Important Changes

Libraries

YARP_OS

• Unification of code in DGramTwoWayStream for the allocation of write
  and read buffers (#899).
• Added extra checks in the port names in Network:metaConnect(), with
  dedicated error messages.

YARP_math

• The RandScalar methods are now using C++11 mersenne_twister_engine instead
  of a custom engine.

Carriers

• portmonitor, rossrv, tcpros, and xmlrpc carriers can now be enabled
  when SKIP_ACE is ON.

Build System

• Added YARP_DISABLE_OSX_BUNDLES option to disable macOS bundles.

• Added YARP_DISABLE_FAILING_TESTS option to disable tests known for randomly
  failing due to race conditions.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed several warnings reported by Clang static analyzer.
• Fixed several defects reported by Coverity.

Libraries

YARP_OS

• Fixed truncation of double in Property::fromString().
• Fixed append to wrong string in BufferedConnectionWriter.h.
• Fixed yarp::os::ConstString::getline for MSVC (#1357).
• Reverted flush() added in YARP v2.3.71.1 at the end of
  AbstractCarrier::writeYarpInt().

YARP_dev

• Fixed RPC calls when connecting to right image port (split mode on)

Tools

• Added the fallback port in yarpserver also if yarp
  is compiled without ACE, since we support mcast without
  ACE since v2.3.70.
