3.5.2 (2018-12-10)

3.5.1 (2018-11-14)

3.5.0 (2018-09-05)

• Add Markdown ROS Buildfarm badges for Melodic
• Fixing melodic branch with tf2 updates (#34)
• Additional visualization (#31) * adding a visualization for publishing a box with width, height, and depth * adding additional publishCollisionCuboid method overloads * changing x,y,z to width, depth, height
• Fixup CMakeLists and package.xml (#30)
• Triggering UPDATE_GEOMETRY is sufficient, dont spinOnce - triggering UPDATE_SCENE leads to sending a full planning scene including all meshes. For all use-cases in this lib UPDATE_GEOMETRY is sufficient and sends only diffs - calling ros::spinOnce() in random places messes up the event queue (e.g. joint state updates being processed in gui thread instead of the async spinner thread)
• Fix API compatibility by providing a default empty list of end-effector joints
• Allow setting joint values for end-effector marker currently end-effector markers are based on the default robot state (ie all zero), this allows passing a vector of doubles for all active joint in the end-effector group Passing a new set of joint values will invalidate the cache but for our use-case this is neglectible and could be optimized later
