Final review of upcoming release 0.4

About half a year ago we made the initial Fawkes 0.3 release. Now we are close to releasing the next version 0.4, which contains several improvements and new functionality. For a developer's summary please have a look at the mailing list post. The code is currently under final review in the current-pre-0.4 branch, where all relevant feature branches have been merged and final fixes and cleanups have been applied. Everybody is invited to have a look at the code and give review suggestions before the release in about a week. Initial packages for Fedora have been built and with the release we will likely present binary packages for easy installation for the first time.

Fawkes initial public release

After RoboCup 2006, when the AllemaniACs of the Knowledge-Based Systems Group started to work on a new mid-size soccer robot, the decision was made to write a new software system. After almost three years it has evolved into a versatile robot software framework used on different platforms, real robots and in simulation.

Today we release the software as Open Source Software to the general public, in the hope that it will be useful to others and to build a community to create a joined effort to further improve and expand Fawkes. The now released software version 0.3 is a particular milestone for the project and its direction. It's an experimental base that we will now continue to improve making it easier to use Fawkes and to extend it by more robotics applications and tools. You are welcome to join the team!
