rcssserver 17.0.0 released
by 秋山英久 02 Apr '22

02 Apr '22

Dear 2D community, rcssserver 17.0.0 is available. https://github.com/rcsoccersim/rcssserver/releases/tag/rcssserver-17.0.0 This major update contains the following features with some new parameters. Details are described in the release notes and the NEWS file. - The direction of the goalie's catch command has been restricted. - Players can no longer use negative power to accelerate backward. - JSON-based monitor protocol/game log format is available. rcssmonitor-17.0.0 is also available. https://github.com/rcsoccersim/rcssmonitor/releases/tag/rcssmonitor-17.0.0 This version supports a JSON-based protocol but needs to be improved regarding the performance of JSON parsing. The v17 simulator will be used in this year's official competitions. If you find any defects, please report them via GitHub issue: https://github.com/rcsoccersim/rcssserver/issues https://github.com/rcsoccersim/rcssmonitor/issues If you have any questions or comments about the simulator, please consider joining the discord server of the 2D community: https://discord.gg/yFxkCcatGe Best regards, Hidehisa Akiyama
