Changelog for package moveit_ros_visualization

0.6.6 (2016-06-08)

• cleanup cmake tests, fix empty output
• added missing rostest dependency (#680), fixes c6d0ede (#639)
• [moveit joy] Add friendlier error message
• relax Qt-version requirement Minor Qt version updates are ABI-compatible with each other: https://wiki.qt.io/Qt-Version-Compatibility
• replaced cmake_modules dependency with eigen
• [jade] eigen3 adjustment
• always (re)create collision object marker other properties than pose (such as name of the marker) need to be adapted too
• use getModelFrame() as reference frame for markers
• moved \"Publish Scene\" button to \"Scene Objects\" tab previous location on \"Context\" tab was weird
• cherry-pick PR #635 from indigo-devel
• unify Qt4 / Qt5 usage across cmake files
  • fetch Qt version from rviz
  • define variables/macros commonly used for Qt4 and Qt5
  • QT_LIBRARIES
  • qt_wrap_ui()
• leave frame transforms to rviz The old code (1.) reimplemented frame transforms in rviz although it could simply utilize rviz\' FrameManager (2.) assumed the transform between the model-frame and the fixed_frame was constant and only needed to be updated if the frame changes (ever tried to make the endeffector your fixed frame?) (3.) was broken because on startup calculateOffsetPosition was called before the robot model is loaded, so the first (and usually only) call to calculateOffsetPosition failed. Disabling/Enabling the display could be used to work around this... This fixes all three issues.
• display planned path in correct rviz context This was likely a typo.
• Solved parse error with Boost 1.58. Fixes #653
• Enable optional build against Qt5, use -DUseQt5=On to enable it
• explicitly link rviz\' default_plugin library The library is not exported anymore and now is provided separately from rviz_LIBRARIES. See https://github.com/ros-visualization/rviz/pull/979 for details.
• merge indigo-devel changes (PR #633 trailing whitespace) into jade-devel
• Removed trailing whitespace from entire repository
• correctly handle int and float parameters Try to parse parameter as int and float (in that series) and use IntProperty or FloatProperty on success to have input checking. Floats formatted without decimal dot, e.g. \"0\", will be considered as int! All other parameters will be handled as string.
• access planner params in rviz\' MotionPlanningFrame
• new method MoveGroup::getDefaultPlannerId(const std::string &group) ... to retrieve default planner config from param server moved corresponding code from rviz plugin to MoveGroup interface to facilitate re-use
• correctly initialize scene robot\'s parameters after initialization
  • loaded parameters were ignored
  • changed default alpha value to 1 to maintain previous behaviour
• load default_planner_config from default location instead of loading from [/<ns>/default_planner_config]{.title-ref}, use [/<ns>/move_group/<group>/default_planner_config]{.title-ref}, which is the default location for [planner_configs]{.title-ref} too
• Merge pull request #610: correctly update all markers after robot motion
• fixing conflicts, renaming variable
• Merge pull request #612 from ubi-agni/interrupt-traj-vis interrupt trajectory visualization on arrival of new display trajectory
• cherry-picked PR #611 fix segfault when disabling and re-enabling TrajectoryVisualization
• cherry-picked PR #609 load / save rviz\' workspace config fixed tab order of rviz plugin widgets use move_group/default_workspace_bounds as a fallback for workspace bounds
• fixup! cleanup TrajectoryVisualization::update only enter visualization loop when displaying_trajectory_message is defined
• added missing initialization
• correctly setAlpha for new trail

• fixed race condition for trajectory-display interruption - TrajectoryVisualization::update() switches to new trajectory automatically when it has finished displaying the old one - TrajectoryVisualization::interruptCurrentDisplay() might interrupt this newly started trajectory consequences:

  • protect switching of trajectory with mutex
  • interrupt only if trajectory display progressed past first waypoint

  - removed obsolete signal timeToShowNewTrail: update() automatically switches and updates trail in sync

• cleanup TrajectoryVisualization::update simplified code to switch to new trajectory / start over animation in loop mode

• new GUI property to allow immediate interruption of displayed trajectory

• immediately show trajectory after planning (interrupting current display)

• fix segfault when disabling and re-enabling TrajectoryVisualization animating_path was still true causing update() to access displaying_trajectory_message, which was reset onDisable().

• update pose of all markers when any marker moved Having several end-effector markers attached to a group (e.g. a multi-fingered hand having an end-effector per fingertip and an end-effector for the hand base), all markers need to update their pose on any motion of any marker. In the example: if the hand base is moved, the fingertip markers should be moved too.

• use move_group/default_workspace_bounds as a fallback for workspace bounds

• code style cleanup

• fixed tab order of rviz plugin widgets

• load / save rviz\' workspace config

• saves robot name to db from moveit. also robot name accessible through robot interface python wrapper

• Added install rule to install moveit_joy.py.

• motion_planning_frame_planning: use /default_planner_config parma to specify default planning algorithm

• Avoid adding a slash if getMoveGroupNS() is empty. If the getMoveGroupNS() returns an empty string, ros::names::append() inserts a slash in front of \'right\', which changes it to a global name. Checking getMoveGroupNS() before calling append removes the issue. append() behaviour will not be changed in ros/ros_comm.
