1.6.4 (2012-01-26)

• Nodelet can now be used without all the supporting infrastructure for handling bonds and multi-threading. Nodelet::init() no longer requires a detail::CallbackQueueManager and Bond, but optionally takes a single- and multi-threaded ros::CallbackQueueInterface.

• Loader::load() no longer takes a Bond argument. Bonds are handled by the ROS interface code.

1.6.3 (2012-01-25)

• Loader can take a user-specified factory function for instantiating nodelets. This allows some advanced uses such as ROS GUI, which has a plugin interface deriving from Nodelet.

• Add explicit boost linking in test_nodelet.

1.6.2 (2011-12-05)

• Fixed various race conditions and deadlocks when unloading a nodelet.

• Fixed race conditions on shutting down Loader.

• Fixed bug where all worker threads shared the same mutex.
• When scheduling a new callback, manager more accurately picks the queue with least work.
• Minor performance improvements.

1.6.1 (2011-10-19)

• OS X Lion Homebrew support from wjwwood. Requires explicitly setting g++ and gcc to avoid llvm issue.

1.6.0 (2011-08-08)

nodelet_core is now a separate stack instead of part of the common stack. This change was made in ROS Electric in order to minimize dependencies and downstream rebuilds, as well as decouple unrelated code.

• Same as 1.5.0 release
• Summary of changes since common 1.4:

  • Uses rosdep tinyxml instead of ROS package

  • Separated into unary stack from common to minimize downstream rebuilds

1.5.0 (2011-07-17)

• Separated out from common stack to minimize downstream rebuilds.

• Uses rosdep tinyxml instead of ROS package
