Changelog for package gazebo_plugins

3.8.0 (2024-07-02)

• Bloom-ignored all the packages except gazebo_msgs on jazzy (#1534)
• Structured point cloud (#1447)
• [ros2] Add steerangle publisher to ackermann_drive (#1518)
• gazebo_plugins: Fix min Gazebo version for wheel slip (#1480) This plugin now uses API which was released in Gazebo Classic 11.9. Fixes: f642be7a206c
• Add drawbar pull demo world and script (#1364) Add a demo world with gazebo_ros_force plugins added to the wheel-slip trisphere-cycle models and a script for publishing time-varying drawbar pull forces.
  • gazebo_ros_p3d.hpp: fix typo
• gazebo_ros_wheel_slip: publish member variable (#1434) I have observed some problems during teardown if gzserver receives a SIGINT while publishing the wheel slip. To try to fix it, this stores the message to be published as a class member rather than a stack variable.

3.5.2 (2021-03-15)

• gazebo_ros_camera: Added accessor methods for camera properties (#1246)
  • Added accessor methods to gazebo_ros_camera for subclass access to camera properties.
  • Removed ros node accessor; no longer needed

  * Removed const return types and added vector include to header Co-authored-by: kbjeppes <<kaden.b.jeppesen@nasa.gov>>

• Fix tests for cyclonedds (#1228) The default RMW implementation changed recently and some tests are now failing. This fixes the tests. * Use KeepLast(1) with transient_local in tests There are some QoS incompatibilities in some tests that use SystemDefaultsQoS, so this changes them to use KeepLast(1) with transient_local instead. This fixes some of the test failures but not all. * test_sim_time: allow more startup messages * Fix QoS and initialization of joint state pub test
• Make p3d offset element names singular (#1210)
  • Make p3d offset element names singular
  • <xyz_offsets> is renamed to <xyz_offset>

  - <rpy_offsets> is renamed to <rpy_offsets> The old names can still be used, but are deprecated. This is more consistent with the naming convention used in ROS 1 versions.

  • Add test for deprecated functionality
• Contributors: Jacob Perron, Steve Peters, kjeppesen1

3.5.1 (2020-11-25)

• colcon.pkg: build gazebo first in colcon workspace (#1192) Add a colcon.pkg file to gazebo_dev with gazebo's cmake project name "Gazebo" listed as a dependency to support building gazebo from source in a colcon workspace. * Add colcon.pkg files for other packages Copy colcon.pkg to gazebo_ros, gazebo_plugins, and gazebo_ros_control so that --merge-install won't be required. Signed-off-by: Steve Peters <<scpeters@openrobotics.org>>

• Fixed Parameterized testing on Rolling (#1184) Signed-off-by: ahcorde <<ahcorde@gmail.com>>
• adding buffer to gzebo ros hand of god plugin (#1179) Fixes #1178.
• [gazebo_plugins] address warnings (#1151)
  • use .c_str() for variadic template

  * silence warnings Signed-off-by: Karsten Knese <<Karsten1987@users.noreply.github.com>> Signed-off-by: Steve Peters <<scpeters@openrobotics.org>>

• Port wheel slip plugin to ros2 (forward port from eloquent) (#1148) Forward port of wheel slip plugin from eloquent (#1099) to foxy. It includes a similar change to #1111, which moved the WheelSlipPlugin::Load call before the parameter callback so that the values from SDF/URDF are set first. Then the callback is changed to ignore negative values, and the default slip parameter values are set to -1, so that the SDF/URDF values are still preferred unless a different parameter value is specified in a launch file. Signed-off-by: Steve Peters <<scpeters@openrobotics.org>>
• Added ignition common profiler to ros2 (#1141) Signed-off-by: ahcorde <<ahcorde@gmail.com>>
• Contributors: Alejandro Hernández Cordero, Karsten Knese, Steve Macenski, Steve Peters

3.5.0 (2020-06-19)

• Merge pull request #1130 from ros-simulation/foxy_tests Fix all Foxy tests
• Merge pull request #1129 from ros-simulation/e_to_f_june_2020 Eloquent ➡️ Foxy
• Apply acceleration until both left and right reach targetspeed (#1009) Co-authored-by: Louise Poubel <<louise@openrobotics.org>>
• use target include directories (#1040) Co-authored-by: Louise Poubel <<louise@openrobotics.org>>
• Dashing -> Eloquent
• [forward port] Image publishers use SensorDataQoSProfile (#1031) (#1052) All other sensor publishers were updated previously to use the same profile (#926). I'm not sure if the image publishers were overlooked or the image_transport API didn't support setting the QoS profile at the time.
• Fix cppcheck errors (#1123) cppcheck 1.90 complains about syntax errors even though it is valid C++ code. This refactoring fixes the reported errors.
• Replace deprecated parameters callback API (#1121) rclcpp::Node now supports multiple parameter callbacks, so we do not need to worry about overwriting an existing callback. This change fixes compile time deprecation warnings since ROS Foxy.
• Replace deprecated image_common headers (#1122) This fixes compile-time deprecation warnings.

• Measure IMU orientation with respect to world (ros2) (#1064) * Measure IMU orientation with respect to world (#1058) Report the IMU orientation from the sensor plugin with respect to the world frame. This complies with convention documented in REP 145: https://www.ros.org/reps/rep-0145.html In order to not break existing behavior, users should opt-in by adding a new SDF tag. Co-authored-by: Jacob Perron <<jacob@openrobotics.org>> * IMU sensor: comply with REP 145 by default Change default value of initial_orientation_as_reference to false and print deprecation warning if user explicitly sets it to true. Co-authored-by: Jacob Perron <<jacob@openrobotics.org>>

• Make QoS for publishers and subscriptions configurable (#1092) * Make QoS for publishers and subscriptions configurable Whenever a plugin creates a ROS publisher or subscription, use the QoS profile provided by the node for the given topic. This enables users to override the QoS settings in SDF. Depends on https://github.com/ros-simulation/gazebo_ros_pkgs/pull/1091.

• Adding depth camera world to use in test to make depth camera have right timestamp #408- appears to be working (though only looking at horizon) but getting these sdf errors:
• #408 Make the multi camera timestamps current rather than outdated, also reuse the same update code
• Fix merge with kinetic branch
• #408 Making a test for multicamra that shows the timestamps are currently outdated, will fix them similar to how the regular camera was fixed.
• Fix for issue #408. The last measurement time is the time that gazebo generated the sensor data, so ought to be used. updateRate doesn't seem that useful. The other cameras need similar fixes to have the proper timestamps.

• 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]{.title-ref} statement corresponding to the correct type of dynamic_pointer_cast. This macro should be narrowly scoped to protect other code.

• 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()]{.title-ref} This fixes segfaults in gazebo_ros_depth_camera and gazebo_ros_openni_kinect as the pointers have not been initialized there.
• Use [RenderingIFace.hh]{.title-ref}

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>]{.title-ref} will not be valid [include <gazebo/physics/physics.hh>]{.title-ref} must be done instead.

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.

2.1.4 (2013-07-14)
