Release v2.2.0

[lrapetti]

The last release was done almost one year ago with the v2.1.0 tag, and since then new features have been released. I think it's time to release it.

Indeed we should proceed:

• merging devel into master
• creating the new release

I think also we might align with the rest of robotology removing the devel branch, keeping the released tags as stable code pointers, and using master as development branch.

@lrapetti I agree with it.

I hoped to had test/devel-rebase tested before making a new release, as this would have enabled to pull in the changes from #181 to upstream.

However, at this point it is cleaner have a release from merging devel to master.

Good call. This will make things aligned with how wearable is maintained too.

Before the release, may be checking the config yarp manager files for iCub visualization through #230 can be useful to have tested and committed to upstream for the next iteration of tests for retargeting.

@lrapetti merged devel into master branch d6fdd7a

The main problem there is that it depends on a branch of iDynTree (robotology/idyntree#783), so for the time being that branch can not be merged to a stable release.

The failure has now been fixed (#232), @Yeshasvitvs we can create the new release, what do you think?

[yeshasvitirupachuri]

@lrapetti following #235 #234 #233
do you foresee any further small changes that are to be done before a release ?

No, I am not planning any change, for me we can proceed with the release.

[yeshasvitirupachuri]

@lrapetti and I did the new release https://github.com/robotology/human-dynamics-estimation/releases/tag/v2.2.0

Expecting an automatic update of robotology-superbuild, similar to robotology/robotology-superbuild#607

@lrapetti We can open a separate issue for this task, and also align https://github.com/robotology/wearables with release tag branches

Just to clarify, not using devel is a strategy that make sense and I think it make sense to use for you, but it is not used by all robotology projects. At the moment is used by YARP and YCM, but not (for example) by icub-main . At the moment the master branch of this repo is still the default branch used by anyone that downloads the robotology-superbuild and compiles it with the default settings with ROBOTOLOGY_ENABLE_HUMAN_DYNAMICS , that is ROBOTOLOGY_PROJECT_TAGS set to Stable. In the future we may change this default to use the latest-releases.yaml file introduced in robotology/robotology-superbuild#596 , but probably we will need to discuss about it before doing so.

Cross linking the comment from @traversaro #233 (comment).

In brief this release is currently not aligned with the stable branch of iDynTree if Irrlicht is enabled. For the same reason, the CI is currenty pointing to the iDynTree devel branch (https://github.com/robotology/human-dynamics-estimation/blob/master/.github/workflows/ci.yml#L19), this will change as iDynTree will be relased (robotology/idyntree#804).

FYI that scripts runs every sunday night (see https://github.com/robotology/robotology-superbuild/blob/8f415ed824730de37d886806e1db58d88117a6be/.github/workflows/update-latest-releases.yml#L9), so if you want to bump the release before manually feel free to do so.
