0.0.11 (2015-05-27)

• Fixed the way exceptions are raised when bad data is received
• Contributors: Kareem Shehata

0.0.10 (2015-05-04)

• Applanix driver will now set the /gps_origin parameter if not set at startup with the origin used for fixes
• Contributors: Kareem Shehata

0.0.9 (2015-04-10)

• Added a parameter for setting the origin in publisher.py. If not set, and zero_start is set then the first GPS fix is used. Otherwise, default is UTM.
• Contributors: Kareem Shehata

0.0.8 (2015-03-10)

• Renaming example launch for more general use.
• Parameterizing the applanix_bridge launch file
• Contributors: Kareem Shehata

0.0.7 (2015-02-28)

• Adding launch file for publishing Odometry and TF. Useful for adding Odometry and TF's when using bag files that don't include them
• Fixed orientation mapping when publishing Odometry and converting from NED to ENU
• Contributors: Kareem Shehata

0.0.6 (2014-12-10)

• Gams param max_heading_error_rms has to be assigned to 3.0 degrees default and cannot be zero.
• Contributors: Vaibhav Kumar Mehta

0.0.5 (2014-12-09)

• Typo in the imu angular velocity z component is fixed. All the required NED (/reference or /vehicle for Applanix) to ENU (/base_footprint or /base_link in ROS) frame conversions are applied to get correct Pose and twist data.
• gams params, dmi params and some geometry params added to be configured correctly. some sample values are provided in the example.launch also added in this commit
• launch file updated as auxiliary gnss to reference frame lever is not neeeded.
• updated the launch file with correct installation parameters for applanix
• Origin now includes the z dimension or altitude so that the odometry msgs are w.r.t. the current surface and not the sea level. quaternion assignment in tf broadcaster had a bug which is fixed now.
• Fixing typo in publisher.py, we Transfrom != Transform
• Contributors: Vaibhav Kumar Mehta

0.0.4 (2014-09-18)

• Removing diagnostic_msgs from find_package because it isn't needed at build, it's handled by the run_depends, and it makes the build servers cry.
• Contributors: Kareem Shehata

0.0.2 (2014-09-16)

• Increased queue size to 5 since data smoke test fails otherwise
• Added queue sizes on Publishers to make Indigo complain less
• Added dependency on geodesy
• Merged applanix_msgs with applanix_srvs and adapted the mapping.py script to generate all of the required elements. Updated the CMakeLists.txt for applanix_msgs to generate services and AllMsgs. Updated applanix_bridge for the changes.
• Contributors: Kareem Shehata

0.0.1 (2014-09-04)

0.0.0 (2014-09-04)

• Adding install targets
• Replaced the gps_utm.py with a call to geodesy.utm. Should work, but not well tested.
• Cleaned up the dependencies from applanix_bridge
• Changing maintainer of the applanix modules to be me
• Fixed package names in launch file
• Removed a bunch of the chunky comments from the CMakeLists.txt for all of the sub projects.
• Moved the smoke test into the applanix_bridge package. It seems to work. At the very least it passes, though it does spit out a bunch of warnings.
• Moved mapping.py back to applanix_msgs because it's needed by applanix_bridge and it makes more sense for it to be there. Also updated applanix_bridge to use the new applanix_srvs package.
• Updated applanix_msgs to generate messages so that applanix_bridge can use them.
• Making applanix_bridge into a proper rospy package that you can run. Can now run things, though they fail because of the missing applanix_msgs. Also note that I've removed a bunch of the dependencies until I can figure out how to do those properly.
• First stage of catkinizing: catkin metapackage, and consolidate the python stuff into applanix_bridge. Have yet to update the CMakeLists.txt for the applanix_bridge package to work properly. Also need a setup.py
• Fixed translator for use in Hydro. Seems to work in testing on the Tango Tasmania platform.
• Switch the translator to use separate genpy package.
• Adding capture file and basic smoke test to driver.
• Moving gps_utm file to correct package.
• Added some minimal documentation to the manifests, moved publisher to its own package.
• Adding code headers to everything.
• Now publishing the origin of our UTM coordinates wrt. the UTM zone zero point
• Small cleanup of unnecessary shebangs, etc.
• Adding option to autoset a UTM origin
• Added params for base gnss setup.
• Adding COM port configuration
• Adding translation node to convert Applanix messages into standard ROS messages
• Stomped on merge changes. 'master' should now match 'work'.
• Merge branch 'work'
• rename applanix_ctl to applanix_generated_msgs
• Auto-subscribe now working.
• Add nav_mode messages every 5s to keep connection alive.
• Working COM port params.
• Initial support for services.
• Last commit before refactoring to separate thread class per socket.
• Add remaining groups, change the array serialization strategy.
• First commit.
