update the deprecated uncompressed command The current ros2 image decompression command produces the following warning because it is deprecated: [WARN] [1662133933.155713605] [rcl]: Found remap rule ‘in/compressed:=image_raw/compressed’. This syntax is deprecated. Use ‘–ros-args –remap in/compressed:=image_raw/compressed’ instead. [WARN] [1662133933.155877454] [rcl]: Found remap rule ‘out:=image_raw/uncompressed’.

0.4.2 (2022-04-25)
Minor bump for release
Merge pull request #184 from clalancette/clalancette/cleanups
Switch the rolling docker image to use jammy.
Add default cases to switches. This just quiets the compiler warnings.
Switch xioctl to take an unsigned long request. This matches what ioctl actually takes, and gets rid of a sign comparison warning.
Use uint32_t to store image sizes. This matches the v4l2 structures, and ensures we don’t get sign warnings when compiling.

Merge pull request #25 from blutack/patch-1 Warn rather than error if framerate can’t be set
Warn rather than error if framerate can’t be set The driver doesn’t currently work with em28xx based devices as they don’t allow the framerate to be set directly and the node exits with an error. Changing to a warning allows these devices to be used.
Update README.md
Merge pull request #24 from rjw57/do-not-touch-parameters-unless-asked do not modify parameters unless explicitly set
do not modify parameters unless explicitly set The contrast, saturation, brightness, sharpness and focus parameters were recently added to usb_cam. This caused a regression (sigproc/robotic_surgery#17) whereby the default settings for a webcam are overridden in all cases by the hard-coded defaults in usb_cam. In the absence of a know good set of “default” values, leave the parameters unset unless the user has explicitly set them in the launch file.
