RCSSSERVER3D_0.7.8_RELEASE

RCSSServer3D 0.7.8

New changes for the RoboCup 2025 competition:

* Rule Changes:
    - A new foul perceptor has been added to the Nao robot. It allows an
      agent to sense its own fouls. As an example, a message sent to the
      agent might contain "(foul 8)" if a ball holding foul was called.
      Fouls of other players are not perceived.
    - Ball holding penalties will now be issued regardless of the
      opponent's position.
    - The kick pass effector has been removed from the Nao robot.

* Bug Fixes:
    - The catch effector now uses the global time of the simulation
      server (instead of the game time) to determine the beginning/end
      of the cooldown phase.

SIMSPARK_0.3.7_RELEASE

Spark 0.3.7

SimSpark 0.3.7 is ready. It contains the following updates and fixes:

- After about 20 years, the TelnetServer has finally been repaired and
  can now be used again.
- The default logging frequency (specified in spark.rb) has been
  increased to 25 Hz.

RCSSSERVER3D_0.7.7_RELEASE

RCSSServer3D 0.7.7

New changes for the RoboCup 2024 competition:

* Rule Changes:
    - The default margin of the Nao's catch effector is now double the
      size as before. The new safe margin is 10cm, the new maximum
      margin is 18cm.
    - A new kick pass effector has been added to the Nao robot. When
      triggered, the ball will be propelled 3 to 5 meters away from the
      robot, simulating a kick, as soon as the agent touches the ball.
      The agent has 4 seconds to touch the ball after triggering the
      effector (see parameter "PassModeDuration").
      The restrictions are the same as for the pass mode. However,
      other agents will not be repelled if they get close.

* Other Changes:
    - Boost has been replaced with functionalities from the standard
      library.
    - SDL has been updated to version 2.

SIMSPARK_0.3.6_RELEASE

Spark 0.3.6

Another year, another maintenance release. Again, no new featues were
added.

- Boost has almost entirely been replaced with functionalities from the
  standard library. This includes the timer system. Please update your
  spark.rb to use TimerSystemStd instead of TimerSystemBoost.
- SDL has been updated to version 2.
- An agent is now assumed to be synced until an AgentSyncEffector gets
  attached.

RCSSSERVER3D_0.7.6_RELEASE

New changes for the RoboCup 2023 competition:

* Rule Changes:
    - A ball holding penalty will be issued if an agent keeps the ball for too
      long ("BallHoldMaxTime" and "BallHoldGoalieMaxTime"). If the ball travels
      more than "BallHoldMaxDistance" meters while being held, a penalty will be
      issued too. The penalty will only be issued if an opponent is closer than
      "BallHoldOppDistance". An agent is considered to be holding the ball if,
      during PlayOn mode, the ball is within "BallHoldRadius" meters of the
      agent and no opponents are closer to the ball. "BallHoldResetTime" defines
      the time after which the timer for ball holding for an agent resets.
    - The Nao robot percepts vision every second cycle.
    - The Nao robot is now equipped with a catch effector on each lower arm.
      When activated the ball sticks to the effector given the ball is near and
      its velocity is low enough. These limits fluctuate. The ball may only be
      caught for the time specified with "CatchTime". A cooldown of
      "CatchCooldownTime" is required to reset the timer.
    - The penalty shootout format got an update. A kicker and a goalie from
      both teams join simultaneously. The agents kick alternately. The ball is
      placed at a fixed position. The agent is beamed to a position behind the
      ball. The agent is only allowed to touch the ball once. The time for a
      single shot is limited. The server determines automatically if the
      penalty shootout as a whole is over. There's no need to restart the server
      between two kicks anymore.

SIMSPARK_0.3.5_RELEASE

This is another maintenance release. No new features were added.

- Use std::shared_ptr and std::weak_ptr instead of boost::shared_ptr and
  boost::weak_ptr.
- Remove libobj library
