Release 2.05

(30 sep 2008) Two bugs are fixed in this release: loaded modules do now call the destructor upon unload or server shutdown, and the call to getStaticResource(const char * name,bool mayCreate,bool staticOnly=true) is now working in UFunc* based objects also (and not just in resources).

Release 2.04.2

The release fixes some bugs in the mission scheduler: the occational crash on load of module should now be fixed. A code line with a '<' now gives a warning only. An XML remark -- like '<!-- nnnnn -->' is now fixed, so that the nnnn may include other XML tags, but nested remark tags are not allowed. A few mismatched malloc() free() issues are fixed too, thanks to valgrind (a few issues are still outstanding, relating to readline and openCV).

Release 2.04.1

Mission scheduler is now included and complete to a field-test level. There is likely more than one bug, and one is that server crashes sometimes, when a mission is loaded, and always during server shutdown. report bugs, and I will try to fix as soon as possible.

Release 2.02

Improvements to svs module includes replay, sensor pose handling, projection to 3d point cloud (available for other modules). The svs camera shutter control is corrected for a few bugs, and can now generate a intensity histogram in pool-image 35 and estimate the horizon line. A new plugin 'obj3d' is introduced to use the 3D cloud information - for now it can display horizontal slizes in pool image 26-40 in different projections - some filtering is prepared, but not finished. The mission sequencer is not improved (much) from version 2.01.

Release 2.01

This version improves the SVS stereo camera plugin with horizon estimate as modelled by Fran (KU-LIFE). It includes a new plugin AUCRON that implements a way to execute bash commands regularly, e.g. every second. The commands are implemented in separate threads and may be started with a 'nice' pre-command, so that the commands do not take time from the main server thread. The version has changed a few functions in the server core, and is thus (probably) not compatible with plug-ins compiled against earlier versions.

Release 2.00

This release includes a functional SVS module that is capable of logging sets of stereo images, do illumination control - as suggested by fran, except that the mean value of the intensity histogram is used in place of the highest amplitude. The new mission scheduler plug-in AUMISSION is almost finished in this version, including IF statement ELSE statement structures, but misses a a functional BREAK <level> function.

Release 1.XX

The release notes got lost as the old wiki page were hacked - sorry.
