Changelog for package gazebo_plugins

2.4.12 (2016-11-27)

2.4.11 (2016-07-14)

• Use NOT VERSION_LESS to simplify cmake logic
• Added an interface to gazebo's harness plugin
• Merge pull request #460 from furushchev/fix-camera-util [gazebo_plugins] bugfix: duplicated tf prefix resolution in gazebo_ros_camera plugin
• removed extra includes
• Fix gazebo7 deprecation warnings
• [gazebo_plugins] bugfix: duplicated tf prefix resolution
• Revert change. AdvertiseOption API is nothing related to latched mode
• Fix issue of passing a member class to Advertise instead of a boolean
• Fix gazebo_ros_joint_trajectory, whitespace Duplicate of #405 targeted to indigo-devel
• gazebo_packges/gazebo_ros_joint_pose_trajectory.cpp BUG that caused simulated trajectories to run fast The points in the class.points_ member never had their time_from_start set. This caused all the time_from_starts to be set to 0. This in turn caused all the trajectory points to be played instantly one after the other in Gazebo.
• use HasElement in if condition
• Set GAZEBO_PLUGIN_PATH for test
• Add rostest to accompany range plugin world
• Follow ROS documentation and depend on catkin_EXPORTED_TARGETS
• Remove all references to gazebo_msgs_gencpp (ghost)
• Fix row_step of openni_kinect plugin
• Publish organized point cloud from openni_kinect plugin
• missing link_directories()
• imu supports frameName
• Also accept "/world" as frameName parameter in gazebo_ros_p3d plugin

2.4.10 (2016-02-25)

• gazebo_ros_utils.h: include gazebo_config.h Make sure to include gazebo_config.h, which defines the GAZEBO_MAJOR_VERSION macro
• Fix compiler error with SetHFOV In gazebo7, the rendering::Camera::SetHFOV function is overloaded with a potential for ambiguity, as reported in the following issue: https://bitbucket.org/osrf/gazebo/issues/1830 This fixes the build by explicitly defining the Angle type.
• Add missing boost header Some boost headers were remove from gazebo7 header files and gazebo_ros_joint_state_publisher.cpp was using it implicitly.
• Fix gazebo7 build errors The SensorPtr types have changed from boost:: pointers to std:: pointers, which requires boost::dynamic_pointer_cast to change to std::dynamic_pointer_cast. A helper macro is added that adds a using statement corresponding to the correct type of dynamic_pointer_cast. This macro should be narrowly scoped to protect other code.
• Fix gazebo6 deprecation warnings Several RaySensor functions are deprecated in gazebo6 and are removed in gazebo7. The return type is changed to use ignition math and the function name is changed. This adds ifdef's to handle the changes.
• Added a missing initialization inside Differential Drive
• Contributors: Mirko Ferrati, Steven Peters

• Contributors: Dejan Pangercic, Ian Chen, John Hsu, Jordi Pages, Toni Oliver, Ugo Cupcic

2.3.4 (2013-11-13)

• rerelease because sdformat became libsdformat, but we also based change on 2.3.4 in hydro-devel.
• Simplify gazebo_plugins/CMakeLists.txt Replace cxx_flags and ld_flags variables with simpler cmake macros and eliminate unnecessary references to SDFormat_LIBRARIES, since they are already part of GAZEBO_LIBRARIES.
• Put some cmake lists on multiple lines to improve readability.
• Add dependencies on dynamic reconfigure files Occasionally the build can fail due to some targets having an undeclared dependency on automatically generated dynamic reconfigure files (GazeboRosCameraConfig.h for example). This commit declares several of those dependencies.

2.4.0 (2013-10-14)

2.3.3 (2013-10-10)

• gazebo_plugins: use shared pointers for variables shared among cameras It is not allowed to construct a shared_ptr from a pointer to a member variable.
• gazebo_plugins: moved initialization of shared_ptr members of GazeboRosCameraUtils to GazeboRosCameraUtils::Load() This fixes segfaults in gazebo_ros_depth_camera and gazebo_ros_openni_kinect as the pointers have not been initialized there.
• Use RenderingIFace.hh

2.3.2 (2013-09-19)

• Make gazebo includes use full path In the next release of gazebo, it will be required to use the full path for include files. For example, include <physics/physics.hh> will not be valid include <gazebo/physics/physics.hh> must be done instead.

• change includes to use brackets in headers for export

• Remove direct dependency on pcl, rely on the transitive dependency from pcl_ros
• Cleaned up template, fixes for header files

2.3.0 (2013-08-12)

• enable image generation when pointcloud is requested, as the generated image is used by the pointcloud
• gazebo_plugins: replace deprecated boost function This is related to this gazebo issue #581
• gazebo_plugins: fix linkedit issues Note: other linkedit errors were fixed upstream in gazebo
• gazebo_ros_openni_kinect plugin: adds publishing of the camera info again (fixes #95)

2.1.5 (2013-07-18)

• Include <sdf/sdf.hh> instead of <sdf/SDF.hh> The sdformat package recently changed the name of an sdf header file from SDF.hh to SDFImpl.hh; this change will use the lower-case header file which should work with old and new versions of sdformat or gazebo.
