RAVL, Recognition And Vision Library. / News: Recent posts

RAVL will be changing to use git as its main repository. Currently the version stored in git is currently modified and lacks all of the history stored in svn. To allow us to use git svn to create an updated version the current repository containing ravl2 code has been renamed to git://ravl.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/ravl/ravl2 and a new empty repository has been created as the default one for the project.

We think it's time for an official release. RAVL is being used for commercial products, under Linux and Windows platforms.

The documentation for the nightly builds of RAVL is now publicly available. The address below leads to the documentation for the latest version of RAVL that has passed the automatic regression tests.
