1.2.0 (2020-05-22)

• has_capability only works for enums

• Uncrustify

• Reworked Waypoint plugin to use capabilities_cb Additionally added helper functions has_capability and has_capabilities so that people can use either ints or enums to check if the UAS has a capability. This might make accepting capabilities as a parameter moot though.

• Added alias for capabilities enum to UAS

• Added alias for capabilities enum to UAS

• Added a capabilities change cb queue Plugins can now write functions that they add to the capabilities_cb_vec. These functions will be called only when there is a change to the capabilities themselves not whenever the known status of the fcu_capabilities change. These functions should have a parameter of type mavlink::common::MAV_PROTOCOL_CAPABILITY which is essentially just a uint64_t however being more opinionated is helpful when looking for what the canonical enum names are in the mavlink project header files.

• Uncrustify

• Fixed Removed Uncrustify Option I’m not sure why this didn’t break when I ran uncrustify previously but it seems that the align_number_left option was removed a while ago with this merge request but I may be mistaken https://github.com/uncrustify/uncrustify/pull/1393 I replaced it which align_number_right=true since it seems to be the inverse of align_number_left=true.

• Removed deprecated MAV_FRAME values

• Removed use of variant in favor of templates Since ROS messages are now the storage type in the node, providing to and from conversion functions is sufficient and can be better expressed with function templates.

• Encode factor returns double

• Changed encoding factor cog code

• Uncrustify changes

• Added new parameter to config.yamls

• Updated waypoint plugin to support MISSION_ITEM_INT These changes add a new parameter use_mission_item_int, which allows users to prefer the old behavior. These changes also verify that the flight controller supports _INT messages since APM only sends REQUEST_ITEM messages even though it accepts _INT items back. This commit is functional and tested with the APM stack only. PX4 sitl jmavsim threw: WP: upload failed: Command is not supported. FCU: IGN MISSION_ITEM: Busy

• Removed x_lat, y_long, z_alt from WP These values seemed to be used due to the fact that double had a greater resolution than float and doubles are used in the ros msg. However they were only ever used for printing. Since the int version of these messages has a greater resolution I figure it is more useful to print the true value in the mavlink message rather than the ros message value

• CMake: explicitly link the atomic library (#797) For arm & mips architecture, the linker must explicitly be asked to link the atomic library (with -latomic). Otherwise, the linking fails with: ` | devel/lib/libmavros.so: undefined reference to `__atomic_load_8' | devel/lib/libmavros.so: undefined reference to `__atomic_store_8' | collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status ` Linking atomic unconditionally as library is strictly needed only for arm & mips, but it seems not to imply any further differences with other architectures. Hence, this commit simply adds atomic unconditionally for a uniform handling of all machine architectures. This is an alternative solution to the proposed solution in #790. The issue was discovered cross-compiling mavros in meta-ros, the OpenEmbedded layer for ROS.

• plugin: sys_status: publish state msg after updating uas Before this commit, the custom mode string published in the state message was computed using the autopilot type from the previous heartbeat message–not the autopilot type from the current hearbeat message. Normally that isn’t a problem, but when running a GCS and mavros concurrently, both connected to an FCU that routes mavlink packets (such as APM), then this causes the custom mode to be computed incorrectly, because the mode string for the GCS’s hearbeat packet will be computed using the FCU’s autopilot type, and the mode string for the FCU’s heartbeat packet will be computed using the GCS’s autopilot type.
