Re: [simspark-devel] new version of simspark/rcssserver3d or not?

[Hedayat V. <hed...@ai...>]

Hi,
Thank you for your feedback. I'll try to release a new version of both 
simspark and rcssserver3d ASAP (probably simspark 0.1.1 and rcssserver3d 
0.6.1.1 or 0.6.2). (I'll try to change the sending method too.). So, 
again if anybody has anything to commit for RoboCup 2009 please let me know.

Good luck,
Hedayat
