[ANNOUNCE] Orocos 0.24.0

OROCOS v0.24.0 Release Notes
   http://www.orocos.org
----------------------------

We announce the release of Orocos 0.24.0, a framework for (real-time)
robot, process and machine control.

This major feature release added the following projects to the Orocos
software:

 * CORBA support
   The Orocos framework is adapted to support transparent CORBA calls
   between components, using TAO. Properties, Methods and Commands can
   be read and modified over a network. Fully transparent, no CORBA
   knowledge required.

 * Toolkit Type System
   Any external library (or user program) can extend Orocos with its
   own data types (structs) for use in capturing, real-time scripting,
   XML serialisation, and network transport.

 * Start of new Component Model
   This release supports the new 'TaskContext' component model
   of Orocos, for which components are developed in a separate
   software project.

Feature improvements, API changes, bugfixes and caveats can be found in :
