0.4.1 (2021-05-12)

• Contributors: Tkostas, Tony Baltovski

0.4.0 (2021-03-01)

• [doc] Add commands when systemd is chosen. (#78) When [systemd]{.title-ref} is specified as a provider, commands are different. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SystemdForUpstartUsers [doc] Add systemd start/stop commands.
• Melodic compatibility: modify getifip for bionic output (#88)
  • Add net-tools as dependency because ifconfig is used
  • Modify getifip to handle bionic ifconfig output
• Break line that the linter doesn't like. (#87)
• [doc] Clarify the logic for automated job name determination. (#82) Problem addressed ================= When [--job]{.title-ref} option is not passed to [rosrun robot_upstart install]{.title-ref}, the job name gets determined automatically but the logic of it is not clear. Solution to the problem ======================= Add an explanation to the document.
• [CI][kinetic-devel] Update to Xenial. (#79) * [CI][kinetic-devel] Update to Xenial. On a PR https://github.com/clearpathrobotics/robot_upstart/pull/78 I saw [CI failure](https://travis-ci.org/clearpathrobotics/robot_upstart/builds/507510733?utm_source=github_status&utm_medium=notification) that seems to be related to platform issue. Using [trusty]{.title-ref} for xenial-based job might not work (any more?).
  • [CI] Switch to industrial_ci. Add ROS2 dashing.
  • [CI] Remove ROS2 dashing for now (see https://github.com/clearpathrobotics/robot_upstart/pull/79#issuecomment-533908848).

0.2.0 (2015-03-14)

• Linter fixes.
• Contributors: Mike Purvis

0.1.2 (2015-03-13)

• Add some basic install/uninstall tests.
• Add uninstall job method and script.
• Remove out of date README content, now forwards to ROS Wiki and generated documentation.
• Add a documentation section about permissions
• Contributors: Gaël Ecorchard, Mike Purvis

0.1.1 (2015-01-20)

• Python Rewrite
• The startup event is too early for ROS to start, use local-filesystems instead.
• Remove bash versions of the install and uninstall utilities.
• Add support for supplying the --wait flag to roslaunch.
• Add Sphinx documentation. To get the argparse docs required moving most of the install script to a module, which probably should have been done anyway.
• Add a new-implementation install script, refactor Provider to be a class rather than function.
• Add roslint.
• Initial implementation of Python job generator.
• Port templated files to use empy. This gets rid of the bespoke templating system that was so bad. Also notable here is adding a --root flag to install somewhere other than the actual root. This needs to be further fleshed out, for example by not reinvoking with sudo when installing to non-root location.
• use LANG=C for ifconfig
• add argument to specify log directory
• Contributors: Eisoku Kuroiwa, Mike Purvis, ipa-mig
