Changes are being tracked on a per-package basis; please see the individual package folders, or use the "Changes" link on the right side of the package pages on the ROS wiki.

Changes for Hydro

Changes for Groovy/Catkin

• Moved to catkin build system
• Moved rosserial_xbee to experimential stack
• Created new rosserial metapackage, with depends only on python, client and msgs.
• Closed, integrated and/or moved all tickets to github.
• New message generation and workflow:
  • no longer uses roslib.rospack, or roslib.gentools (and is way, WAY faster)
  • messages are no longer built at built-time (yeah, sounds ridiculous, but is true, see below for new workflow)
  • beginnings of easier porting to new platforms (the lookup table is now found in architecture-dependent packages, etc)

Usage/Workflow
