Changelog for package create_description

3.1.0 (2023-05-21)

3.0.0 (2023-05-13)

• Add execution time dependency on launch_xml
• Update maintainer email
• Update package.xml descriptions
• Fixed left/right wheel joints in gazebo diff drive plugin parameters (#77) (#81)
• Port to ROS 2 (foxy) (#8)
• Fix xacro warning
• Update maintainer info
• Rename packages for clarity Originally the packages were named as 'create_autonomy', with the 'ca_' suffix for short. This was due to a name conflict with the turtlebot packages (e.g. create_driver and create_description): https://github.com/turtlebot/turtlebot_create.git Since the turtlebot packages are not released into ROS Melodic, the plan is to release these packages instead. If the turtlebot packages are eventually released, it should be straightforward to adapt them to use the description and driver packages here. Summary of renaming:
  • create_autonomy -> create_robot
  • ca_description -> create_description
  • ca_driver -> create_driver
  • ca_msgs -> create_msgs
  • ca_tools -> create_bringup
