v2.8.x

Changelog

• Updated API for compatibility with 2.8 release.
• Moved parameters from launch files to YAML files. This makes them clearer and unifies parameters between different launch files.
• Changed default prefix of the topics adding node name: /<namespace>/<node_name>/<topic> (default /zed/zed_node/<topic>)
• Added minimum depth parameter (min_depth).
• Added base_link to the TF tree to improve user experience when adding ZED cameras to a standard ROS robot configuration. Pose and Odometry are now referred to base_link instead of zed_camera_center.
• Added a separated launch file for ZED Mini (zedm.launch and display_zedm.launch).
• Added a service to set the ON/OFF status of the blue LED (firmware > 1523).
• Added a service to toggle the status of the blue led (firmware > 1523).
• Added a parameter to choose the default SVO compression mode for SVO recording.
• Added 2D mode for stable navigation on planar surfaces.
• Added option to set a fixed pose/odometry covariance or use the dynamic matrices calculated by the SDK.
• Added SVO recording services.
• Added zero-copy to Pointcloud publishing (thanks @RhysMcK).
• Added dynamic parameter to change the frequency of point cloud publishing. Now the point cloud can have a frequency different from the grab frequency (always less than or equal to the grab frequency).
• Added services to start/stop network streaming, which allows remote machines to acquire and process images using a ROS node or a "not ROS" application.
• Added stereo side-by-side image topic for raw and rectified images.
• Removed initial warning about TF not being available.
• Improved console logging for a better vision of the node configuration.
• Fixed additional minor issues.
