robotology-superbuild 2022.05.0

[2022.05.0] - 2022-05-31

Added

• Added the robot-log-visualizer package and its dependencies to the robotology-superbuild, if the option ROBOTOLOGY_USES_PYTHON and ROBOTOLOGY_ENABLE_DYNAMICS_FULL_DEPS are enabled. As robot-log-visualizer is a pure Python package, the PR also adds a rob_sup_pure_python_ycm_ep_helper CMake helper function to simply the process or writing Build<package>.cmake scripts for pure Python packages (#1069).
• Added OpenXR and OpenVR related projects if the ROBOTOLOGY_ENABLE_TELEOPERATION option is enabled (#1113).

robotology-superbuild 2022.02.1

[2022.02.1] - 2022-04-01

Fixed

• Fix compatibility with CMake 3.23 by bumping YCM version to 0.13.1 .

• Added dependency on graphviz to compile yarpviz YARP tool (#988).
• Added generation of robotology-distro and robotology-distro-all conda metapackages on releases (#1030).

Changed

• On Windows the option ROBOTOLOGY_USES_ESDCAN is now enabled when generating conda packages (#935).
• For the YARP package, the compilation of the usbCamera device on Linux is enabled even if ROBOTOLOGY_ENABLE_ICUB_HEAD is OFF (#989).
• walking-controllers now depends on bipedal-locomotion-framework, so it is now compiled if ROBOTOLOGY_ENABLE_DYNAMICS_FULL_DEPS option is enabled (#1013).
• The ROBOTOLOGY_USES_GAZEBO is now unsupported on macOS with Homebrew dependencies (#1028).

Added

• Add nlohmann-json dependency to the superbuild (#776).
• In YARP, all the fake*** YARP devices are now enabled (#797).

• An apt.txt file and a scripts/install_apt_dependencies.sh script have been added to the superbuild to report the required apt packages in a machine readable form. People that mantain either Docker recipes or documentation on how to instal the robotology-superbuild are suggest to switch to use these files instead of hardcoding the dependencies manually (#825).
