Hi All,
I forgot to mention, in addition to the updates, the current latest simulator_gazebo release introduces a new system dependency (libyaml-dev). So for example on ubuntu systems you might have to do
rosdep install gazebo
or
sudo apt-get install libyaml-dev
if it's not already installed.

Hi All,
simulator_gazebo 1.1.3 and pr2_simulator 1.1.0 have been released. This is an unstable release and contains a lot of improvements to the gazebo GUI as well as new ROS API to simulation. Please see the ChangeLists for more information:
http://www.ros.org/wiki/pr2_simulator/ChangeList
http://www.ros.org/wiki/simulator_gazebo/ChangeList
Some of the more notable changes are
* gazebo is now a ROS wrapped binary
* dynamic plugins library paths are located automatically through export tags in manifest.xml (vs. setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH previously).
For tutorials on the new proposed ROS API, please see this page:
http://www.ros.org/wiki/simulator_gazebo/Tutorials/Gazebo_ROS_API
Any comments / suggestions are welcome.
Thanks,
John
