ROS 2 Iron Irwini Released!

image

The Open-RMF team is happy to announce support for Iron Irwini :robot: :elevator: :door: :iron:

The release comes with several bug fixes and it’s easier than ever to get started with Open-RMF as all core packages can now be installed with a single command sudo apt install ros-iron-rmf-dev (remember to do an apt update prior).

As part of the release, significant effort went into aligning Open-RMF’s versioning and release practices with those in ROS 2. An outcome of this is the ability to do more frequent releases across rolling :rolling_head: , iron :irwini: and humble :hawksbill: . Moving forward, the team will aim to make patch releases of Open-RMF packages roughly monthly :tada:
We’ll also be doing source releases eg. release-iron-230608 but binary installation is now the recommended default :smile:

Check out our updated documentation for more details on installation, running demonstrations and changes to development & release process.

We’d love to see more contributions towards development and documentation from the community! Checkout our Project board for tickets.
