<div dir="ltr">We have not made it into beta yet for Hydro. As I announced a week ago we have several things left to do before we can release the Beta and freeze the features. See the tickets here: <a href="https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/issues?milestone=8&page=1&state=open">https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/issues?milestone=8&page=1&state=open</a> I will announce when we create the Beta release. And then the final release will be one month afterwords. <div>
<div><br></div><div>We are making sure to have the new versions of external libraries so that with the longer release cycles we won't get stuck in the distant past. <br><div><br></div><div>Tully</div></div></div></div>
