From William Woodall on ros-users@
I am pleased to announce a new version of bloom!
First some things everyone using bloom needs to know:
- Fuerte support has been dropped
- There is a tutorial for using virtualenv to get bloom 0.3.5 for releasing in Fuerte: http://ros.org/wiki/
bloom/Tutorials/ ReleasingForFuerte - The 'bloom' branch has been deprecated in favor of the master branch.
- All repositories will be automatically updated to reflect this next time they are used.
- I have updated all the tutorials/docs I can find, but please report anything that is inconsistent with this change.
Now some new features of bloom 0.4.0:
- Automated Pull Requests are back!
- The README.md on the master branch is now updated with recent changes, which gives a nice overview.
- You can now generate debian files for an individual catkin package, by passing the git based release repository, see `bloom-generate [ros]debian -h`
- CHANGELOG.rst files are now parsed and inserted into .debs
The full changelog can be seen here:
I highly recommend everyone update and give it a try next time you are releasing a package. Please report and any issues you encounter here:
Happy releasing!
