We are very excited to announce that MoveIt 2 Jazzy is finally here. The newest LTS release Jazzy 2.10 will take Humble’s place as the recommended MoveIt version. It can be installed using the ROS Debian binaries on Ubuntu Noble 24.04, or through a Linux source build. The same version has also been released for Rolling Ridley.
New features in the Jazzy LTS release compared to Humble include (ordered randomly):
- A refactored version of MoveIt Servo
- MoveIt Python bindings
- Multi-dof trajectory execution support
- Refactored planning pipeline
- Improved logging (rosout, namespaces) and ROS parameter API
- Improved Cartesian Interpolator
- A new implementation of the STOMP motion planner
- Support for parallel planning pipelines
- Several improvements to trajectory processing (TOTG, Ruckig, butterworth filtering)
- Refactored planning pipeline API to better represent request and response adapters
The full changelogs are provided in the changelogs files in the MoveIt 2 repository, breaking changes are documented in the migration guide. We are still working on fixing and updating the tutorials to reflect the latest changes.
Jazzy development continues on the MoveIt main branch for the upcoming weeks. Once we are sure the MoveIt API can remain stable, we will branch off Jazzy to a stable branch for future releases, just like we did for past distributions. In the meantime, we will maintain source build support for Jazzy on the MoveIt main branch while Humble and Iron support are being phased out. The corresponding stable branches are not affected by this.
