Change Log

2.0.1 (2022-11-14)

• Allow message_type as class in convert_dictionary_to_ros_message
• Tests: Switch assertEqual order of arguments in test_json
• Tests: Add tests for tf2_msgs.msg.TFMessage
• Contributors: Martin Günther

2.0.0 (2022-09-12)

• Initial release into ROS2
• Convert repo to ROS2
• Rename binary_array_as_bytes to base64_encoding
• Switch to Apache 2.0 license This is necessary because the new ROS2 code contains code that was copied and modified from rosidl_runtime_py, which is licensed under Apache 2.0. Switching from BSD to Apache 2.0 should be okay, because Apache 2.0 is the more restrictive license.
• Remove support for checking types In ROS2, it is no longer possible to set the data field of ROS numeric types (Float32, Float64, int, ...) to numpy types, because the setter checks that it's a python primitive type.
• Remove support for time 'now' Implementing this properly requires a node handle and is out of scope for this library.
• Remove python2 support
• Tests: Change Uint8Array3TestMessage from bytes to list Creating from a bytes type is not supported in ROS2.
• Tests: Switch assertEqual order of arguments Expected is first, actual second (this way, the log output on failing tests is correct).
• Tests: Remove test_dictionary_with_invalid_message_fields This is the same as test_dictionary_with_empty_additional_args_strict_mode, so it can be safely removed.
• Tests: Add workaround for typename The field _type does not exist in ROS2 any more.
• Tests: Add test_dictionary_with_implicit_conversion The new version (based on set_message_fields) implicitly converts strings to bool.
• Tests: Change expected exceptions This makes the exceptions thrown by rclpy_message_converter the same as rosidl_runtime_py.set_message.set_message_fields(). Also change test_dictionary_with_wrong_type to use floats, because bool('should_be_a_bool') == True (doesn't throw an error).

0.5.6 (2021-03-01)

• Propagate strict_mode, check_missing_fields in _convert_to_ros_type Previously, _convert_to_ros_type dropped strict_mode and check_missing_fields in nested messages.
• Add NestedUint8ArrayTestService tests
• propagate check_types in _convert_to_ros_type (#51) Co-authored-by: Martin Günther <<martin.guenther@dfki.de>>
• Fix base64_encoding=False with nested msgs
• Add param base64_encoding Closes #45.

0.5.5 (2020-11-09)

• Decode strings from ROS messages as UTF8 This makes the python2 behavior equal to python3.

• python3 only: Validate base64 strings

• Add bytes to python3 string types This means that [bytes]{.title-ref} will now also be base64-decoded, which fixes the following tests on python3:

  • test_dictionary_with_uint8_array_bytes
  • test_dictionary_with_uint8_array_bytes_unencoded

  * test_dictionary_with_3uint8_array_bytes On python2, [bytes]{.title-ref} is just an alias for [str]{.title-ref}, which is why it worked without this.

• Fix and add tests

0.5.4 (2020-10-13)

• Avoid numpy dependency
• Contributors: Martin Günther, betaboon

0.5.3 (2020-08-20)

• Add check_types parameter to convert_dictionary_to_ros_message (#42)
• Allow numpy numeric types in numeric fields (#41) Fixes #39.
• perf: Remove remaining regexes This is only a small speedup of about 1.03x.
• perf: Avoid regex in _is_field_type_a_primitive_array This makes the function almost 3x faster.
• perf: Reorder type checks Perform the cheaper checks first. This results in a speedup of about 1.2x.
