[ros-users] ROS 1.1.9 released

Hey all,

ROS 1.1.9 has been released to cturtle. This is a bugfix release with
mostly minor changes.

There's one major thing of note here in roscpp which is that you can no
longer use ros::Time::now() until one of:
1) The first NodeHandle has been created
2) ros::start() is explicitly called (NodeHandle usually does this for you)
3) ros::Time::init() is called (generally should not be done -- useful for
unit tests and non-node executables).

This change fixes race conditions on startup when running with simulated
time. Hopefully it doesn't cause too much pain.
