New packages for Ardent 2018-02-09

Happy Friday. The ROS 2 team is pleased to present the first update to ROS 2 Ardent Apalone.

Highlights in this release:

  • rviz2 for Windows
  • Release of the ros_environment package which provides the environment variables specified in REP149
  • Bug fixes in the included version of Fast-RTPS
  • Fix for include path order in rosidl ros2/rosidl#261

To celebrate, we present the official release illustration for ROS 2 Ardent Apalone

Which you can get printed on a shirt or jacket during our t-shirt campaign (use this link for the EU distribution center). The campaign will end March 2nd.

As always, we invite you to try out the new software, give feedback, report bugs, and suggest features (and contribute code!): https://github.com/ros2/ros2/wiki/Contact

So pull down an archive release, grab the packages from the Ubuntu repos, or build it from source and let us know what you think.

Your friendly neighborhood ROS 2 Team
