[ANNOUNCE] Orocos 0.20.0

We announce the release of Orocos 0.20.0,
a framework for (realtime) robot, process and machine control.

This majore feature release focussed on refactoring of the API,
validation and improvement of the realtime scripting language and
improvement of the overall realtime performance. The documentation has
been reordered to separate the 'Realtime Control Services' from the
'Robot Control Software'. Usability classes have been added to reduce
the 'red tape' code required to setup an Orocos application. This
is demonstrated by a new demo application ('taskintro') which is fully
interactive and is hardware independent. 
See <http://www.orocos.org/download.php>.

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

Orocos can be downloaded using this script :
