Changelog for package rclcpp

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

• 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)
