RHD is a project in ongoing development.
This page will present the versions in development, and the roadmap for future releases. Files for these releases can be downloaded from the RHD:Downloads page
Current stable release
This version, is the recommended version for stable operation. This version should be found on the robots runnig the RSE flash
Trunk
Trunk version is updated with possibility for all clients to be writers, i.e. not just one data writer. by adding a allwriter="1" to the clients tag in the configuration file. This means that an upodate from a writer will be passed back to all clients, also the other writers. The write variables will not be marked as updated, but a new changed flag will be set for the changed symbol element (the database variable). When allwriter="0" or is not present, then only one writer will be accepted, and write will not be colied back to the writer client. (jca/18. sep 2011)
Branches
2.0 (old stable)
This version will implement the plug-in architecture, this is now the official way to write new hardware modules for RHD.
- Major change: Plug-in architecture implementation (AB: done)
- Build envoriment updated to handle shared libs and output structure (AB: done)
- New ncurses client application for testing (AB: done)
- Final testing (AB + LVM: done)
Versions in development
The list below, feature the current development versions of RHD. To obtain a version of RHD, that support new features, pick a version below. Remember, that this versions are not considered stable, before they are released. Requested features will be found in these versions.
2.1 (testing)
- Possibility to configure for soft-realtime through configuration. To run simulator in non-root environment. (AB:done)
- Add stage 2.1 simulator to package (LVM: done)

2.2 (in development)
- Improvement of client-sever communication to all variable data is exchanged on connect. (AB: pending)
- Buffering of update flags, so that all new data is exchanges, even if a client does not update in each period. (AB: done)
