[ros-users] geometry 1.1.2 and robot_model 1.1.2

This announces geometry 1.1.2 and robot_model 1.1.2 are released into
latest. These are unstable releases, with API changes. Unless you are
working toward the next release it is recommended to remain on boxturtle.

Note:
There are some permutations of updating which creates a linking error for
undefined references into bullet. If you get these errors, use rosmake with
the "--pre-clean" option and it will work fine. This has only been observed
when following a specific sequence of updates.
