Hi guys,

I just release bloom 0.5.15, you can read the full changelog here:

https://github.com/ros-infrastructure/bloom/blob/master/CHANGELOG.rst

However, one change is significant enough for me to point out to people
explicitly. After discussing with our most common maintainers we have
decided to turn on `-DNDEBUG` for all packages by default now:

https://github.com/ros-infrastructure/bloom/issues/327#issuecomment-65283126

This will take affect through attrition, that is to say, as people make new
releases starting with bloom 0.5.15.

If you want to opt out of this by removing the `-DNDEBUG` option, or to
make other changes to the flags that your package is built with, please see
the new tutorial on how to do that will bloom:

http://wiki.ros.org/bloom/Tutorials/ChangeBuildFlags

Please upgrade your version of bloom (which should bring in a new version
of rosdistro as well) next time you release a package.

Thanks for your time,

P.S. There might be a delay in the availability of the .debs for 0.5.15 as
they propagate to our mirrors.
