• It now uses RobotDescription_nwc_yarp to ask to a RobotDescription_nws_yarp opened by a yarprobotinterface the name of the parts to which connect to.
  If the connection fails, the yarpmotorgui will continue to use the previous strategy (via parameters provided by command line or via file yarpmotorgui.ini)
• the new parameter remoteRobotDescriptionPort allows to select the RobotDescription_nws_yarp port. Default value is /yarpRobotInterface/devices/rpc

Changes

Compiler features

The PUBLIC and INTERFACE values set by target_compile_features have been changed back from cxx_std_20 to cxx_std_17, to permit
to continue to compile downstream projects with C++17. This is not a long term decision, and in future the minimum C++ version required
to compile headers could be increased again.

• Class DriverLinkCreator, used only by device group, has been removed.
• device pipe has been removed because of faulty/incomplete implementation and unused.
• device dualGrabber, previously deprecated, has been removed.
• device remote_grabber, previously deprecated, has been removed.

New Features

Libraries

lib_yarp_companion

lib_yarp_dev

• Added method bool getAxes(int* ax) to yarp::dev::IAxisInfo interface.

bindings

• yarp bindings: Added corresponding getAxes() method to IAxisInfo interface + python example.

libYARP_dev_tests

  It contains common sources to test Yarp device through lib_yarpdev (also outside yarp repo)

libYARP_robotinterface

• Added support to ${portprefix} variable in parameters (#2819).

Devices

• Removed devices rpLidar, rpLidar2, rpLidar3, and the corresponding sdk in extern/rplidar.
  The devices can be now found in https://github.com/robotology/yarp-device-rplidar

fakeLaserWithMotor

• added new device fakeLaserWithMotor

rangefinder2D_nwc_yarp

• added new device rangefinder2D_nwc_yarp (including IRangefinder2D tests)

frameTransformServer + frameTransformClient

• Now both frameTransformClient and frameTransformServer will search for "test" configurations not relying on an absolute path passed as a parameter but will take advantage of yarp::os::ResourceFinder using a file name and a context passed to them in this way:

> yarpdev --device frameTransformClient --testxml_from testconfig.xml --testxml_context test_folder

yarpidl_thrift

• Improved thrift generator in order to handle default values of the variables declared inside a .thrift file.

Extern

Catch

• Migration from Catch V2.13.8 to Catch V3.2.1.

sqlite3

• Migration from sqlite to sqlite3. Fixed issue preventing extern/sqlite3 (i.e. YARP_priv_SQLite3) to be correctly found as a dependency by other projects.

GUIs

yarpview

• Added the possibility to set a custom title for yarpview by passing --title + custom title to the executable
• If the title argument is not passed yarpview window title will be assigned as it has been until now

Bug Fixes

bindings

• IGazeControl.storeContext(): now the method is correctly exposed to Python, returning the ID instead of trying to modify a pointer to it.

devices

ffmpeg_grabber

• Fixed linking problems on Windows.

AudioRecorderWrapper

• It now inherits from yarp::dev::WrapperSingle instead of yarp::dev::IMultipleWrapper

AudioPlayerWrapper

• It now inherits from yarp::dev::WrapperSingle instead of yarp::dev::IMultipleWrapper

frameTransformClient

• Now, if the selected configuration xml file does not include a certain interface, the device is still correctly initialized but that interface won't be available. If a method that involves the missing interface is called, an error will be returned.

controlBoard_nws_yarp

• Fixed handling of IRemoteVariables messages via RPC.
• RPCMessagesParser: several calls to various motor control interfaces have been protected so that
  if an interface is not available in the hardware device (i.e. the view() fails),
  the controlboardwrapper/yarprobotinterface does not segfaults.

multipleanalogsensorsremapper

• Add more verbosity when sensor name is not found.

Tools

yarprobotinterface

• yarprobotinterface: is now able to parse enabled_by and disabled_by xml attributes. See yarprobotinterface Doxygen documentation.

  yarp --version
yarpdev --list
yarp plugin --all
• Tests: If no plugins are available, the command yarp plugin --all now returns 0 (OK) instead of 1 (ERROR).
