This is the second ACS development to be used in Cycle 8. Below is the list of addressed tickets.

Summary of Changes

News

• Obsolescence Management for ACS
  
  • Obsolescence Roadmap with tentative proyection of upgrades during late 2020 and 2021

Code

• Upgraded Boost to 1.66.0 (Sames as RHEL / CentOS 8)
• Upgraded xerces-c to 3.2.2 (Same as RHEL / CentOS 8)
• Corrected package version for several Python packages (duplicates, open versions, etc.)
• Java dependencies are now installed using Maven repository as part of ExtProds
• Code to allow random delay when starting monitoring in a component to prevent too much simultaneous hardware demand from components sharing hardware resources (Network, CAN channel, etc.)
• Several improvements to New Makefile (More performant, less warnings, removed some bugs, etc.)
• Python imports no longer require ACS to be running. The code that was implemented in this way, was changed to be used as a singleton instead
• Try to avoid destruction of component while its servant reference may be in use by maciContainerImpl, which leaves a component without etherealization
• ComponentCaller now supports simple asynchronous calls that depend on basic callbacks (CBvoid, CBfloat, ...)
  • Future releases will increase the functionality to support custom callbacks
• Improvements to properly support Octet sequence in Python and objexp
• ACS now compatible with C++14, C++17 and C++2a (Current draft of C++20)
• Small bug-fixes for Python 3 compatibility in code not frequently used
