Changelog for package rosmon_core

2.5.1 (2023-09-29)

• Fix state machine for multiple colored sections (Issue #178, PR #179) Something like "e[33m First e[0m and e[32m second e[0m" would lead to rosmon only outputting "First". This also adds a corresponding test case.
• Contributors: Max Schwarz

2.5.0 (2023-07-10)

• Fix compilation with clang (Issue #176)
• Systemd-journal & syslog support (PR #172, issue #172) Ability to log to the system journal instead of custom log files. For syslog/journald logging you now have to specify --log=syslog. This keeps us from breaking any old installations where users depend on the logs appearing in /tmp. Users who want to switch permanently to syslog/journald can do so through an environment variable.

• Add missing include to #include <boost/mpl/vector.hpp> (PR #174)
• Hide stdout log events if output=screen and UI is disabled (PR #171)
• Support importing args from included files (PR #169)
• rosparam: strip whitespace inside deg() and rad() expressions (Issue #163, PR #164)
• Contributors: Dan Ambrosio, Max Schwarz, Ramon Wijnands, Robin Vanhove, Tobias Fischer

2.4.0 (2021-08-02)

• Inidicate when a node is actually Idle (e.g. stopped) (PR #144)
• Add missing dependency on libboost-python-dev (PR #149)

• Monitor: do not leak stderr file descriptors
• Added option to prepend node name to stdout when using --disable-ui (Issue #139, PR #140)
• bytes_parser: add missing include (PR #137)
• Start all and stop all keybindings (Issue #127, PR #133)
• Display & search full name including namespace
• Follow symbolic links during file name suggestion (fixes completion with colcon)
• Fix problems identified with -Wfloat-conversion
• Respect leading slashes in rosparam YAML keys (Issue #130, PR #131)

• Option to obey output=XY tags (PR #109)
• fix a lot of whitespace issues introduced in #76
• Handle nesting with $(anon) subst correctly (PR #101)
• Contributors: Carl Colena, Kazuhiro Hiratsuka, Max Schwarz, marco-tranzatto

2.2.1 (2019-11-08)

• correctly terminate execvp() arguments (issue: #102, PR: #103). Curiously, this bug has remained hidden until now.
• Contributors: Max Schwarz

2.2.0 (2019-10-29)

• ui: adjust "faded" crashed color This makes the selected node more visible if it is a crashed one.
• terminal: new input system that hides known escape codes The old system would pass through all escape codes and generate additional SK_* events whenever a complete escape code was recognized. The new system hides those events, but will yield incomplete escape codes after a timeout (this is useful for supporting the escape key itself).
• ui: line wrap for node output
• node_monitor: Log manual start/stop actions
• colored log output from rosmon itself
• improved support for running under tmux and screen
• UI modernization (PR: #99) with new colors, redesigned status bar
• Interactive node search (PR: #97)
• Add restart count to ROS diagnostics (PR: #96)
• monitor: make updateStats() rate-independent (Issue: #95)
• Contributors: Max Schwarz, Tim Clephas

2.1.1 (2019-07-09)

• rosmon_core: add _shim to installed targets, issue #91
• Contributors: Max Schwarz

2.1.0 (2019-06-25)

• monitor: make fork() operation safe using external shim, PR #89
• launch: handle lowercase true/false in $(eval), PR #86
• launch: trim & simplify whitespace in subst contexts, PR #85
• monitor: remove [exists]{.title-ref} check for /proc/.../stat, PR #82
• monitor: publish ROS diagnostics, PR #76
• ros_interface: handle namespaces correctly, PRs #78, #80
• launch: parse uppercase bool params, PR #79

• Contributors: Adrien BARRAL, Artur Miller, Cartoonman, Christian Jülg, David Walsh, Eric Fang, Max Schwarz

2.0.2 (2019-03-12)

• rosmon_core: add tinyxml dependency to package.xml Fix for binary deb generation on ros_buildfarm.
• Contributors: Max Schwarz

2.0.1 (2019-03-12)

• rosmon_core: remove superfluous pluginlib dependency (leftover from the rqt plugin)
• Contributors: Max Schwarz

2.0.0 (2019-03-11)

• split into separate packages for core, GUI, messages, PR #72
• depend on external rosfmt package, PR #63
• wait for roscore if not already running, issue #61, PR #62
• check for param file errors correctly, issue #66, PR #68
• add --flush-stdout option, PR #69
• Contributors: Max Schwarz, Romain Reignier

1.0.10 (2018-10-29)

• main: exit gracefully on SIGTERM and SIGHUP as well (issue #59, PR #60)
• launch: allow <arg default="XY"> in <include> tags (issue #57, PR #58) roslaunch allows this, so we should as well. Since it seems a bit confusing, we issue a warning when this happens. In these cases, <arg value="XY"> should be applicable and is much clearer.
• Contributors: Max Schwarz

1.0.9 (2018-09-20)

• Fix race condition in integration test (issue #42, PR #54)
• Clean namespace names properly to fix double slashes (issue #49, PR #53)

• Add --stop-timeout option and launch file attribute (PR #37)
• Handle params with leading slashes inside nodes (PR #40)
• Add --no-start option (PR #39)
• gui: Fix index bug in showContextMenu (PR #38)
• Contributors: Max Schwarz, Nikos Skalkotos, Romain Reignier

1.0.8 (2018-08-07)

• main: Add option for flushing the logfile Add --flush option that will flush the logfile after each entry.
• Merge pull request #35 More complete support for rosparam features
• Merge pull request #34 YAML quoted strings
• launch: rosparam: support binary data
• launch: rosparam: correctly handle explicit YAML type tags
• launch: support rosparam angle computations
• launch: always map YAML quoted values to string params These always get mapped to str by python's yaml.load, which is used by roslaunch, so we do the same here.
• Contributors: Max Schwarz, Nikos Skalkotos

1.0.7 (2018-05-27)

• Support Python 3 & select appropriate Python version. This fixes a mismatch on Debian Jessie, where rospack is linked against Python 2.7 and we would link against Python 3.4.
• launch: substitution_python: support Python 3
• Contributors: Max Schwarz

1.0.6 (2018-05-26)

• test/xml: replace more multiline string Catch captures Sorry, somehow these slipped through - and I didn't have a good way of testing these locally without the buildfarm. I'm testing with gcc 4.8 on trusty now, which seems to have matching behavior.
• Contributors: Max Schwarz

1.0.5 (2018-05-25)

• test/xml: avoid multiline Catch captures in exception tests These trigger some weird bug between g++ 5.4 and ccache, which is used in the ROS buildfarm. [...] This should fix compilation on the build farm.
• Contributors: Max Schwarz

1.0.4 (2018-05-24)

• Merge pull request #30 from xqms/feature/global_remap Support <remap> in other scopes than <node>. Fixes #28.
• Merge pull request #29 from xqms/feature/fmt Port all string formatting to fmt
• update README.md, refer to ROS wiki Otherwise we duplicate the information.
• launch: keep pointer to current element in ParseContext This is in preparation for a refactoring of the error handling code. This way, we don't have to explicitly pass line number information around - we can instead pull it from the ParseContext when the error is generated.
• Merge pull request #27 from xqms/feature/spec_tests roslaunch/XML spec unit tests
• launch: launch_config: error on <include clear_params="true" /> Even the roslaunch/XML spec says this is "extremely dangerous". We will explicitly not support that one for now.
• launch: substitution_python: fix type deduction py::extract actually includes automatic conversion, so it is not appropriate for checking the returned object type. Use Python API instead.
• launch: handle <node clear_params="true"> attribute
• launch: launch_config: add support for <node cwd="..." />
• launch: launch_config: node uniqueness check should consider namespaces
• launch: substitution_python: report python exceptions more completely
• launch: launch_config: error if node name is not unique
• launch: launch_config: accept True/False as boolean values as well We are lenient here and accept the pythonic forms "True" and "False" as well, since roslaunch seems to do the same. Even the roslaunch/XML spec mentions True/False in the examples, even though they are not valid options for if/unless and other boolean attributes... http://wiki.ros.org/roslaunch/XML/rosparam
• launch_config: add check for invalid <param> combinations
• xml: param: test robustness against malformed tags
• launch: launch_config: propagate exceptions from lazy param threads .. to main thread.
• launch: launch_config: check if <param> commands exit normally
• launch_config: handle binfile
• launch: handle type "yaml" parameters (new in roslaunch since Lunar) This is actually a bit complicated, since this breaks a previous assumption we made: Our lazy evaluation of parameters depend on a 1:1 mapping of parameter names to jobs - this is not the case with YAML parameters, since one YAML file can turn into multiple params on the parameter server. So we handle YAML parameters separately from "ordinary" parameters, i.e. here our lazy evaluation does not prevent multiple loadings of the same parameters.
• cmake: basic rostest depends on rosmon target This makes sure that "make run_tests" also (re-)builds rosmon.
• launch: larger refactoring of param parsing Simplifies the forced type logic and applies it to "command" and "textfile" results as well.
• launch: split off as shared library and offer string parsing interface Preparation for more specific unit tests on roslaunch XML loading.
• CMakeLists.txt: option to create clang source-based coverage builds
• Contributors: Max Schwarz, Matthias Nieuwenhuisen

1.0.3 (2018-05-05)

• launch_config: ignore empty YAML data in <rosparam> tags See #12 for discussion as to why this is necessary. TL;DR: roslaunch does it. Co-authored-by: Lucas Coelho Figueiredo <<lucascoelhof@gmail.com>>
• launch_config: simplify whitespace inside ParseContext::evaluate() This should fix problems with whitespace such as #1, #16, #22.
• ui: calculate node name padding correctly on 32 bit architectures Fixes #19.
• add LICENSE file
• address clang-tidy warnings
• launch_config: handle relative params with tilde + validate names This also prints a more informative error message on malformed parameter names.
• launch_config: support pass_all_args
• Contributors: Max Schwarz

1.0.2 (2018-04-24)

• node_monitor: don't collect core dumps from launch-prefixed nodes
• node_monitor: fix error message on failed execvp() Previously, the error message was not printed to the screen, as log() is not useful in the child process. Rather, use the intended communication channel (stdout/stderr) to print log messages.
• Contributors: Max Schwarz

1.0.1 (2018-04-13)

• Fix compilation issues on Ubuntu Artful and Debian Stretch.
• Contributors: Max Schwarz
