YARP 3.5.1 Release Notes

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

New Features

Libraries

math

• added method yarp::math::Quaternion::isValid()
• added method yarp::math::FrameTransform::isValid()

Build System

• Fixed infinite loop when using yarp_add_idl and yarp_idl_to_dir without
  searching the idl_tools component.
• Fixed build on Ubuntu Bionic when both PCL and OpenNI are enabled

Libraries

os

Log

• Fixed custom log components not forwarding the log properly when running under
  yarprun.

ResourceFinder

• Fixed folder creation in getHomeContextPath and getHomeRobotPath.

idl::WireReader

• Fixed reading empty string as latest argument.

dev

• Fixed parsing of parameters hw_gain and sw_gain in the two classes
  AudioPlayerDeviceBase and AudioRecorderDeviceBase

• Fixed issue with case insensitive file systems.

• Added methods startStorageThread() and stopStorageThread() to interface
  yarp::dev::IFrameTransformStorageUtils

robotinterface

• Fixed extern-name for non-string parameters.

run

• Fixed handling of multiple environment variables with yarprun on win32

Devices

audioFromFileDevice

• Fixed module when channels are > 1

controlBoard_nws_yarp

• Fixed segmentation fault if the device to which the nws attempts to attach was
  not successfully opened.

controlBoard_nws_ros

• /joint_states is no longer appended to the topic name.

controlboardremapper

• Fixed segmentation fault.

ffmpeg_grabber

• Fixed symbol lookup runtime error.

ffmpeg_writer

• Fixed symbol lookup runtime error.

frameGrabber_nws_ros

• The frame_id parameter is no longer required to start with /.

frameTransformClient

• Fixed concurrent access to the internal container.
• Timestamp is now set also for static_transforms
• Updated xml files according to the changes to the subdevices.

frameTransformServer

• Updated xml files according to the changes to the subdevices.

frameTransformGet_nwc_yarp

• Fixed missing callback initialization. Without it, no data was collected from
  the streaming port.

frameTransformSetMultiplexer

• fixed race condition issue in deleteTransform() method.

frameTransformStorage

• Fixed race condition issue: added extra mutex to protect the periodicThread
  from set/get/delete operations
• the periodic thread can be now stopped/started on request by
  methods IFrameTransformStorageUtils::stopStorageThread and
  IFrameTransformStorageUtils::startStorageThread.
• Fixed start method not called after successfully attaching to a
  yarp::dev::IFrameTransformStorageGet interface.
  The device is now able to update its FrameTransformContainer storage by
  querying the device it was attached to.
• Fixed attach function that did not performed the view on the
  iFrameTransformStorageGet interface and did not return true when
  successful.

frameTransformContainer

• Added new iterator class. It iterates only on valid transforms.
• when a transform is deleted, it is marked as invalid. The transform is then
  removed during the next iteration of the checkAndRemoveExpired().
• Fixed bug in frameTransformContainer which was not correctly deleting old
  transforms.

frameTransformSet_nwc_yarp

• The device was refactored in order to easily manage ports names.

frameTransformSet_nws_yarp

• The device was refactored in order to easily manage ports names.

frameTransformGet_nwc_yarp

• The device was refactored in order to easily manage ports names.

frameTransformGet_nws_yarp

• The device was refactored in order to easily manage ports names.

frameTransformSet_nwc_ros

• Fixed bug in frameTransformSet_nwc_ros::publishFrameTransforms.

frameTransformSet_nws_ros

• Fixed time stamps of the static transforms wrongly set to
  yarp::os::Time::now().

frameTransformGet_nwc_ros

• Fixed setStrict not called for the subscribers ports for the /tf and
  /tf_static topics, that was causing a loss of frameTransforms.

map2D_nws_yarp

• Fixed typos in Map2D_nws_yarp::parse_vocab_command.

opencv_grabber

• Efficiency has been improved as copies are (in most cases) no longer
  performed in order to convert from OpenCV frames to YARP image structures.
• Options --flip_x, --flip_y and --transpose are now also available
  when reading from file (--movie).

rgbdSensor_nws_ros

• Fixed bug in rgbdSensor_nws::open. The period was still in milliseconds.

transformClient

• Fixed method delete in transformClient, now avoiding race conditions during
  server/client update via streaming port.

Port Monitors

image_compression_ffmpeg

• Fixed symbol lookup runtime error.

GUIs

yarplogger

• Fixed bug.

yarpmanager

• Port names containing trailing or leading white spaces not targeted as
  non-existing but throwing an error when trying to connect.

Bindings

Python

• Enable compilation of libYARP_math in the Python wheels
