1.1 is released as a "latest" release. It's the development version for 1.2 which will be officially stable in C-turtle (scheduled, I believe, for July). You can start to use 1.1 if you'd like, so long as you're willing to live with a bit of instability. Since visualization 1.1 depends on a number of other "latest" stacks, you'll probably want a full latest install. Follow the instructions on <a href="http://www.ros.org/wiki/ROS/Installation/Ubuntu/SVN">http://www.ros.org/wiki/ROS/Installation/Ubuntu/SVN</a>, but substitute "latest" for "boxturtle"<br>

OK, my bad, I thought that 1.1 was the current version.<br>
<br>
Is there an approximative date for the 1.1 release ? Because I am in a 3<br>
months internship and the main part of this internship is about<br>
displaying dynamically informations around the robot model, and the two<br>
rviz improvements you mentioned (TEXT_VIEW_FACING and MESH_RESOURCE) are<br>
THE solution to do it right.<br>
<br>
Thanks for your time,<br>
<br>
