1.9.8 (2016-11-15)

• Fix bond handling during nodelet unloading (#51) * add test whether bond breaking on unload works (tests #50) * disable callback for broken bond when we are breaking it This avoids the nodelet::LoaderROS::unload() method to be called twice for the same nodelet, causing an error output. * use AsyncSpinner for nodelet load in order for the shutdown procedure to work During shutdown, the bonds still need to communicate their status in order for the nodelet to properly/cleanly/quickly unload. This requires the node to spin. * add test whether LoaderROS::unload() is called twice (tests #50)

1.7.0 (2012-10-01)

• fix dependencies
• make it compile locally
• first pass at catkinizing the stack
• updated to latest pluginlib
• updated usage of pluginlib according to updated REP 121
• use updated pluginlib to auto-unload libraries when unloading nodelets
• fixed issue #5144 on OS X lion
• Commentary on who owns what among Loader, Nodelet, CallbackQueue and CallbackQueueManager.
• Moved most of Loader's member variables into an opaque PIMPL struct so we can change things without breaking ABI.
• All bond code moved to LoaderROS. Loader no longer needs to know about bond.
• Removed CallbackQueue::disable(). Loader removes a nodelet's queues from the queue manager when unloading it, which is sufficient to prevent new callbacks for that nodelet getting added.
• Removed some code and comments concerned with callbacks getting called after their nodelet's destruction. This can't actually happen anymore, since callbacks only fire if they can lock a weak_ptr to their parent nodelet.
• Refactoring to streamline Nodelet back down to a simple plugin interface. It no longer knows about detail::CallbackQueue[Manager] or Bond; init() simply takes the single- and multi-threaded ros::CallbackQueueInterface* instead (defaulting to NULL). Loader owns the callback queues and bond for each nodelet. This makes it possible to use Nodelet without all the surrounding infrastructure.
• Take Bond pointers as const-ref instead of value in Loader and Nodelet.
• Added Loader constructor taking a boost::function object used as a factory for nodelet instances, replacing the default use of a pluginlib class loader. This is to support ROSGUI, which defines its specialized plugin interface as a subclass of Nodelet, and thus needs a different class loader.
• Removed some debug code in Loader constructor.
• 'nodelet load' more reliably unloads the nodelet on exiting. In particular it intercepts XML-RPC shutdown command, used for example by 'rosnode kill'.
• Enabled error output when service calls fail abnormally.
• Rewrote tracked_object logic to be clearer.
• Have detail::CallbackQueue use a ros::VoidConstWPtr as the tracked object, which is now optional. More generic, and fixes test_nodelet which was broken by the last commit.
• Fixed race conditions/deadlocks when unloading a nodelet. Now disable the nodelet's callback queues before deleting it. The queues have a WPtr to the nodelet, so any outstanding callbacks will get discarded.
• ~Loader now stops callback manager threads before destroying the nodelets. Otherwise the worker threads could operate on nodelet data as/after it's destroyed.
• Use ros::names::parentNamespace().
• Cleaned scoped_ptr's out of ThreadInfo and updated its padding.
• Made ThreadInfo::calling an atomic_count. This allows the manager thread to pick the queue with least work more accurately, and reduces contention b/c getSmallestQueue no longer needs to lock on queue_mutex_.
• Minor code cleanup and finer locking in managerThread().
• Actually pad ThreadInfo to a multiple of 64 bytes. Previous expression was wrongly wrapped in sizeof().
• Instead of thread_info_.resize(num_threads), push each ThreadInfo on individually. With resize(), all threads ended up sharing the same queue_mutex and queue_cond. Doesn't seem to be much of a performance win though.
• Added test instrumentation to CallbackQueueManager to track size of worker thread queues over time. Must be enabled at compilation time with -DNODELET_QUEUE_DEBUG.
• nodelet patches for osx lion support from wjwwood
• Added --no-bond option to nodelet loading to disable bonds.
• updated platform tags
• don't need to link against tinyxml directly
• link against system tinyxml
• Fix for #4855 This fix actually makes sense, but that it wasn't caught earlier doesn't. The construction of nodelet::Loader n(false) was creating the first node handle and letting it go out of scope, which was automagically calling ros::shutdown(), which is a dumb thing for ros::NodeHandle to do automagically on destruction.
• Each nodelet now places its bonds on a custom callback queue
• a script to list declared nodelets
