Changelog for package designator_integration

Forthcoming

• Fixed CMakeLists.txt

• Mostly cleaned up package.xml and CMakeLists.txt for deployment

• Changed data type to ''void'' instead of ''char'' to not confuse string interface

• Added convenience constructor and changed default designator type to 'OBJECT'

• Add quotation marks around printed strings

• Allow multiple definitions of values with the same key; also, support output for pose and posestamped

• Convenience constructor

• Added automatic conversion mechanisms between strings and floats when asking for the respective value from a key value pair (i.e. a designator)

• Added functions for getting a list of all defined keys in a designator

• Forgot to commit changes to other files

• Onlye send out example designator once

• Made the example node a bit more expressive in terms of sending out designator messages

• Added copying key value pairs and initializing designators from key value pairs

• fixed CMakeLists.txt and package.xml dependencies.

• The property type is now correctly set to `DATA' when data is placed in it.

• Properly integrated the use of the `data' field. Communicated designators can now carry the `data' field, which is a vector of bytes on ROS side and a char array on the C++ side. This might be useful for transferring binary data, such as images, textures, meshes, audio, etc.
