The Orocos development team is pleased to announce the second bug fix
release of the Kinematics and Dynamics library v1.0, a C++ library for
6D geometry calculations, building kinematics and dynamic models and
doing inverse and forward calculations in a real-time context.

A lot of bugs have been reported and fixed. Upgrading is recommended
if you use the python-bindings, cmake 2.8 and the inverse velocity
solvers.
