Hello,
thank you for your work.

Can you please send us a pull request so that we can review your changes?
I am not sure which branch is the good one.

Sorry I am not a Gazebo user so could you explain the advantages provided
by your version w.r.t the current master and tests that can validate them
(please include this in your pull request).

If you do so and your patch does not introduce regression I will merge
your changes.

Thanks again for your contribution,
