Changelog for package yasmin_cli

6.0.0 (2026-07-07)

• Refactor type hints to use Union for optional types
  • Updated type hints across multiple files to replace the use of the pipe operator (|) with Union from the typing module for better compatibility and clarity.
  • This change affects various classes and functions, ensuring that optional types are consistently defined using Union, enhancing code readability and maintainability.
• Refactor type hints across the codebase to use standard typing constructs
  • Updated various type hints from built-in types to use [List]{.title-ref}, [Dict]{.title-ref}, [Tuple]{.title-ref}, and [Set]{.title-ref} from the [typing]{.title-ref} module for consistency and clarity.
  • Modified function signatures and variable declarations in multiple files, including [selection_names.py]{.title-ref}, [selection_placement.py]{.title-ref}, [transition_rules.py]{.title-ref}, and others.
  • Ensured that all instances of type hints are now using the updated typing constructs, improving code readability and maintainability.
• relicense to Apache 2.0 (#122)
• refactor: remove shebang lines from multiple Python files
• refactor: refactor and optimize yasmin code
  • Removed unnecessary code and improved the formatting of plugin headers in discovery_node.py.
  • Simplified metadata loading in plugin_info.py by introducing a safe_get method to handle exceptions.
  • Enhanced plugin manager to streamline package retrieval and signature validation.
  • Cleaned up ROS interface serialization by removing unused includes.
  • Updated action client state to utilize a retry mechanism for server connections.
  • Improved service state handling with a retry mechanism for service calls.
  • Consolidated node resolution logic into a utility function for better code reuse.
  • Refactored viewer node to enhance readability and maintainability.
  • Updated tests to reflect changes in expected warning log counts.
  • Added new utility functions for retry logic and node resolution in ros_state_utils.py.

5.1.0 (2026-05-01)

5.0.0 (2026-01-14)

• build: update setup.py to exclude test packages and add pytest, remove linter tests Remove placeholder linter test files for copyright, flake8, and pep257 in yasmin_cli and yasmin_plugins_manager. Update package configurations to use pytest as a test extra and exclude test directories from packages.

• test: replace placeholder tests with linter tests for copyright, flake8, and pep257 in yasmin_cli and yasmin_plugins_manager Remove placeholder test files and __init_.py from yasmin_cli and yasmin_plugins_manager test directories. Add actual linter test files for copyright, flake8, and pep257 compliance checks.

• test: add placeholder tests to yasmin_cli and yasmin_plugins_manager Remove tests_require from yasmin_cli setup.py to adjust testing dependencies.

• Add ament_index_cpp dependency and update state creation in yasmin_factory

• Adding state metadata (#95)

  * feat(state): add metadata support with default value injection for blackboard keys Add StateMetadata and BlackboardKeyInfo structures to enable states to declare input and output keys with optional default values. When a state is executed, default values are automatically injected into the blackboard for any missing input keys that have defaults defined. This allows states to declare their dependencies and provide sensible defaults without requiring the blackboard to be pre-populated. Includes Python bindings and comprehensive unit tests.

  * feat: add metadata and defaults support to editor and factory Add description and default value support to the state machine editor GUI and factory. This includes:

  • New DefaultsDialog for editing default blackboard values in the editor
  • Updated dialogs to support description and defaults for states and state machines
  • XML parsing and serialization for description attribute and Default elements
  • Plugin info now exposes description and input/output keys from states
  • Python bindings simplified to support arbitrary types for default values
  • External metadata storage preserves ABI compatibility with
