Dear ROS users, The beta for Lunar has begun! Thanks to all of our contributors and maintainers who made this possible. ros-lunar-desktop-full is available on Ubuntu Zesty (17.04), Yakkety (16.10), Xenial (16.04) and Debian Stretch. So take a moment to be an upstanding member of the ROS community and: - sudo apt-get install ros-lunar-desktop-full - Try testing out packages you regularly use that are available in the beta. - Report any bugs you find on the issue tracker for the package (usually available on the packge for a package on wiki.ros.org). - Try out documentation, tutorials, and generated documentation and fix issues on the Wiki. - If you are a package maintainer, continue releasing packages, fixing issues wherever possible, and checking your package documentation. The Lunar beta is the best time to change API or change the behavior of your code, but don't forget to update the Migration page if you do: http://wiki.ros.org/lunar/Migration To know if your package can be released see the [blocked_releases status page](http://repositories.ros.org/status_page/blocked_releases_lunar.html?s=6&r=1) May 23rd, World Turtle Day, is still our official release date for ROS Lunar and we are on track to meeting it! So mark it down into your calendar, and if you're a maintainer, plan to finish your releases before then to leave some breathing room. Known discrepancy amongst platforms: - octovis is not available on armhf as in previous ROS Distributions Everything other package is available on all architectures/platforms targeted by [REP3](http://www.ros.org/reps/rep-0003.html#lunar-loggerhead-may-2017-may-2019)! For a more comprehensive view of the current status of Lunar, including packages outside of desktop-full that are available in the beta, see the status pages on repositories.ros.org: http://repositories.ros.org/status_page/ros_lunar_default.html http://repositories.ros.org/status_page/ros_lunar_ds.html http://repositories.ros.org/status_page/ros_lunar_dsv8.html http://repositories.ros.org/status_page/ros_lunar_uxhf.html http://repositories.ros.org/status_page/ros_lunar_uxv8.html http://repositories.ros.org/status_page/compare_kinetic_lunar.html Have a great weekend, Mikael Arguedas Lunar ROS Boss --- [Visit Topic](https://discourse.ros.org/t/ros-lunar-loggerhead-beta-has-begun/1790/1) or reply to this email to respond.
