Version 4.2.1 is a patch that fixes a missing version update in the aica-package.toml and a missing action in the build-release workflow.
- ci: create git tag on release (#109)
Version 4.2.0 features a new package modulo_controllers that extends the controller interface from ROS 2 control with
concepts and capabilities known from modulo_components. These classes can and should be used to write derived
ROS 2 controller plugins within the AICA robotics framework. Additionally, this version introduces the package builder
that replaces the Dockerfile to improve clarity, maintenance and standardization of the build system.

Version 4.1.0 is a minor update which adds support for Analog and Digital IO States from control librareis and contains
a few quality of life improvements. Additionally, it comes with a new package called modulo_interfaces which is a more
general version of modulo_component_interfaces and will replace the latter upon the next major release.
- chore: fix links in readme (#68)
- feat: add warn log when topics are sanitized (#66)
- feat: add modulo interface package (#73)
- feat: support io states in modulo core (#70)
- control-libraries: 7.1.0 -> 7.4.0 (#76)
Version 4.0.0 is a major update to modulo with a new non-templated component interface.
The component interface now uses node interfaces - a new feature in ROS2 Iron - instead of templated inheritance from
nodes to interface with ROS. Due to that change in the components inheritance, C++ components built with modulo 3.x.x
and below will not be compatible with modulo 4.0.0 and will need to be recompiled. Note that this only concerns the
modulo_components package and that there is no need to change anything in the code, recompiling derived components
will be sufficient.
- chore: remove unnecessary tests (#63)
- Remove callback group for topics and services (#61)
- Avoid conflict with get_parameter (#42)
- Revise ComponentInterface by moving implementations to source file (#39)
- Update component classes to inherit from new ComponentInterface (#38)
- Refactor ComponentInterface to use node interfaces (#33)
Version 3.2.0 is a minor update to modulo with a new feature that allows the component period parameter to be set through a new parameter called 'rate'. In the future, the period parameter will be deprecated.
Additionally, this is the last release with the current release strategy of creating release branches from develop and merging them to main. From now on, branches will be directly created from main and merged back to main. If there is a version update in such a PR, the CI will automatically create a new tag and push a tagged image.
- feat: add rate parameter to component interface (#57)
- build: prepare workflows for deletion of develop branch (#58)
Version 3.1.0 is a minor update to modulo with a new feature in the components and it marks the first official version
that uses iron as its ROS2 distribution.
- Add the on_step_callback for components (#51)
- Revise test stage to fail on test errors (#48)
- Unify dockerfiles and add vs code configuration (#50)
- Use iron as ros2 distro (#53)
- Change test workflow to docker build (#55)
Version 3.0.0 is a major update to modulo with a breaking change in the way predicates are handled. Instead of
individual topics per predicate, predicates are now published to a global /predicates topic.
- Refactor component predicates with a single Predicate publisher (#26)
Version 2.3.0 is a minor update to modulo that improves test coverage and adds a feature to publish outputs manually. It also contains behind-the-scenes structural improvements to the build system and the CI.
- feat(ci): add prebuilt modulo image akin to other internal ones (#36)
- Add and install component descriptions (#31)
- Apply AICA C++ style guide (#30)
- Add option to publish outputs manually instead of periodically (#23)
- Add unittests for modulo component service calls and triggers (#20)
- Extend testutils with C++ classes (#19)
Version 2.2.0 is an update to support the latest release of aica-technology/control-libraries version 7.0. This release contains no breaking changes to the modulo API and includes a few additional features and improvements.
Since rclpy.lifecycle was introduced in ROS2 humble, the LifecycleNode is now used as base class for the
modulo_components.LifecycleComponent.
The 'lookup_transform' method has been overloaded with another signature that allows to specify the validity period for the requested transform.
There is a new package modulo_utils that contains fixtures for creating tests for modulo components.
state_representation states will not be published unless they are not empty, i.e. contain data and information that
are worth transmitting.
A contributor license agreement and signature workflow have been added to protect and encourage open source development.
The majority of changes were required to fix modulo_core after breaking changes on the develop branch of
control libraries. In addition, there were some improvements in the CI actions and workflows.
- Do not publish empty states (epfl-lasa#129)
- Fix test actions and workflows (epfl-lasa#147, epfl-lasa#148)
- Use rclpy lifecycle node as base class for lifecycle components (epfl-lasa#134, epfl-lasa#140, epfl-lasa#146)
- Fix creation of triggers and improve tests (epfl-lasa#149)
- Change order of execution in step callback (epfl-lasa#150)
- Transfer repository ownership to AICA (#1)
- Add lookup transform variant with validity period (#2)
- Update tests after removal of SpatialState constructor (#3)
- Remove build-push workflow (#4)
- Fixes to account for breaking changes in control libraries (#6)

- Fix include of clproto header (#9)
- Add modulo_utils package for shared test fixtures (#11)

- Require CLA signatures with PR workflow (#14)
- Update control libraries version to 7.0.0 (#15)
Version 2.1.1 is a patch release to update the license of the Modulo project from MIT to GPLv3. A core dependency of modulo is control libraries, making it a combined work. To be compliant with the GLPv3 license of control libraries, modulo must also be licensed under GPLv3.
- Change license to GPLv3 (epfl-lasa#143)
Version 2.1.0 is the most recent release of modulo authored by AICA employees under EPFL employment and granted to AICA SA under a non-exclusive license agreement. All subsequent contributions have been made solely by AICA employees and are the property of AICA SA. For a full history of changes prior to version 2.1, refer to the original project here:
