The Orocos Real-Time Toolkit v1.6.0.
====================================
The Orocos development team is pleased to announce the next major
feature release of the Real-Time Toolkit, a C++ toolkit for building
component based, real-time robotics and machine control applications.
You can download this release from
<http://www.orocos.org/stable/rtt/v1.6.0/orocos-rtt-1.6.0-src.tar.bz2>
and read the installation instructions on
<http://www.orocos.org/stable/documentation/rtt/v1.6.x/doc-xml/orocos-installation.html>
The Real-Time Toolkit (RTT) library allows application designers to
build highly configurable and interactive component-based real-time
control applications. This release's major feature highlights are:
* Much improved error reporting and usability in various places
* Improved the scripting language and state machine definitions
* More transparent network communication
* Many small improvements suggested by the user community.

The Orocos Real-Time Toolkit v1.4.0.
====================================
The Orocos development team is pleased to announce the third major
feature release of the Real-Time Toolkit, a C++ toolkit for building
component based, real-time robotics and machine control applications.
You can download this release from
<http://www.orocos.org/stable/rtt/v1.4.0/orocos-rtt-1.4.0-src.tar.bz2>
and read the installation instructions on
<http://www.orocos.org/stable/documentation/rtt/v1.4.x/doc-xml/orocos-installation.html>
The Real-Time Toolkit (RTT) library allows application designers to
build highly configurable and interactive component-based real-time
control applications. You might use it to:
* Control devices ranging from sensors to complete robots
* Capture and plot the data flows between components
* Tune your algorithms at run-time
* Write your controller as a hierarchical state machine
* Interact with your devices directly from a GUI or command prompt
* Extend it with your own data types
* Configure components and the application from XML files
* Extend your legacy control applications with all the above
* Run it on standard operating systems as well as dedicated real-time
systems
This release has improved how components can communicate over a
network, allowing to choose a communication protocol at runtime
instead of compile time. Also component compile times and memory footprints
have drastically improved.
This release's major feature highlights are:
* Components have been extended with an Error and Active state
* Optional, 'hot' pluggable CORBA library for network communication
* Timer class (and TimerComponent in OCL) for generating time based events
* More efficient periodic task execution
* Debian packages for Debian Etch at

The Orocos Real-Time Toolkit v1.0.0.
http://www.orocos.org
====================================
The Orocos development team is proud to announce the first stable
release of the Real-Time Toolkit (RTT), a C++ toolkit for building
component based, real-time robotics and machine control applications.
A new community website has been created in order to provide Orocos
users a forum for collaboration and easier access to information.
The website features also the releases of:
* the 'Kinematics and Dynamics Library' (KDL) for calculating
kinematic chains in real-time applications;
* the 'Orocos Components Library' (OCL) which offers components
for hardware access (such as vision or force sensors), motion
control and component management;
* the 'Bayesian Filtering Library' (BFL) which provides an
application independent framework for inference in Dynamic
Bayesian Networks.
The Real-Time Toolkit 1.0 allows rapid software component development
and prototyping for control applications. Each component comes with
built-in XML configuration, a real-time scripting interface, data
ports for thread-safe data exchange and a user definable command
interface.
The powerful Orocos 'TaskBrowser' component helps developers
to run and debug their components, stand-alone or in a network and
helps eliminating recompilation steps during development.
