Hi all,

With the release of HIT Lab NZ's OSGART (OpenSceneGraph + ARToolKit)  
framework imminent, I'm pleased to announce a release of the GPL- 
licensed ARToolKit v2.

Download ARToolKit 2.72 at http://sourceforge.net/project/ 
showfiles.php?group_id=116280

ARToolKit 2.72 contains a number of improvements over previous  
releases, with several of these focussed on the video capture  
libraries. Wayne Piekarski and Hartmut Seichter have substantially  
updated the Linux video input and added Pointgrey and Gstreamer video  
capture.

Those of you trying to integrate ARToolKit's coordinate system with  
existing OpenGL drawing will be pleased to see versions of the OpenGL  
projection and modelview matrix creation functions which now return  
right-hand coordinate systems.

Integration with OpenSceneGraph is the focus of our current and  
future work in the area of advanced graphics capabilities atop  
ARToolKit. However, this release also updates libARvrml so that it  
binds correctly to the recently updated OpenVRML 0.16.1.

There are a number of smaller improvements, bug fixes and reference  
documentation updates included. Please download the release and have  
a look at the readme and changelog.

We have also added more explicit direction on ARToolKit licensing to  
the Readme. Please be aware that the GPL-licensed ARToolKit cannot be  
used in a closed-source product. Closed-source licenses to ARToolKit  
Professional are available from ARToolworks in return for financial  
support of ARToolKit development efforts.

If you find bugs in this GPL release, please post in ARToolKit's bug  
tracker on SourceForge at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/? 
group_id=116280&atid=674305. This is the preferred forum for bug  
reports. Patch submissions are also welcomed.

And yes, bugs fixes and other improvements are available between  
official ARToolKit releases by checking out the source from  
Sourceforge ARToolKit CVS repository using anonymous CVS. A simple  
tutorial on how to get the ARToolKit source using a CVS GUI tool is  
at http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php? 
docid=25731&group_id=116280.

Thanks to all the contributors to this release.

FYI, I wrote a small demo which uses ArToolKit or ArToolKitPlus
with OpenSG, if you download the source you'll find it in the
Examples\ArOpenSG folder.

Hi guys,

Where I can find the "OpenVRML-0.16.1-bin-win32" file? To use with the 2.72 ARToolKit.

It should be in ARTooKit's SourceForge downloads, but i can only find the older 0.14 version.

Thanks,
Bruno.

Ahh yes, its waiting for someone to upload it ;-)

If anyone wants to volunteer to put together a binary of OpenVRML  
0.16.1 for Windows, including the prerequisites, speak up! You could  
consider it a demonstration of your elite building skills. If you can  
do it in less than the about 20+ hours it took me to get a working  
Mac build, I will salute you.

Cheers,
Phil.

I should also mention that if you like, you can still use the earlier =20=

libARvrml source from ARToolKit 2.71.3 (with OpenVRML-0.14.3) in =20
place of the libARvrml from ARToolKit-2.72 . There have been no API =20
changes in ARvrml.h.. only inside the library.

Cheers,
Phil.
