Good news everyone!
We are delighted with the inclusion of MRPT in Google’s GSoC 2016. GSoC allows students to earn a few $1,000’s by doing what the love the most: coding in Open Source projects.
What’s next?
I’m glad to announce the release of MRPT 1.0.2, which comes with a few bug-fixes, a new app (ReactiveNav3D-Demo), improvements in OpenGL rendering (better handling of lights) and a new SE(3) pose class to work in axis-angle notation.
See the complete list of changes here: https://docs.mrpt.org/reference/devel/changelog.html#1.0.2.
As usual, visit the MRPT download page for the list of available packages. Ubuntu users should be interested in the PPA repositories.
Any (good or bad!) feedback will be welcome in the forums or as an issue report, since it’s fundamental to keep MRPT improving with each release.

Installing DAQmx Base in a 64bit OS is not officially supported by NI, so a few extra steps are required. Here is the recipe:
For some obscure reason, there seems not to be one “central” web page where we can always get the latest version of DAQmx Base, or even knowing whether there exists a newer one. Sight.
