Changelog for package hector_quadrotor_gazebo_plugins

0.3.5 (2015-03-28)

added dynamic_reconfigure server to gazebo_ros_baro plugin See https://github.com/tu-darmstadt-ros-pkg/hector_gazebo/commit/e1698e1c7bfa5fce6a724ab0a922a88bd49c9733 for the equivalent commit in hector_gazebo_plugins.
publish propulsion and aerodynamic wrench as WrenchStamped This is primarily for debugging purposes. The default topic for the propulsion plugin has been changed to propulsion/wrench.
disabled detection of available plugins in cmake The aerodynamics and propulsion plugins are built unconditinally now in hector_quadrotor_gazebo_plugins and the detection is obsolete. Additionally we used platform-specific library prefixes and suffixes in find_libary() which caused errors on different platforms.
