Hey, everyone. I've released a new version of legOS- 0.2.5. For the most part, this is a maintenance release- a few small fixed here and there. The one major upgrade (and the best reason for anyone to upgrade) is the new C++ support that has been (...) (24 years ago, 20-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos, lugnet.robotics)
