2.1.1 (2017-04-27) -----------* update maintainers * Adding pressure plugin to urdf description * Contributors: fmina, pvechersky

2.1.0 (2017-04-08) -----------* Implementing fixed-wing operation with a joystick * Implementing the rest of parameter parsing and forces + moments calculations * Parameterizing techpod mesh files and aerodynamic parameters * Adding xacro parameter for wind speed mean * The ROS interface plugin is now attached to a static model in the world rather than being attahed to the firefly MAV. * Removed dead code from the .xacro macro for the ROS interface plugin. * Removed dead commented code. * More attempted tweaks to fix errors with substitutaion_args/xacro.py. Added better debug print. * Odometry message now being captured by ROS interface plugin and published to ROS framework. Hovering example now works again. * ROS interface plugin publishing actuators and link state messages to ROS platform * ROS message interface plugin now converts magnetic field messages and publishes to ROS. * Changed the name of the robot location GPS message to nav_sat_fix (since there is more than one GPS message type). * Fixed issue with topic name differences between IMU/GPS plugins and the interface plugin. * New Gazebo message interface plugin is loading correctly when hover sim is launched. * Gazebo is now outputting debug messages to the console (verbose mode is turned on through launch file). * The ROS interface plugin is now attached to a static model in the world rather than being attahed to the firefly MAV. * Removed dead code from the .xacro macro for the ROS interface plugin. * Removed dead commented code. * More attempted tweaks to fix errors with substitutaion_args/xacro.py. Added better debug print. * change euroc to neo * Delete neo9_generic_odometry_sensor.gazebo * Delete neo11_generic_odometry_sensor.gazebo * change euroc_hex to neo11 * add neo11 * add neo9 to rotors * Odometry message now being captured by ROS interface plugin and published to ROS framework. Hovering example now works again. * ROS interface plugin publishing actuators and link state messages to ROS platform * ROS message interface plugin now converts magnetic field messages and publishes to ROS. * Changed the name of the robot location GPS message to nav_sat_fix (since there is more than one GPS message type). * Fixed issue with topic name differences between IMU/GPS plugins and the interface plugin. * New Gazebo message interface plugin is loading correctly when hover sim is launched. * Gazebo is now outputting debug messages to the console (verbose mode is turned on through launch file). * Launch and RVIZ config file for viewing Techpod model in RVIZ * Adding meshes and URDF components for flaps in Techpod model * Adding GPS to components snipets and mounting it on a fixed-wing Techpod model * Fixing small details and removing references to gazebo plugins * Adding Techpod URDF desciption files and a general URDF for fixed-wing * Adding meshes for Techpod, extracted from actual CAD model * Magnetometer refactoring to make use of constexpr and proper transform convention * Modifying component_snipets to use the new custom magnetometer plugin * Adding some noise based on ADIS16448 specs * Adding a macro for magnetometer component * Fixing all the RotorS launch files to work with more generic description files * Adding 'wait_to_record_bag' parameter to all quad base description files * Adding ability to start and stop rosbag recording on command * Fixing a couple of small bugs in mavlink interface plugin * Refactoring mavlink interface plugin more * Adding vehicle and controller parameter files for new models * Removing unfinished parts of px4 dummy controller and gazebo mavlink interface. Refactoring gazebo mavlink interface. * Removing the unfinished wing plugin and the VTOL model * Making the URDF description files more generic * Adding 'world-name' as an argument to most launch files * added optical link also to stereo camera * add optical joint for camera * fix namespace variable missing $ sign * Updated to use mavros_msgs. Optionally add mavlink_interface to gazebo models * started cleanup of odometry plugin * removed unnecessary mav_name_suffix and switched to using waypoint_publisher Added an optional delay parameter in the waypoint publisher to publish a waypoint at a later instance of time. * Update hummingbird.xacro use "mav_name" arg which has an additional suffix, in order to prevent namespace conflict when launching several mavs of the same type. * Update pelican.xacro use "mav_name" arg which has an additional suffix, in order to prevent namespace conflict when launching several mavs of the same type. * Update firefly.xacro use "mav_name" arg which has an additional suffix, in order to prevent namespace conflict when launching several mavs of the same type. * switch url website in package.xml to github repo * Added the mavlink interface plugin to the iris model via sdf file * replace middle dot with a period * update iris with upstream changes * update ardrone with upstream changes * Merge remote-tracking branch 'upstream/master' into px4_nodes_upstreammerge3 * remove old/outdated urdf/xacro files * update launch and xacro files to new names, update use of odometry plugin * move px4 files to new directories * Contributors: Andre Phu-Van Nguyen, Fadri Furrer, Geoffrey Hunter, Haoyao Chen, Michael Burri, Mina Kamel, Pavel, Raghav Khanna, Thomas Gubler, devbharat, fmina, pvechersky
