Robotics Service Bus: We are starting to phase out support for RSB 0.13

Added by J. Moringen over 7 years ago

RSB 0.15 has been released. As a consequence, we are now starting to phase out support for RSB 0.13. Changes between releases can be found in the RSB manual.

As a first step, we have disabled the Jenkins jobs associated to the 0.13 release. For now, artifacts remain available for download, but no new builds will be performed. In case of no objections, we will remove these jobs entirely at some point.

Note that, with some exceptions, unsupported legacy releases remain buildable using the cognitive interaction toolkit infrastructure.

Robotics Service Bus: RSB 0.15 has been released

Added by J. Moringen over 7 years ago

The development activities in this cycle lead to the following improvements:

  • All: A cause filter has been added
  • All: Configuration debugging (enabled via RSB_CONFIG_DEBUG)
  • All: The environment variable RSB_CONFIG_FILES controls the cascade of configuration files
  • C++: A generic rsb::converter::IntegerConverter has been added
  • C++: A few C++11 incompatibilities have been resolved
  • All: A converter for scope values has been added
  • Tools: the scope monitor now collapses chains of scopes with exactly one subscope
  • Tools: the web tool now provides a web interface for basic introspection
  • RSBag: bag info now accepts a bag info --style option

The following related projects have been released with RSB:

  • RSBag
  • RSB GStreamer Integration
  • RSB XML Support
  • RSB Temporal Buffer
  • Robotics Systems Types (RST)

In the process, about 30 issues have been created and subsequently resolved.

This RSB release is available in the following forms:

  • Source archives
  • Pre-compiled self-installing archives
  • Debian packages for different Ubuntu Linux versions
  • Pypi packages
  • Maven package for rsb[-xml]-java and rst (on CITEC server)

The former two can be downloaded from the continuous integration server:

Debian packages can be downloaded from the repository server [1].

Installation instructions and links for downloading can be found on the "installation" pages of the RSB manual [2], the RSBag manual [3], and the RST manual [4].

As always, bugs, feature requests and enhancement proposals can be reported in the issue tracker [5].

For more detailed release notes see:

We will continue to try and create new releases every two to three months.
