of code, mainly related to GUIs and Railcraft integration.
MISC: Increased the bitrate on most Computronics textures, they should look much better now.
1.4.6 (8 April 2015 [1.7.10])
This one is semi-officially known as “The Cyther Update”.
1.4.5 (6 April 2015 [1.7.10])
This is semi-officially known as “The Kodos Update”.
1.4.4 (5 April 2015 [1.7.10])
ADDED: Draconic Evolution integration!
You can now properly get the (max) energy stored from Energy Pylons, the values can be so huge it needed a special handler
You will need at least version v1.0.1-RC-1 of the mod for this to work
ADDED: Mekanism 8 integration!
You can now properly get the (max) energy stored from Mekanism machines like the Induction Matrix, the values can be so huge it needed a special handler
ADDED: getItems() function to Radar Block, Turtle and Robot Upgrade
Gives you information about all the items floating in the world around the Radar.
CHANGED: Digital Signal Reciver Box functions are now direct (thus they can be accessed much faster now)
CHANGED: Added getEnergyStored() / getMaxEnergyStored functions to blocks that only receive or provide RF and do not do both

FIXED: Updated BuildCraft integration (requires BuildCraft 6.4.1 now)
This will make the Drone Docking station not crash anymore
FIXED: Server-side crash with Self-Destructing Card
FIXED: Some tooltips not being displayed properly
1.4.2 (22 February 2015 [1.7.10])
ADDED: Self-Destructing card
Does exactly what you think it does
Also comes with a built-in program for convenient self-destruction
ADDED: Optional argument to the Iron Note Block's / Musical Turtle's `playNote()` to specify the volume
Its definition is now `function([instrument:number or string,] note:number [, volume:number])`
`volume` may be a number between 0 and 1 (1 being default and the volume it was before)
ADDED: The Drone Docking Station now is able to charge docked drones when plugged onto a Kinesis Pipe!
FIXED: Particle Effects Card emitting particles when it doesn't have enough energy for that
FIXED: Crash happening when Tape length configuration entry has been misconfigured. Now it will print errors to the log instead
FIXED: A lot of Lua functions returning nil in ComputerCraft when they should return tables

CHANGED: Some changes to the config file
It is recommended to regenerate the config file
CHANGED: Got rid of the EnderIO Capacitor Bank's getEnergyStoredForNetwork and getMaxEnergyStoredForNetwork functions
Their behaviour was the same is getEnergyStored/getMaxEnergyStored, so use those functions instead
1.4.0 (3 February 2015 [1.7.10])
ADDED: Tape Drives now output a comparator signal if they are currently playing
ADDED: Drone docking station + Docking upgrade for OpenComputers Drones
The Docking Station you put onto any BuildCraft pipe
Drones with the Docking Upgrade can dock with Docking Stations
If the Station is on an Item Transport pipe, the drone will be able to inject items into the pipe
Drones should have been able to be charged while docked with a station, if the station is on a Kinesis Pipe, but that feature could not be added due to a bug in the BuildCraft power system
Requires Buildcraft 6.3
ADDED: Integration for the EnderIO Power Monitor
You can get literally everything shown in its
GUI
You can also configure Engine Control using ComputerCraft/OpenComputers
Requires EnderIO 2.2.6.321 or later
-
Other mods may hook into this to listen to chat messages and react accordingly
CHANGED: Changes to MultiPeripheral system:
MultiPeripheral system can now recognize every ComputerCraft peripheral!
This can be disabled in the config
MultiPeripheral system is now almost always being recognized by ComputerCraft
This means that the basic behaviour of ComputerCraft's peripheral handling changed:
Previously ComputerCraft, when trying to access a peripheral and multiple mods are adding peripherals to the same block, would choose the peripheral that has been registered first
Now all Peripherals on the same block are merged into a single one using the MultiPeripheral system, meaning that there won't be peripheral conflicts anymore
This can be reverted to default behaviour in the config
Added a config option to disable OpenPeripheral integration
FIXED: Updated EnderIO and Applied Energistics 2 integration to work properly again.
FIXED: Rightclicking EEPROMs onto the EEPROM reader not working
FIXED: Extremely rare ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException when playing and writing to a tape at the same time
FIXED: Tape Drive's isEnd() returning the opposite of what it should return
FIXED: Chat Box Upgrade not working in Tablets and Drones
FIXED: Some issues with the built-in tape program

ADDED: New OpenComputers Cards:
Spoofing Card: Works the same as a Network Card, but allows you to specify the source address
Beep Card: Provides beep(); same as computer.beep(), just takes a table with frequency-duration pairs, allows playing up to 8 different sounds at once. See
this example implementation
ADDED: OpenPeripheral integration:
Now OpenPeripheral peripherals aren't ignored anymore if Computronics is present
ADDED: More BuildCraft integration
Now you can get various things about the heat of any block which might overheat
ADDED: Forestry Bees:
Now there is a new Bee producing Grog for OpenComputers. Have fun acquiring it!
FIXED: Lamps ignoring bundled redstone if placed adjacent to each other
FIXED: Tape Drive
GUI. Now it actually, really works
FIXED: Chat box messages not being consistently gray
MISC: Built-in tape program for OC now handles errors properly
MISC: Added a few more things to the config file
MISC: Updated Waila integration to 1.5.6
MISC: Updated EnderIO integration to 2.2.4
New Capacitor Banks can be properly accessed by CC and OC now!
for CC, getEnergyStored()/getMaxEnergyStored() has been fixed
for OC, you will need to update to the 1.4.3.283-dev build or a later version for it to be fixed
Also fixed getPowerPerTick() for powerable EnderIO devices
1.3.2 (21 November 2014 [1.7.10])
FIXED: Tapes not retaining their data
FIXED: Tape Drive File System not being persistent in OpenComputers
