Changelog for package bebop_driver

• Built against parrot_arsdk 3.10.1
• Use Parrot ARSDK as a thirdparty dependency

• Rename liblibbebop to libbebop
• Full SDK 3.10.x support - ROS API change: states/ARDrone3/.. topics renamed to states/ardrone3/..
• Disabling video stabilization works with Firmware 3.9
• Camera control API fix for SDK 3.10.x
• Refactor H264 decode class to support dynamic picture size - Add support for determining picture size from the stream - Add dynamic buffer re-allocation on picture size change
• Use av_frame_alloc() instead of the depr. avcodec_alloc_frame()
• Fix inconsistent SDK 3.10.1 key values
• Update autogenerated msgs/headers/docs to SDK 3.10.1
• CMake: fix dynamic reconfigure dependency bug

0.5.1

Changelog for package bebop_driver

• Add bebop_description as a build dep to bebop_driver (fixes #45)
• Fix inline build of arsdk to use the frozen manifest (fixes #46)
• Prior to this release, the build script would always compile the development branch of ARSDK. This fix ensures that instead of default.xml manifest file - which represents the dev version of ARSDK package - release.xml is used by repo. This manifest file includes a certain hash for each ARSDK package that enforces a consistent build for ARSDK.
