YARP 2.3.70.2 Release Notes

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

Important Changes

Libraries

<tt>YARP_OS</tt>

• Unification of code in DGramTwoWayStream for the allocation of write and read buffers (#899).
• Added extra checks in the port names in Network:metaConnect(), with dedicated error messages.

<tt>YARP_math</tt>

• The RandScalar methods are now using C++11 mersenne_twister_engine instead of a custom engine.

Carriers

• portmonitor, rossrv, tcpros, and xmlrpc carriers can now be enabled when SKIP_ACE is ON.

Build System

• Added YARP_DISABLE_OSX_BUNDLES option to disable macOS bundles.
• Added YARP_DISABLE_FAILING_TESTS option to disable tests known for randomly failing due to race conditions.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed several warnings reported by Clang static analyzer.
• Fixed several defects reported by Coverity.

Libraries

<tt>YARP_OS</tt>

• Fixed truncation of double in Property::fromString().
• Fixed append to wrong string in BufferedConnectionWriter.h.
• Fixed yarp::os::ConstString::getline for MSVC (#1357).
• Reverted flush() added in YARP v2.3.71.1 at the end of AbstractCarrier::writeYarpInt().

<tt>YARP_dev</tt>

• Fixed RPC calls when connecting to right image port (split mode on)

Tools
