2.8.0 (2017-01-05)

• Remove explicit serial device name check
• Add param to not publish sync diagnostic
• Contributors: Jason Gassaway, P. J. Reed

2.7.2 (2016-11-28)

• fixes issue caused by previous commit - no gps fix msgs being published previous commit caused no gps fix msgs to be published because msg buffers were small, and position msg arrived > 1 sec later than gpgga and gprmc msgs such that msgs were never synced. Added parameters to specify time sync tolerances and to optionally not wait for position msg. Position msg is not critical, it is only used to set position_covariance matrix.

2.7.1 (2016-08-04 05:18:06 -0500)

• Reverts the syncing bug fix of previous commit This is a temporary fix that allows the novatel driver to output /localization/gps messages, even when BESTPOS messages are coming in with time stamps of ~1 seconds greater than GPGGA and GPRMC messages. With previous bug fix, these messages were simply popped off the buffer and no messages were published. Underlying issue should be fixed.
• Fix NMEA/novatel message synchronization issues - Switch parsing of string to doubles rather than floats to avoid precision errors.
  • Fix logic bug in synchronization loop.
• Updated novatel_oem628 so it uses swri_roscpp
• Working on migrating to Indigo.
• Install launch file.
• Contributors: Edward Venator, Jason Gassaway, Kris Kozak, Nicholas Alton, P. J. Reed

2.7.0 (2015-09-24 15:37:00 -0500)

• Update example launch file for novatel nodelet.
• Fixing catkin_lint issues.
• Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/catkin'
• Adds dependency so messages are generated before libraries.
• Add parameter to set GPS message frame_id. This commit adds a string parameter named 'frame_id' that will be copied into the header of every gps message. This is intended to correspond to the GPS antenna coordinate frame so that other nodes can determine where the measurement was taken. The frame_id defaults to empty to be compatible with previous behavior.
• Catkinizes novatel_oem628. Changes sync pulse time to std_msgs/Time to remove dependency on non-existing message in marti_sensor_msgs
• Add new NMEA message. The generic NMEA messages should be moved out of this repository in the future.
• Initial commit of novatel_oem628 package.
