[Playerstage-users] Player/Stage 1.2.4 released

[brian g. <bg...@po...>]

Hi all,

We've just released Player and Stage 1.2.4.  It's a very minor release, so
I've included the Release Notes below.  The main thing is the ACTS 2.0
support.

You can get it at the normal spot:

Enjoy.

Release Name: 1.2.4

Notes: This is a minor release to fix a couple of bugs and add a couple of
features. Hopefully, this will be the last release on the 1.2.x branch, in
preparation for forthcoming 1.3 (or maybe 2.0).

Highlights (compared to 1.2.3):

    * Added ACTS 2.0 support. Note that you may have to hack Player's
      visiondevice.cc in order to change some hardcoded ACTS arguments. It was
      just too tedious to expose them all on the command-line (the next release
      uses a configuration file).

    * Fixed Stage bug reported by Alex Makarenko. Now "omniposition" devices
      can actually be instantiated in a Stage .world file.

    * Added a 3-argument SetSpeed() method to the C++ client's PositionProxy,
      to allow control of omniposition devices.

    * Fixed a Player client-handling bug reported by Josh Bers, and brought to
      light by the Java client.

    * Fixed a Player client-handling bug brought to light by the Tcl client
      (and there I thought it was useless).
