Hi all,
I just saw a reference to toolchain-2.8 branch in another discussion on the
ML, could someone explain what's going on ?
The 2.7 version seem to have had hard time with multiple "rc". Is this a
way to go out of a dead end ?
I'm also interested in the ROS/Orocos version compatibility change. As far
as I know 2.7 was compatible with Ros::Indigo.
What's going on with versionning ?

2.7 was only released as Debian packages in the ROS repositories,
currently at 2.7.0-9.
I must admit I also can't find these version tags on github, where
they should be.
The lack of announcements of these releases on the mailing lists is
clearly very confusing. The reason for this is
that the release procedure (but also the review of branches/patches) I
could do until 2.6 is
not working anymore for me. From a timing/effort perspective.

It is, if you build from source. If you want to use the ROS .deb
binaries, you're limited to what is
in the ros repositories:
fuerte : toolchain-2.6
hydro : toolchain-2.7
indigo : toolchain-2.8
So we only create binaries for one Orocos major version per ROS release.
toolchain-2.8 branched from master last year, but afaikt it's still in
sync with master.
The majority of the changes of 2.7 vs 2.8 are on the 'extensions'
level, so not API's but extra
functionality. On the ROS extension side, lots of support was added to
be compatible with
the ROS primitives (so access/modify Orocos primitives using ROS
tools). On the orogen
side, lot of work was done to get the masters of orocos-toolchain back
in sync with the masters
of rock. That's also a major step forward.
2.8 and 2.7 are not binary compatible, but are source-level compatible.
Finally, we discussed a few weeks ago to create release notes for this
2.8 release,
and properly tag it, since we all agree that before it was better. But
I need more than a
few hours to prepare that the 'old way'. Many hours passed since, and
there always seems
to be a higher priority task in front of it.

Thx a lot for clarify this. I think we should add this compatibility table
in some public place :
"
fuerte : toolchain-2.6
hydro : toolchain-2.7
indigo : toolchain-2.8
"
I didn't find any relevant place, does anyone have an idea ?
It seems that some of the core dev team have had private chat on this, it
would be great to share such discussions ;p. If I understand well the team
decided to change the way publication is done with 2.7 for a new
lightweight way, but no communication has been done on this... Maybe

It should go very close to here: http://www.orocos.org/orocos/toolchain IMO

This page should be updated:

Not it isn't. The images are not showing, since the urls are not
re-coded towards them (it's raw after all)
I copied Herman's content to the orocos.org site, it's now at
http://www.orocos.org/stable/documentation/rFSM/index.html
I fixed the link too.
