[[actionlib]] and [[bfl]] were separated out in this release cycle and can be separately installed. === Changes in Fuerte === <> * `common` stack is removed. * [[bfl]] and [[actionlib]] are moved into their own unary stack. * `tinyxml` and `yaml_cpp` are removed. === Changes in Electric === <> The following packages were moved to separate stacks: * [[nodelet_core]]: [[nodelet]], [[nodelet_topic_tools]]. Plugin API for faster intraprocess communication in [[roscpp]] nodes. * [[bond_core]]: [[bond]], [[bondcpp]] and [[bondpy]]. bond allows two processes, A and B, to know when the other has terminated, either cleanly or by crashing. * [[pluginlib]]: Plugin architecture for C++ ROS packages. * [[filters]]: Provides a standardized C++ API for filters. It also has a class for chaining filters at runtime based on parameters. * [[xacro]]: An XML macro language.
