Rovant 0.2.0 — Public Beta

Rovant 0.2.0 — public beta

A ROS 2 development environment for Windows and Linux.

Works today

• ROS 2 Humble detection via WSL2 (Windows) or native (Linux)
• Python, C/C++ and CMake syntax highlighting
• Run Current File in Terminal (Python, and C/C++ compiled + run in one step)
• ROS 2 panels: URDF preview, ROS Topics, toolchain setup
• Project templates and colcon build tasks

Not yet

• IntelliSense and go-to-definition
• Debugging (removed in 0.1.1 — it failed with a timeout)
• Code signing — Windows will show a SmartScreen warning; click More info → Run anyway

Requires Windows 10/11 x64, or Ubuntu 22.04 x64. ROS 2 features need WSL2 with Ubuntu 22.04 and ROS 2 Humble installed.

Licensed Apache 2.0. Built on Eclipse Theia. Extensions from Open VSX.
