Details
- Released Date: June 2, 2010
- File Size: 5.2 MB
- File Format: ZIP
Changelog
NatNet SDK 2.2 April 25, 2010
Added new Unicast Point-to-Point connection type. Servers and clients can now use MultiCast or Unicast as their connection type. Connection type between server and client must be the same.

Added application-definable command and data port assignments, including Multicast address.

Added VC redistributable installer (\Samples\VCRedist\vcredist_x86.exe) for running the pre-compiled samples on machines without VisualStudio and/or the correct version of the CRT runtime installed on them.

Changed PacketClient to support shared addresses (SO_REUSEADDR). Necessary when server and client are running on same machine.

Changed SimpleServer, SampleClient, and Winforms client to illustrate Unicast usage.

Changed default Multicast address/port to IANA safe default values.

Fixed precompiled WinForms sample which crashed on some machines.
NatNet SDK 2.1 November 20, 2009
Added new "Skeleton" data type, representing a named, hierarchical collection of RigidBodies.
NatNet SDK 2.0 November 12, 2009
Added new RigidBody parameters.

RigidBody Name to RigidBody description

MarkerData to RigidBody Data, including ID, position, and size

MeanError to RigidBody data

Added new managed (.NET) class library (NatNetML.dll). Allows for NatNetClient and NatNet data types to be consumed directly in .NET compatible environments (e.g. VB.Net, C#, LabView, MatLab).

Added new WinForms .NET sample application illustrating NatNetML consumption.

Added new depacketization sample (PacketClient) to replace the bitstream syntax. This sample can be used to decode NatNet packets directly without the need for the NatNet SDK. Intended only for clients that cannot use the NatNet SDK (e.g. Unix clients).

Added new SDK documentation.

Added basic Client/Server message passing support (SendMessage(..)/SendMessageAndWait(..)).

Added ability to allow connections to a single server from multiple clients on same and/or different machines.

Changed SampleClient to illustrate MarkerSet and RigidBody data handling.

Changed SampleServer and SimpleServer samples by merging into a single, simplified NatNet Server example.

Changed SampleClient3D to include conversion and display of RigidBody quaternions to euler angles.

Changed to IPV6 protocol.
NatNet SDK 1.2 January 23, 2008
Added VC8 static library (NatNetLibStatic.lib)

Added VC6 static library (NatNetvc6StaticLib.lib)

Added x64 libraries (dynamic and static)

Added Bitstream syntax documentation.

Added rigid body data type support.

Added versioning information. NatNet version information is now available from file (DLL), local version (NatNetHelper::NatNetVersion), and from the connected application(ServerDescription.NatNetVersion()) to help ensure NatNet server/client versions are in synch.

Changed to Visual Studio 2005 Project files.

Removed all /clr references. NatNet and the samples use strictly native code.

Changed NatNet types and helper routines to improve usage.

Changed SampleServer and Sampleclient programs updated to illustrate new usages.
