[Monobotics-develop] Stay tune for monoBOTICS alpha 1 release...

[<buh...@gm...>]

Hi to all:


The first monoBOTICS alpha release it is set for next Monday (April 5 
2010), so stay tune for the upcoming Alpha 1 Release.

It is expected that this is going to be a tech feature release, showing 
the main features and developed areas, we expect that it can be tested 
for a small group of people, bugs report and missing features requests, 
also hopefully some bug fixes to :-)

For this releases, some code was ready enough to be included, some 
others pieces are going to have to wait until futures releases,  some of 
the components included in this alpha are (by developer):

Monica Perez: WinForm and GTK# VideoPlayer control/widget.

Patricio Palma: Sabertooth motor controllers, Environment AI kits, 
Wiimote wrapper and related *things*, Bioloid parts ..and probably a lot 
of other code pieces around the hole project.

Leonardo Kusch: Kit code generator and compilator tools.

Jaime Alvarado: X10 protocol implementation.

Alfredo  Fiebig, Alba Cardenas, Matias Marin: Dynamixel AX12, AX-S1 and 
CM-5 protocol implementation (page support still not included).

Me (Mauricio Henriquez): Base code developer and maintainer, Phidget, 
Lynxmotion, IrTrans support,  Devantech and VR support.

...and others that I'm probably forgetting, please drop me a mail if I 
miss any contributor.

This time was not possible to include the DSC Alarm protocol and kits or 
the Zigbe NCD protocol and kits code, it was also not posible to add the 
logic generator or the code edition tools.

Many thanks to all our development team and lets hope that this release 
can be the first of many others to come every time with more supported 
devices and cool fetures.


Thanks again and stay tune for the upcoming bugs reports and features 
requests :-S

Mauricio
