2.0.0 (2025-01-16)

• clearpath_generator_common/clearpath_generator_common/zenoh_router/generator.py (#146)
• Use the .profile field for the Zenoh router config; don't add a new variable just for that (#143)

• Add a placeholer URDF for the AMP mount, update meshes (#123)
  • Add a placeholer URDF for the AMP mount; STL & final dimensions to come at a later date
