New ARToolKit svn repository; cvs discontinued; ohloh
Hi all,
I have migrated the ARToolKit v2.x source to SourceForge's Subversion (svn) service. This should make it much easier for people to stay current with the ARToolKit v2.x sourcecode between releases.
The cvs service has been discontinued. Although cvs may still be accessible, all new data will be committed into the svn repository. If you currently have the cvs repo checked out, please check-out the new svn repo instead.
The command-line svn tool command to check out the trunk of the repository to a directory named artoolkit is:
svn co https://artoolkit.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/artoolkit/trunk artoolkit
Full SVN downloads and documentation can be obtained from http://subversion.tigris.org/
On a related note, I have added ARToolKit to the ohloh statistics service. If you use ARToolKit, please register with ohloh and add ARToolKit to your "stacks". This will help raise the profile of the project. See http://www.ohloh.net/projects/3954

ARToolKit 2.72 release
With the release of HIT Lab NZ's OSGART (OpenSceneGraph + ARToolKit) framework imminent, I'm pleased to announce a release of the GPL-licensed ARToolKit v2.
Download ARToolKit 2.72 at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=116280
ARToolKit 2.72 contains a number of improvements over previous releases, with several of these focussed on the video capture libraries. Wayne Piekarski and Hartmut Seichter have substantially updated the Linux video input and added Pointgrey and Gstreamer video capture.
Those of you trying to integrate ARToolKit's coordinate system with existing OpenGL drawing will be pleased to see versions of the OpenGL projection and modelview matrix creation functions which now return right-hand coordinate systems.
Integration with OpenSceneGraph is the focus of our current and future work in the area of advanced graphics capabilities atop ARToolKit. However, this release also updates libARvrml so that it binds correctly to the recently updated OpenVRML 0.16.1.
There are a number of smaller improvements, bug fixes and reference documentation updates included. Please download the release and have a look at the readme and changelog.
We have also added more explicit direction on ARToolKit licensing to the Readme. Please be aware that the GPL-licensed ARToolKit cannot be used in a closed-source product. Closed-source licenses to ARToolKit Professional are available from ARToolworks in return for financial support of ARToolKit development efforts.
If you find bugs in this GPL release, please post in ARToolKit's bug tracker on SourceForge at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=116280&atid=674305. This is the preferred forum for bug reports. Patch submissions are also welcomed.
And yes, bugs fixes and other improvements are available between official ARToolKit releases by checking out the source from Sourceforge ARToolKit CVS repository using anonymous CVS. A simple tutorial on how to get the ARToolKit source using a CVS GUI tool is at http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=25731&group_id=116280.
Thanks to all the contributors to this release.

ARToolKit users' meeting at SIGGRAPH 2006, 3 Aug, 2pm, rm108
Greetings to all of you, and hi to those of you who will be journeying to SIGGRAPH 2006, coming up in just over a week. This is an invitation to a gathering, and to participation.
I am pleased to let you know that I have organised a room for the "ARToolKit users' meeting". The meeting falls under the auspices of SIGGRAPH's Birds of a Feather sessions.
It will be held on the last day of SIGGRAPH, Thursday 3 August, in Room 108 of the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center, at 2pm.
The session will be informal in nature. It is intended as a place for the diverse community of users of ARToolkit, both open-source and proprietary licenses, to meet and put faces to names, to share ideas and recent work, to show off advancements and to give demos.
We are also scheduling brief presentations. I will present on the work being undertaken by the HIT Labs, and ARToolworks, Inc. on the toolkit.
If you will be at SIGGRAPH and are a user of ARToolKit, please come along to the meeting, and please also consider bringing your work. If you would like to give an informal presentation, 5-10 minutes, please contact me as soon as possible, mentioning how you are using the toolkit and what you think you could show.
Regards,
Philip Lamb
HIT Lab NZ and ARToolworks, Inc.

ARToolKit 2.71.3 released
The ARToolKit team are happy to announce the immediate availability of ARToolKit version 2.71.3.
The ARToolKit is a collection of libraries, utilities applications, and documentation and sample code aimed at creators of augmented reality applications. The libraries provide the user with a means to capture images from video sources, process those images to optically track markers in the images, and to allow compositing of computer-generated content with the real-world images and display the result using OpenGL.
The release and the full read me is available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/artoolkit/ under "File Releases".
This release is primarily a bug fix release.
Changes in this release, by platform:
All platforms:
- The mk_patt tool now uses gsub_lite for its OpenGL drawing.
- Bug fixes in gsub_lite and pattern extraction.
Mac OS X:
- This release supports Mac OS X on Intel, and builds Universal
binaries, with the exception of the VRML projects.
- A PPC binary package of OpenVRML 0.14.3 is being made available to enable compilation of the VRML projects on Mac OS X on Intel.
- Bug fixes in the video library.
Windows:
- The Win32 video library now accepts in the config string either the
pathname of an XML file, or raw XML. The string is treated as raw XML if
the first 5 characters are "<?xml".
Linux:
- Bug fixes in the video library.
Detail on the fixes are listed in the README.txt. Download and take a look.
ARToolKit is distributed as a multiple source archive. There are additional source + binary packages for ARToolKit dependencies on the Windows and Mac OS X platforms. These include the video input library, DSVideoLib, and OpenVRML. Dependencies for the Unix-based platforms (Linux, Mac OS X, Irix) are handled by package managers on these systems (e.g. Fink on Mac OS X, Debian and/or RPM on Linux).
As bugs come up, please post in ARToolKit's bug tracker, kindly provided by SourceForge at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=116280&atid=674305. This is the preferred forum for bug reports. Patch submissions are also welcomed.
Bugs fixes and other improvements are available between official ARToolKit releases by checking out the source from Sourceforge ARToolKit CVS repository using anonymous CVS. A simple tutorial on how to get the ARToolKit source using a CVS GUI tool is at http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=25731&group_id=116280.
Thanks to all the contributors to this release.
