:uk:
Following the announcement of the beta update for the Ergo Jr, we have just released the final versions.

:robot: All 3 robots Poppy Humanoid, Poppy Torso and Poppy Ergo Jr have been upgraded to v3.0.0! :asterisk:

Among the new features: a motion recorder, a Wifi hotspot, an integrated 3D simulator, a full Python 3 support, easier information messages, simpler API start-and-stop for Snap, a Poppy desktop on the HDMI monitor…

If you already own a Poppy robot, you can upgrade it in less than 1 hour by downloading the latest software image and flashing the SD card of your robot with the dedicated howto. Be careful: all Snap/Python programs saved in the robot will be lost.

:asterisk: Only Raspberry-Pi-based, Odroid is now unsupported.

Hi,

New features are really useful.

I’ve got one question: Despite what it was previously done in the beta release, U finally do not keep the change on the rest api about requesting the list of motors for an alias? aka the answer of the request /motor/<alias>/list.json that was updated from { alias: [‘m1’, ‘m2’, etc…] } to {<alias> :[‘m1’, ‘m2’, etc…] } in the published beta?

No update expected about this point, U decide to keep backward compatibility about it?

@Nikolaos Actually this API correction was planned to be kept, but it looks like branch merging dropped it. There is unfortunately no unit test on the API that could have warned us about it.

This is not a major correction in any case, so let’s say we chose retrocompatibility :slight_smile:

Hi,

I’ve got some changes with the previous version (not the beta this time).
May be I do not read well the change log but:

So, as I do not perform any automatic tests on my dev (I know, shame on me), Is there any other things to know about requesting the robot with the v3?

Thanks in advance.
