Important Changes

YARP_dev

• The analogServer device (implemented in yarp::dev::AnalogWrapper has removed the support for the deviceId parameter, that has been deprecated since 2014. Invalid configuration files of the form:

  robotName icub
  deviceId left_arm

  can be updated with the valid:

  name /icub/left_arm/analog:o

• The controlboardwrapper2 device (implemented in yarp::dev::ControlBoardWrapper has removed the supported for the threadrate parameter, that has been deprecated since 2014. Invalid configuration files of the form threadrate 10 can be update with the valid form period 10.

• Fixed PlatformThread for macOS, no ACE, no c++11.
• Fixed memory leak in SharedLibrary.
• Fixed memory leak in Property::fromArgs.
• Use reentrant version of get_host_addr in NameConfig and SocketTwoWayStream (fixes a few possible race conditions).
• Fixed memory leak in NameConfig::getHostName with SKIP_ACE enabled.
• Fixed "Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value" issues reported by valgrind --memcheck in SocketTwoWayStream with SKIP_ACE enabled.
• Added implementation of SystemInfo for macOS.
• Fixed bug in yarprun currently occurring only on macOS, but potentially on other platforms (#633)
