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:

Any comments / suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,
John
