Changelog and Release History

Changelog for package bebop_driver

0.5.1 (2016-05-04)

  • Add bebop_description as a build dep to bebop_driver (fixes #45)
  • Fix inline build of arsdk to use the frozen manifest (fixes #46) - Prior to this release, the build script would always compile the development branch of ARSDK. This fix ensures that instead of default.xml manifest file - which represents the dev version of ARSDK package - release.xml is used by repo. This manifest file includes a certain hash for each ARSDK package that enforces a consistent build for ARSDK.
