Changelog for package heron_description

0.3.4 (2021-02-12)

• Fix disconnected thruster joints (#12)
  • Use a fixed joint for the thrusters unless we're in simulation; these joints are purely decorative outside gazebo, and the tf is not published except in simulation anyway
  • Remove superfluous .py; they were a copy & paste error
• Merge pull request #11 from heron/no-um6 Rename UM6 env vars to be generic IMU
• Rename the UM6 IMU env vars to remove the reference to UM6; make them generic IMU vars instead
• [heron_description] Dropped --in-order arg from xacro since it is default in Melodic.
• [heron_description] Added xacro xml namespace prefix.
• [heron_description] Dropped .py on xacro since it is deprecated.

0.3.3 (2020-09-17)

• Update ROS deps to remove/rename third-party packages that are not available on Melodic
• Related to https://github.com/heron/heron_simulator/pull/6. Change the topic that the mag data is published to so we can translate it to the new message standard to work-around a bug with the imu filter.
