I'm pleased to announce the release of OctoMap 1.4, along with the
updated octomap_mapping ROS stack for electric (see
http://octomap.sf.net/ and
http://www.ros.org/wiki/octomap_mapping). The
updated viewer and visualization library "octovis" is available
separately in the octomap_visualization stack.
The main new features since the latest stable 1.2 release are a new
generalized IO functionality and file format for octrees, support for
per-voxel color information in a specialized tree class (e.g. from the
Kinect:
http://youtu.be/9f32FmbtHCs) and full support for Linux, Mac OS
and Windows (the latter still experimental). The API remained mostly
unchanged.

Ubuntu packages for ROS electric are being built and will be available
in your package manager soon. Until then, you can get the
octomap_mapping stack from
