This page lists changes that were made in the 1.2.x series of navigation.

For future plans, see the roadmap. See also navigation/Releases.

1.2.3 - (Forthcoming)

• base_local_planner

  • Fix from Eric Perko for incorrectly computing the maximum velocity to stop before getting too close to an object.

• costmap_2d

  • Moving tests to use rosrecord instead of rosbag

1.2.2 - (2010-08-01)

• base_local_planner

  • Bug fix for missing check that could allow the robot to move backwards under some configurations.

• costmap_2d

  • Put in a check for map origins with rotations since the costmap cannot support them

1.2.1 - (2010-07-16)

• amcl

  • Bug fix for non-forward-facing lasers <<Ticket(ros-pkg 4207)>>.

• costmap_2d

  • Now allows for maps to be passed in that are in different global frames

• navfn

  • Fixing bug in navfn for changing global frames

1.2.0 - (2010-07-07)

Changes since 1.0 release:

• costmap_2d

  • Now allows for maps to be passed in that are in different global frames

• base_local_planner

  • TrajectoryPlannerROS now exposes a checkTrajectory function which allows users to check if a given velocity is legal.

• fake_localization

  • Applied patch to allow setting the pose of the robot using the initialpose topic. <<Ticket(ros-pkg 4113)>>

• robot_pose_ekf

  • Allow filter to initialize from vo measurement <<Ticket(wg-ros-pkg 3885)>>

• move_base

  • Added a clear_unknown_space service to move_base that allows external users to clear unknown space around the robot in the costmap.

• navfn

  • Adding a make_plan service to navfn that allows the use of the planner via ROS.

Minor fixes since 1.1.4 release:

• costmap_2d

  • Bug fix for setting the convex polygon cost on the costmap ROS wrapper.
