YARP 2.3.68.1 Release Notes

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

Important Changes

Build System

• YARP_gsl was removed from the YARP_LIBRARIES CMake variable where it was erroneously added. If you are using that library you might need to add YARP::YARP_gsl to the list of libraries linked by your target.
• The CREATE_SHARED_LIBRARY option is deprecated in favour of the standard BUILD_SHARED_LIBS.
• Plugins are now added to FeatureSummary if available.
• Fixed symbol visibility logic. Not exported symbols are now always hidden. The YARP_EXPERIMENTAL_FILTER_API option can be used to hide also symbols from the impl libraries (it will not build at the moment).

Devices

depthCamera

• Spelling of the length-related parameters was fixed. You might have to fix your configuration files.

New Features

Build System

• Builds from git repositories will now contain the git commit and dirty state in the version number (For example 2.3.68+98-20161222.4+git3942468+dirty (2.3.68+98)). YARP_VERSION_MAJOR, YARP_VERSION_MINOR, YARP_VERSION_PATCH and YARP_VERSION_TWEAK meanings hasn't changed. YARP_VERSION_STRING was removed since it was never used.

Devices

• Added new laserFromDepth device.

Bug Fixes

Build System

• Fixed YARP_CLEAN_API build with GCC 6.1 or later (that uses c++14 by default) by forcing -std=c++98 (#978).
• Fixed YARP_EXPERIMENTAL_CXX11 on MSVC 12 2013.
• The YARP_ABORT_ON_WARNING and YARP_FATAL_ERRORS options were restored.
• Added workaround for FindCUDA bug when crosscompiling. See https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/issues/16509.

CMake Modules

• Fixed issues in yarp_add_idl command when generating files using paths containing ..
• Fixed issues in yarp_idl_to_dir command when generating files on paths containing white spaces.

Libraries

YARP_OS

• Fixed typo preventing successful compilation on linux/mac with C++11 enabled.
• yarp::os::idl::BareStyle<T> and yarp::os::idl::BareStyle<T> are no longer erroneously marked as YARP_OS_API.
• Fixed memory leak in yarp::os::Contact when SKIP_ACE is enabled.
• Fixed Windows 2000 detection in SystemInfo.
• Fixed security issue related to the buffer size in yInfo(), yDebug(), etc. functions.
• Maximum string size in yInfo(), yDebug(), etc. functions was increased to 1024 characters.
• Fixed commands yarp name get /port accepts and yarp name get /port offers.
• Fixed deadlock during a device closure after calling a prepare of a closed port.
• Fixed reply to yarp::os::Node::Helper::getBusInfo if no connections available, now it returns an empty list.

YARP_sig

• Ensure that after yarp::sig::VectorOf::resize(), the constructor operator for the new objects is called.
• Added missing YARP_sig_API to yarp::sig::file::soundStreamReader.

YARP_dev

• Added warning when loading a plugin with a wrong library parameter (#975).
• Fixed the communication of mirroring and intrinsic parameter through sender and parser in IVisualParamsImpl.
• Fixed ControlBoardRemapper not returning an error on malformed axesNames.
• IControlLimits2Raw now inherits publicly from IControlLimitsRaw.
• Fixed missing include of yarp/dev/api.h in IEncoders.h (#1127)
• Fixed missing include of yarp/os/Vocab.h in IControlMode.h (#1199)
• Fixed FrameTransformClient::waitForTransform() (#1183)
• Fixed memory leak in ControlBoardWrapper.
• Fixed memory leak in Rangefinder2DClient.
• Fixed wrong ROS message in ControlBoardWrapper if ROS = only.

YARP_math

• Fix resizing of output matrices in SVD (#1062, #1066).

Private libraries

YARP_manager

• Fixed typo in setEnvironemnt, now setEnvironment

Tools

<tt>yarprobotinterface</tt>

• Devices are now closed in the reverse order as they are created.

<tt>yarpidl_rosmsg</tt>

• Fixed an out-of-bounds error if an array contained in a ros message has size == 0
• Fixed segfault when publishing a ros message including a null vector

<tt>yarpdataplayer</tt>

• Fixed memory leak.

GUIs

yarpview

• Fixed RPATH.

yarpscope

• Fixed RPATH.

yarpmanager

• Removed extra ';' from environment variables and port prefix (#980, #982).
• Fixed saveAs action(#755).
• Added warning in case of creation of a new file(application) that already exists.
• Fixed double tab open of the same application.
• Added key shortcuts for the actions.
• Removed automatically applications, modules and resources that no longer exist on disk when double click on them or click edit.
• Fixed the addition to the tree of multiple applications pointing to the same xml file.
• Fixed refresh button, before ignored every text entry changed int the application tab.
• Added automatic refresh on the application tab open.
• Added automatic application tab open when you load an application from disk.
• Disabled the select all after pressing run all, stop all, refresh all and kill all actions.
• Added run/stop/kill/connect/disconnect all and run/stop/kill/connect/disconnect selected

yarplaserscannergui

• Fixed close button not closing the gui (#720).
• Fixed laser orientation to have x axis pointing towards N and y axis towards W (as in ROS)

yarpbatterygui

• Fixed memory leak in closing.

Carriers

• Fixed issue in tcpros carrier causing a severe slowdown of yarp::os::Publisher when multiple ros clients are connected to the same topic.

Devices

• Fixed rangeFinder2DClient and getLaserMeasurement() function of various hardware devices: laser_angle_of_view was not computed correctly.
• Fixed bugs in AnalogWrapper: start() return value is checked (important for avoiding address conflict), all the ports needed are opened only once and not multiple times, fixed memory leaks.

fakeMotionControl

• Fixed error in open function.
• Better param check.

depthCamera

• Added missing distortion model params.
• Implemented camInfo messages for ros interoperation.
• Fixed parsing file error.
• Cleanup and improved documentation.
• Fixed segmentation fault on device shutdown.
• Fixed segmentation fault when passing an incorrect configuration.
• Fixed resolution from config.

fakeLaser

• Improved fakeLaser test to display x and y axis.

rangeFinder2DWrapper

• Added internal subdevice spawn and attach.
• Fixed parameter name in error message.

rpLidar

• Allow to set negative max_angle & min_angle, allowing a virtual rotation of the sensor zero (#1019).

Bindings

• RPATH is now correctly set for python bindings.
