bloom 0.3.3 has just been released, and a complete changelog is available here:<div><br></div><div><a href="https://github.com/ros-infrastructure/bloom/blob/master/CHANGELOG.rst" target="_blank">https://github.com/ros-infrastructure/bloom/blob/master/CHANGELOG.rst</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>The most important change with this version of bloom is that it conforms to recent changes in REP-0127, keeping in step with the recent release of catkin 0.5.65:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://ros.org/reps/rep-0127.html#metapackage" target="_blank">http://ros.org/reps/rep-0127.html#metapackage</a></div>

<br></div><div>These changes precipitated from discussions on the ros-sig-buildsystem mailing list:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/ros-sig-buildsystem/mn-VCkl2OHk/dUsHBBjyK30J" target="_blank">https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/ros-sig-buildsystem/mn-VCkl2OHk/dUsHBBjyK30J</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>This basically means that you can no long release metapackages which do not have the recommended CMakeLists.txt with bloom 0.3.3. Having the recommended CMakeLists.txt file in your metapackages is a requirement starting with Hydro, and a warning in Groovy. Since this is a non-breaking change we encourage you to fix your metapackages for Groovy when/if you decide to release a patch version into Groovy (it is not necessary to make a special release just to fix this). Since it is required for Hydro and encouraged for future releases into Groovy, bloom now requires it.</div>
<div><br></div><div>There is now a short guide on how to update your metapackages to reflect REP-0127 on the catkin page of the <a href="http://ros.org/" target="_blank">ros.org</a> wiki:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.ros.org/wiki/catkin/MigratingMetapackagesToIncludeCMakeLists.txt" target="_blank">http://www.ros.org/wiki/catkin/MigratingMetapackagesToIncludeCMakeLists.txt</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>Sorry for any hiccups this may cause, and please direct any questions/concerns to the buildsystem sig or <a href="http://answers.ros.org/" target="_blank">answers.ros.org</a>.</div><div><br></div><div>
