This caused all the time_from_starts to be set to 0. This in turn caused all the trajectory points to be played instantly one after the other in Gazebo.

2.4.10 (2016-02-25)

• gazebo_ros_utils.h: include gazebo_config.h Make sure to include gazebo_config.h, which defines the GAZEBO_MAJOR_VERSION macro
• Fix compiler error with SetHFOV In gazebo7, the rendering::Camera::SetHFOV function is overloaded with a potential for ambiguity, as reported in the following issue: https://bitbucket.org/osrf/gazebo/issues/1830 This fixes the build by explicitly defining the Angle type.
• Add missing boost header Some boost headers were remove from gazebo7 header files and gazebo_ros_joint_state_publisher.cpp was using it implicitly.
• Fix gazebo7 build errors The SensorPtr types have changed from boost:: pointers to std:: pointers, which requires boost::dynamic_pointer_cast to change to std::dynamic_pointer_cast. A helper macro is added that adds a using statement corresponding to the correct type of dynamic_pointer_cast. This macro should be narrowly scoped to protect other code.
• Fix gazebo6 deprecation warnings Several RaySensor functions are deprecated in gazebo6 and are removed in gazebo7. The return type is changed to use ignition math and the function name is changed. This adds ifdef's to handle the changes.

• Simplify gazebo_plugins/CMakeLists.txt Replace cxx_flags and ld_flags variables with simpler cmake macros and eliminate unnecessary references to SDFormat_LIBRARIES, since they are already part of GAZEBO_LIBRARIES.
• Put some cmake lists on multiple lines to improve readability.
• Add dependencies on dynamic reconfigure files Occasionally the build can fail due to some targets having an undeclared dependency on automatically generated dynamic reconfigure files (GazeboRosCameraConfig.h for example). This commit declares several of those dependencies.

2.4.0 (2013-10-14)

2.3.3 (2013-10-10)

• gazebo_plugins: use shared pointers for variables shared among cameras It is not allowed to construct a shared_ptr from a pointer to a member variable.
• gazebo_plugins: moved initialization of shared_ptr members of GazeboRosCameraUtils to GazeboRosCameraUtils::Load() This fixes segfaults in gazebo_ros_depth_camera and gazebo_ros_openni_kinect as the pointers have not been initialized there.
• Use RenderingIFace.hh

2.3.2 (2013-09-19)
