12.0.0 (2021-07-26)

• Remove unsafe get_callback_groups API. Callers should change to using for_each_callback_group(), or store the callback groups they need internally.
• Add in callback_groups_for_each. The main reason to add this method in is to make accesses to the callback_groups_ vector thread-safe. By having a callback_groups_for_each that accepts a std::function, we can just have the callers give us the callback they are interested in, and we can take care of the locking. The rest of this fairly large PR is cleaning up all of the places that use get_callback_groups() to instead use callback_groups_for_each().

0.5.0 (2018-06-25)

• Fixed a bug in the multi-threaded executor which could cause it to take a timer (potentially other types of wait-able items) more than once to be worked one. (#383)
  • Specifically this could result in a timer getting called more often that it should when using the multi-threaded executor.
• Added functions that allow you to publish serialized messages and received serialized messages in your subscription callback. (#388)
• Changed code to always get the Service name from rcl to ensure the remapped name is returned. (#498)
• Added previously missing set_parameters_atomically() method to the Service client interface. (#494)
• Added ability to initialize parameter values in a Node via a YAML file passed on the command line. (#488)
• Fixed the ROS parameter interface which got parameters that aren't set. (#493)
• Added ability to initialize parameter values in a node with an argument to the Node constructor. (#486)
• Added a Subscription tests which uses std::bind to a class member callback. (#480)
• Refactored the ParameterVariant class into the Parameter and ParameterValue classes. (#481)
• Relaxed template matching rules for std::bind and GNU C++ >= 7.1. (#484)
• Changed to use the new rosgraph_msgs/Clock message type for the /clock topic. (#474)
• Fixed a flaky ROS time test due to not spinning before getting the time. (#483)
• Nodes now autostart the ROS parameter services which let you get, set, and list parameters in a node. (#478)
• Added support for arrays in Parameters. (#443)
• Changed how executors use AnyExecutable objects so that they are a reference instead of a shared pointer, in order to avoid memory allocation in the "common case". (#463)
• Added ability to pass command line arguments to the Node constructor. (#461)
• Added an argument to specify the number of threads a multithreaded executor should create. (#442)
• Changed library export order for static linking. (#446)
• Fixed some typos in the time unit tests. (#453) Obviously it mean RCL_SYSTEM_TIME but not RCL_ROS_TIME in some test cases
  • Signed-off-by: jwang <<jing.j.wang@intel.com>>
• Added the scale operation to rclcpp::Duration.
  • Signed-off-by: jwang <<jing.j.wang@intel.com>>
• Changed API of the log location parameter to be const. (#451)
• Changed how the subscriber, client, service, and timer handles are stored to resolve shutdown order issues. (#431 and #448)
• Updated to get the node's logger name from rcl. (#433)
• Now depends on ament_cmake_ros. (#444)
• Updaed code to use logging macros rather than fprintf(). (#439)
• Fixed a bug that was using an invalid iterator when erasing items using an iterator in a loop. (#436)
• Changed code to support move of rcutils_time_point_value_t type from uint64_t to int64_t. (#429)
• Renamed parameter byte type to byte_values from bytes_value. (#428)
• Changed executor code to clear the wait set before resizing and waiting. (#427)
• Fixed a potential dereference of nullptr in the topic name validation error string. (#405)
  • Signed-off-by: Ethan Gao <<ethan.gao@linux.intel.com>>
• Changed to use rcl_count_publishers() like API's rather than the lower level rmw_count_publishers() API. (#425)
  • Signed-off-by: Sriram Raghunathan <<rsriram7@visteon.com>>
• Fix potential segmentation fault due to get_topic_name() or rcl_service_get_service_name() returning nullptr and that not being checked before access in rclcpp. (#426)
