0.6.0 (2014-02-05)

• Merge pull request #72 from pal-robotics/minor-maintenance Minor maintenance
• Default stop_trajectory_duration to zero. Refs #73
• Better logs when dropping traj points. Refs #68.
• Fix class member reorder warning in constructor.
• Add missing headers to target files.
• Action interface rejects empty goals. Fixes #70.
• Reorder how time and traj data are updated. In the update method, fetching the currently executed trajectory should be done before updating the time data to prevent a potential scenario in which there is no trajectory defined for the current control cycle.
• Work tolerance checking methods. Until now we used the currently active goal handle for performing tolerance checks. Using the goal handle stored in segments is more robust to unexpected goal updates by the non-rt thread.
• Refactor how the currrent trajectory is stored. - Handle concurrency in the current trajectory between rt and non-rt threads using the simpler RealtimeBox instead of the RealtimeBuffer, because our usecase does not fit well the non-rt->writes / rt->reads semantics. - As a consequence we no longer need to store the msg_trajectory member, but only the hold_trajectory, which must still be preallocated.
