We have made an allowance for PCL being late because we have had to wait for upstream to get a release candidate together, and then I had to do all of the integration with pcl_ros and the core dependencies like navigation. It wasn't clear until very recently that this was going to cause a breaking API change (we had hoped for a seamless auto conversion of types), but that was not possible for technical reasons.No more changes should be occurring, unless PCL needs to break API for bug fix (as they are still in release candidate mode), pcl_conversions will probably get filled out some more, but no breaking API changes there.I am working hard to catch up packages downstream of pcl_ros by way of pull requests and documentation.I have already patched navigation:And Dave Coleman is working on gazebo integration, you should coordinate any efforts with him.On Thu, Jul 11, 2013 at 1:16 PM, Piyush <piyushk@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi William,Are more changes expected, or is it only a question of documentation at this stage? I'm using Hydro beta right now, and I'll try and send pull requests to upstream dependencies (navigation, gazebo) that need to be fixed.Thanks!!PiyushOn Thu, Jul 11, 2013 at 3:09 PM, Jack O'Quin <jack.oquin@gmail.com> wrote:

I have a section in the migration page for hydro now:I will be expanding on it and documenting pcl_conversions in the coming days.I also plan to send an email about it.Why are we introducing a breaking API change in PCL *after* the Hydro feature freeze?Is the release date changing?
