YARP 3.3.0

YARP 3.3.0 Release Notes

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

Important Changes

Dependencies

• CMake 3.12 or later is now required.
• Optional dependency on YCM now requires version 0.11.0 or later.
• C++14 is now required.
• OpenCV 4 is now explicitly unsupported.
• Visual Studio 2015 is no longer supported.

Build System

• CMake config files are now installed in lib/cmake also on windows.
• The OS component is deprecated in favour of os (lowercase).

Libraries

YARP_os

• The YARP_OS was renamed YARP_os. Using the old name is still supported,
  but deprecated.
• yAssert is now a proper assertion macro (removed when NDEBUG is defined,
  i.e. `Release builds). If the expression tested has side-effects, program
  behavior will be different depending on whether NDEBUG is defined. This may
  create Heisenbugs which go away when debugging is turned on.
• All yarp::os::Mutex related classes and methods are now deprecated in favour
  of std::mutex:
  • Classes:
    • yarp::os::Mutex
    • yarp::os::RecursiveMutex
    • yarp::os::AbstractLockGuard
    • yarp::os::LockGuard
    • yarp::os::RecursiveLockGuard
  • Methods:
    • yarp::os::Contactable::setCallbackLock(yarp::os::Mutex*)
    • yarp::os::AbstractContactable::setCallbackLock(yarp::os::Mutex*)
    • yarp::os::Port::setCallbackLock(yarp::os::Mutex*)
    • yarp::os::Buffered::setCallbackLock(yarp::os::Mutex*)
    • yarp::os::Timer::Timer(..., yarp::os::Mutex*)
• yarp::os::Network::getDirectorySeparator and
  yarp::os::Network::getPathSeparator are now deprecated in favour of
  yarp::conf::filesystem::preferred_separator and
  yarp::conf::filesystem::path_separatorrespectively.
• yarp::os::Runnable is now deprecated.
• yarp::os::RateThreadWrapper is now deprecated.
• The yarp::os::Property constructor using 'hash_size' was deprecated (it was
  already unused since the internal structure was ported to use std::map).
• yarp::os::MessageStack constructor now accepts the max number of thread as
  size_t instead of int.
• yarp::os::MessageStack constructor is now explicit.
• yarp::os::MessageStack copy and move constructors and operators are now
  explicitly deleted.

YARP_dev

• All devices are now plugins. They are enabled by default, but can be disabled
  if required.
• The <yarp/dev/GenericSensorInterfaces.h> include file is deprecated in
  favour of <yarp/dev/IGenericSensor.h>.
• The <yarp/dev/PreciselyTimed.h> include file is deprecated in favour of
  <yarp/dev/IPreciselyTimed.h>.
• The <yarp/dev/SerialInterfaces.h> include file is deprecated in favour of
  <yarp/dev/ISerialDevice.h>.
• The <yarp/dev/Wrapper.h> include file is deprecated in favour of
  <yarp/dev/IWrapper.h> and <yarp/dev/IMultipleWrapper.h>.
• yarp::dev::DataSource and yarp::dev::DataSource2 are now deprecated.
• yarp::dev::DataWriter and yarp::dev::DataWriter2 are now deprecated

New Features

Build System

• The yarp_idl_to_dir command now accepts the PLACEMENT option:
  • MERGED: headers and sources in <OUTPUT_DIR>/<namespace>
  • SEPARATE: headers in <OUTPUT_DIR>/include/<namespace> sources in <OUTPUT_DIR>/src/<namespace>
  • SEPARATE_EVEN: alias for SEPARATE
  • SEPARATE_ODD: headers in <OUTPUT_DIR>/include/<namespace> sources in <OUTPUT_DIR>/src
    For backwards compatibility the default value is SEPARATE_ODD.
• After calling the yarp_add_idl method, the YARP_ADD_IDL_INCLUDE_DIR
  variable contains the include directory for using the header files

Libraries

YARP_conf

• Added yarp::conf::filesystem utilities (#1855).

YARP_os

• Cleanup of the signature of the following methods of yarp::os::Network:
  • static bool connect(const std::string& src, const std::string& dest, const ContactStyle& style)
  • static bool connect(const std::string& src, const std::string& dest, const std::string& carrier = "", bool quiet = true)
  • static bool connect(const char* src, const char* dest, const char* carrier, bool quiet = true)
  • static bool disconnect(const std::string& src, const std::string& dest, bool quiet)
  • static bool disconnect(const std::string& src, const std::string& dest, const ContactStyle& style)

  • static bool disconnect(const char* src, const char* dest, const char* carrier, bool quiet = true)
  • static bool isConnected(const std::string& src, const std::string& dest, bool quiet)
  • static bool isConnected(const std::string& src, const std::string& dest, const ContactStyle& style)
  • static bool isConnected(const std::string& src, const std::string& dest, const std::string& carrier = "", bool quiet = true)
  • static bool isConnected(const char* src, const char* dest, const char* carrier, bool quiet = true)
• Added move constructor and assignment operator to yarp::os::Searchable.
• Added move constructor and assignment operator to yarp::os::Bottle.
• Added move constructor and assignment operator to yarp::os::Property.
• Added constructors that accept std::mutex instead of yarp::os::Mutex to
  yarp::os::Timer.
• The Log colors can now be enabled also on windows when supported
  (#2076)
• Added setCallbackLock overrides to yarp::os::Contactable,
  yarp::os::AbstractContactable, yarp::os::Port, yarp::os::BufferedPort
  to pass a std::mutex instead of a yarp::os::Mutex.

YARP_dev

• Added new interface yarp::dev::IFrameTranformClientControl
• yarp::dev::TransformClient implements the new interface
  yarp::dev::IFrameTranformClientControl.
• The rpc port of the yarp::dev::TransformClient allows to reconnect to the
  server.
• yarp::dev::TransformServer allows the use of wildcard to erase all the
  transforms between a specified source and * or between * and a specified
  destination.
• The rpc port of the yarp::dev::TransformServer allows to delete a given
  transform.

YARP_run

• The ENABLE_YARPRUN_LOG fixed and deprecated in favour of
  YARP_ENABLE_YARPRUN_LOG.

Tools

yarpidl_trift

• yarpidl_thrift now places the source files according to the "separate" layout.

yarpdatadumper

• Fixed creating directories whose name contains not allowed characters (e.g.
  :, *, ...).
• It's now possible to dump PNG images.
• The timestamp info are now provided within info.log.

GUIs

yarpdataplayer

• info.log files containing timestamp info are now handled.

devices

multipleanalogsensorsclient

• Added the option externalConnection(false by default). This option disables
  the automatic connect to the rpc:o and measures:o of the respective
  multipleanalogsensorsserver. This implies that with this configuration the
  metadata is missing, then the device lacks of some informations such as the
  sensor name, the frame name etc. On the other hand it allows to
  connect/disconnect the client to the port measures:o of the server after
  being opened, and to work also when the rpc:o port is missing (e.g with the
  yarpdataplayer).

realsense2

• Deprecated the needAlignment parameter in favour of alignmentFrame.
  The default behaviour has been maintaned, if not specified alignmentFrame
  is RGB. The allowed values are RGB, Depth and None.

mjpeg

• The MJPEG_AUTOCOMPRESS CMake option is deprecated in favour of
  YARP_MJPEG_AUTOCOMPRESS

mpi

• The MPI_DEBUG_MSG CMake option is deprecated in favour of
  YARP_MPI_DEBUG_MSG.

here.

Important Changes

• All YARP libraries can now be modified and distributed under the terms of the
  BSD-3-Clause license. See the accompanying LICENSE file for details.
• Visual Studio 2013 is no longer supported.
• CMake 3.5 or later is now required.
• Optional dependency on YCM now requires version 0.8.0 or later.
• All the functionalities deprecated before YARP 2.3.72 were removed.

Build System

• The CREATE_DEVICE_LIBRARY_MODULES option was renamed
  YARP_COMPILE_DEVICE_PLUGINS and is now enabled by default.
• The CREATE_OPTIONAL_CARRIERS option was renamed
  YARP_COMPILE_CARRIER_PLUGINS and is now enabled by default.
• YARP now accepts the keyboard COMPONENTS in find_package(YARP) calls.

  components requested in the last find_package(YARP) call.
  If no components are specified, the OS, sig, dev and math (only when
  enabled) components are searched.
• The YARP_INCLUDE_DIRS variable is deprecated, as it is handled automatically
  by CMake targets.
• The YARP_MATH_LIBRARY is deprecated.
  You can check for YARP_math using find_package(YARP COMPONENTS math)

Libraries

YARP_conf

• The YARP_WRAP_STL_STRING and YARP_WRAP_STL_STRING_INLINE are now
  always undefined, and they are now considered deprecated.

YARP_OS

• The shmem carrier is no longer builtin inside YARP_OS and it is now a
  plugin.
• The Run class was moved to the new library YARP_run
• yarp::os::setprogname() is now deprecated.
• yarp::os::getprogname() is now deprecated.
• yarp::os::SystemInfo::getProcessInfo() now returns info for current process
  when called without arguments.
• The methods yarp::os::Mutex::tryLock() and
  yarp::os::RecursiveMutex::tryLock() were deprecated in favour of
  try_lock().
• ConstString is now deprecated in favour of std::string.
• Replaced YARP_INT{8,16,32,64} with std::int{8,16,32,64}_t from cstdint
• Use defines from cinttypes instead of YARP_INT64_FMT
• Add yarp::conf::float{32,64,128}_t (128 only if supported)
• Add yarp::conf::ssize_t
• Deprecate YARP_INT{8,16,32,64} in favour of std::int{8,16,32,64}_t
• Deprecate YARP_FLOAT{32,64} in favour of yarp::conf::float{32,64}_t
• Deprecate YARP_INT64_FMT in favour of PRId64
• Deprecate YARP_CONF_SSIZE_T in favour of yarp::conf::ssize_t
• Add the following methods:
  • yarp::os::Bottle::addInt{8,16,32,64}()
  • yarp::os::Bottle::addFloat{32,64}()
  • yarp::os::Value::{is,as,make}Int{8,16,32,64}()

• The following methods are not deprecated due to the large codebase where they
  are used, but their usage in new code is discouraged, and it is forbidden
  inside YARP.
  Anyway, all these methods are now calling the corresponding Int32 and Float64
  version, but are not architecture safe, since they still accept int and
  double.

  • Companion::exists() has been removed unifying its code with
    NetworkBase::exists().
  • readString() function has been deprecated in NetworkBase.
• RateThread has been deprecated in favour of the new class PeriodicThread.
  Note that RateThread used the period in msec(int), PeriodicThread
  requires the period in sec(double), so remember to consider a x1000 factor
  when migrate the code.
• Several methods in public interfaces have a slightly different signature (see
  #1738 for details).
• It is now possible to write a const Portable on a Port.
• const Bytes and const ManagedBytes can no longer return non-const pointers
  to the underlying data.

  • /yarp/dev/MultipleAnalogSensorsInterfaces.h
• The devices multipleanalogsensorsserver, multipleanalogsensorsclient and
  multipleanalogsensorsremapper are available for exposing and accessing the
  multiple analog sensors over a network, and for combining multiple devices in
  a single device (remapper).
• Major changes to IPidControlImpl.cpp to allow conversion of PID gains from
  metric to machine units.
• Major changes to TorqueControlImpl to allow conversion of bemf, ktau
  parameters from metric to machine units.
