2.9.2 (2021-04-21)

• gazebo_ros_utils: don't set tf_prefix if empty (#1173) Similar changes were made in #1143 to address #554, but this class wasn't included.
• Update test worlds to use the correct element names for xyzOffset and rpyOffset (#1206) The test worlds add an extra 's' character, but the real names are singular.
• [noetic][planar_move_controller] add cmdTimeout param (#1133) Co-authored-by: Alejandro Hernández Cordero <ahcorde@gmail.com>
• [noetic][Windows] Removing extra CameraPlugin header inclusion from gazebo_ros_camera_utils (#1161)

• Leave empty tf_prefix values unset (#1143) As reported in #554, tf_prefix has been long deprecated, so if it is unset, leave it empty instead of giving a default value. Fixes #554.
• Added directives if profiler is not installed (#1144)
• colcon.pkg: build gazebo first in colcon workspace (#1135) Add a colcon.pkg file to gazebo_dev with gazebo's cmake project name "Gazebo" listed as a dependency to support building gazebo from source in a colcon workspace. Add colcon.pkg files for other packages Copy colcon.pkg to gazebo_ros, gazebo_plugins, and gazebo_ros_control so that --merge-install won't be required.
• [Noetic] Added Ignition common profiler to gazebo_plugins (#1139) * Added Ignition common profiler * Fixed typo
• WheelSlip.cfg: ignore default parameter values (#1126) The WheelSlipPlugin already has default values for the slip compliance parameters, so ignore the default values set in WheelSlip.cfg by making them negative and instruct the callback to ignore negative values. Also, ignore the level variable in callback so that parameters set in launch file will not be ignored.

• Fix timestamp issues for rendering sensors (kinetic-devel)
• Namespace console output (#543)
• Adding depth camera world to use in test to make depth camera have right timestamp #408- appears to be working (though only looking at horizon) but getting these sdf errors:
• #408 Make the multi camera timestamps current rather than outdated, also reuse the same update code
• Fix merge with kinetic branch
• #408 Making a test for multicamra that shows the timestamps are currently outdated, will fix them similar to how the regular camera was fixed.
• Fix for issue #408. The last measurement time is the time that gazebo generated the sensor data, so ought to be used. updateRate doesn't seem that useful. The other cameras need similar fixes to have the proper timestamps.

• Add missing boost header Some boost headers were remove from gazebo7 header files and gazebo_ros_joint_state_publisher.cpp was using it implicitly.
• Fix gazebo7 build errors The SensorPtr types have changed from boost:: pointers to std:: pointers, which requires boost::dynamic_pointer_cast to change to std::dynamic_pointer_cast. A helper macro is added that adds a using statement corresponding to the correct type of dynamic_pointer_cast. This macro should be narrowly scoped to protect other code.

• Put some cmake lists on multiple lines to improve readability.
• Add dependencies on dynamic reconfigure files Occasionally the build can fail due to some targets having an undeclared dependency on automatically generated dynamic reconfigure files (GazeboRosCameraConfig.h for example). This commit declares several of those dependencies.

2.4.0 (2013-10-14)

2.3.3 (2013-10-10)

• gazebo_plugins: use shared pointers for variables shared among cameras It is not allowed to construct a shared_ptr from a pointer to a member variable.
• gazebo_plugins: moved initialization of shared_ptr members of GazeboRosCameraUtils to GazeboRosCameraUtils::Load() This fixes segfaults in gazebo_ros_depth_camera and gazebo_ros_openni_kinect as the pointers have not been initialized there.
• Use RenderingIFace.hh

2.3.2 (2013-09-19)
