Release 2.0 adds official support for Gazebo Sim (formerly Ignition Gazebo) and ROS 2.

What's Changed

  • Gazebo Sim and ROS 2 are now the default prerequisites for installing and running the “main” branch of the VRX repository.
  • The previous “master” branch has been renamed “gazebo_classic” and will continue to be available for users running Gazebo Classic and ROS 1.
  • Release 2.0 is now the recommended starting point for new users. (We will be transitioning the gazebo_classic branch from an officially supported branch to a community supported branch by Spring 2023.)
  • This release adds PBR support for the buoys, docks, WAM-V and WAM-V accessories, for improved visual fidelity to materials.
