Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio 2008 R3
Da un post apparso sul Microsoft Robotics Studio Blog, apprendo che e’ stata rilasciata la versione 2008 R3 dell’apprezzato tool di sviluppo per robotica Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio.
Non tantissime, almeno ad una prima occhiata, le differenze rispetto alla release R2. Il blog menziona infatti le seguenti migliorie:
And today, we’re even more excited to announce the availability of the Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio 2008 R3 (Microsoft RDS). What’s new?
Microsoft RDS is now offered free of charge as a download at http://www.microsoft.com/robotics/.
Microsoft RDS is now available as a single edition — containing all of the functionality of the previous Standard Edition at no cost.
New features in Microsoft RDS 2008 R3 include added support for Visual Studio 2010 and two additional simulation environments (Multi-level House and Factory).
Additional samples have been made available on CodePlex, including Sumo and Soccer simulations. By making source code available on CodePlex, the community can modify and extend the Microsoft RDS platform.
Other new updates/changes include:
The CCR & DSS Toolkit has been merged into RDS 2008 R3
CCR & DSS will remain a core component of RDS
CCR & DSS can be obtained by installing the full RDS package
R3 is no longer compatible with Compact Framework (CF) development
Samples for languages other than C# have been moved to CodePlex.
Mi lascia un po’ perplesso il fatto che si menzioni che ora il tutto sia free of charge. Da quanto ne so io (che me l’ero scaricato e provato un po’) lo era anche prima. Boh. Di certo c’e’ l’introduzione del supporto a Visual Studio 2010 e a due ambienti di simulazione aggiuntivi. La nuova versione del Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio e’ scaricabile a partire da questo link.
