Re: RTAI 5.0-test1 released

Hi,

Has the development branch of RTAI changed? I just updated magma (my last
update had been in May 2015) and there are very few changes (most
significantly added two kernel patches and changed calibrate.c).

Has there been development directly on vulcano, and is this going to be the
new trend? Or is magma still going to be the latest development?

Thanks,
Shahbaz
