[Java-player-developers] Javaclient 1.6.2d released

[Radu B. R. <ve...@in...>]

Javaclient 1.6.2d is up at SF. Changes:
- added support for the Map, Planner and Log interfaces;
- added a PlayerClient.stopOnEOFException property
(use SetProperty before you create the PlayerClient object to set it)
which will stop the Javaclient if the Player server is stopped, thus an
EOFException occurs;
- some bugfixes.

There is a bug in player 1.6.2 and player-head (as of 29.04.05), so you
won't be able to use the Map interface properly unless you patch it
yourself. I already sent the small fix to playerstage-developers@ and
hopefully it will be merged into HEAD. The fix consists in adding a
"memcpy(&info, request, len); " call in the "HandleGetMapInfo(void *client,
void *request, int len)" function from the three *.cc files (mapcspace.cc,
mapfile.cc and mapscale.cc) in the server/drivers/map subdirectory. You need
to add that call somewhere around the following lines:
...
  // convert to pixels / kilometer
  info.scale = htonl((uint32_t)rint(1e3 / this->resolution));

  info.width = htonl((uint32_t) (this->size_x));
  info.height = htonl((uint32_t) (this->size_y));
...

After that issue a "make" call in the same subdirectory, and then another
"make" call in the server/ directory to rebuild the player binary. Or you
can just wait for Brian or someone else to merge the fix and then just CVS
:) Your choice.

The CVS repository has not been updated since 1.6.2c, so please do not use
it until later next week when hopefully I will be able to update it. Thanks
for understanding.

PS. Does anyone feel like writing a few examples for each interface we
support? I'd do it, but my time is sort of limited until June. Thanks.

Yours sincerely,
Radu Bogdan Rusu
