YARP 2.3.65 Release Notes

A (partial) list of bug fixed and issues resolved in this release can be found here.

Important Changes

• YARP is now automatically installed with the RPATH enabled. This can be disabled by setting the CMAKE_SKIP_RPATH or CMAKE_SKIP_INSTALL_RPATH variables.
• The portmonitor can now be built without LUA and uses YARP plugins system of having to locate the shared libraries manually.
• The yarp::dev::IDepthSensor, yarp::dev::IRGBDSensor interfaces and the RGBDSensorClient and RGBDSensorWrapper devices were erroneously introduced as a "stable", but they are still under development and therefore are not to be used, and will be removed in the next tweak release (v2.3.65.1). They will be probably re-introduced in the next stable release series (v2.3.68).

Bug Fixes

YARP_OS

• Fixed memory leaks when building with c++11.
• Fixed yarp::os::Thread::getKey() method for c++11.
• Fixed race condition in yarp::os::Thread::getKey().

New Features

YARP_OS

• ResourceFinder::configure(argc,argv,bool) accepts a third optional parameter to keep/skip the first command line argument

yarprobotinterface

The robotInterface tool in robotology/icub-main was imported in YARP with a few non compatible changes:

• robotInterface was renamed yarprobotinterface to follow the convention with yarp executables
• The RPC port opened is now /<robotname>/yarprobotinterface
• The default .ini file name is now yarprobotinterface.ini
• The DTD line for XML files is now

  <!DOCTYPE [...] PUBLIC "-//YARP//DTD yarprobotinterface 1.0//EN" "http://www.yarp.it/DTD/yarprobotinterfaceV1.0.dtd">
