ros-iron-rclpy-message-converter (2.0.0-3jammy) jammy; urgency=high

  * Initial release into ROS2
  * Convert repo to ROS2
  * Rename binary_array_as_bytes to base64_encoding
  * Switch to Apache 2.0 license
    This is necessary because the new ROS2 code contains code that was
    copied and modified from rosidl_runtime_py, which is licensed under
    Apache 2.0. Switching from BSD to Apache 2.0 should be okay, because
    Apache 2.0 is the more restrictive license.
  * Remove support for checking types
    In ROS2, it is no longer possible to set the data field of ROS numeric
    types (Float32, Float64, int, ...) to numpy types, because the setter
    checks that it's a python primitive type.
  * Remove support for time 'now'
    Implementing this properly requires a node handle and is out of scope
    for this library.
  * Remove python2 support
  * Tests: Change Uint8Array3TestMessage from bytes to list
    Creating from a bytes type is not supported in ROS2.
  * Tests: Switch assertEqual order of arguments
    Expected is first, actual second (this way, the log output on failing
    tests is correct).
  * Tests: Remove test_dictionary_with_invalid_message_fields
    This is the same as test_dictionary_with_empty_additional_args_strict_mode, so it can be safely removed.
  * Tests: Add workaround for typename
    The field _type does not exist in ROS2 any more.
  * Tests: Add test_dictionary_with_implicit_conversion
    The new version (based on set_message_fields) implicitly converts
    strings to bool.
  * Tests: Change expected exceptions
    This makes the exceptions thrown by rclpy_message_converter the same as
    rosidl_runtime_py.set_message.set_message_fields().
    Also change test_dictionary_with_wrong_type to use floats, because
    bool('should_be_a_bool') == True (doesn't throw an error).

ros-iron-rclpy-message-converter (0.5.6-3jammy) jammy; urgency=high

  * Propagate strict_mode, check_missing_fields in _convert_to_ros_type
    Previously, _convert_to_ros_type dropped strict_mode and
    check_missing_fields in nested messages.
  * Add NestedUint8ArrayTestService tests
  * propagate check_types in _convert_to_ros_type (#51 <https://github.com/uos/rospy_message_converter/issues/51>)
    Co-authored-by: Martin Günther <mailto:martin.guenther@dfki.de>
  * Fix base64_encoding=False with nested msgs
  * Add param base64_encoding
    Closes #45 <https://github.com/uos/rospy_message_converter/issues/45>.

ros-iron-rclpy-message-converter (0.5.5-3jammy) jammy; urgency=high

  * Decode strings from ROS messages as UTF8
    This makes the python2 behavior equal to python3.
  * python3 only: Validate base64 strings
  * Add bytes to python3 string types
    This means that bytes will now also be base64-decoded, which fixes the following tests on python3:
    * test_dictionary_with_uint8_array_bytes
    * test_dictionary_with_uint8_array_bytes_unencoded
    * test_dictionary_with_3uint8_array_bytes
    On python2, bytes is just an alias for str, which is why it worked
    without this.
  * Fix and add tests

ros-iron-rclpy-message-converter (0.5.3-3jammy) jammy; urgency=high

  * Add check_types parameter to convert_dictionary_to_ros_message (#42 <https://github.com/uos/rospy_message_converter/issues/42>)
  * Allow numpy numeric types in numeric fields  (#41 <https://github.com/uos/rospy_message_converter/issues/41>)
    Fixes #39 <https://github.com/uos/rospy_message_converter/issues/39>.
  * perf: Remove remaining regexes
    This is only a small speedup of about 1.03x.
  * perf: Avoid regex in _is_field_type_a_primitive_array
    This makes the function almost 3x faster.
  * perf: Reorder type checks
    Perform the cheaper checks first. This results in a speedup of about
    1.2x.
  * perf: Avoid regex in is_ros_binary_type
    This makes is_ros_binary_type almost 5x faster and as a result the whole
    convert_ros_message_to_dictionary function almost 2x faster.
  * Compare types, not type names; improve error message
    Old error message:
    TypeError: Wrong type: '1.0' must be float64
    New error message:
    TypeError: Field 'x' has wrong type <type 'numpy.float64'> (valid types: [<type 'int'>, <type 'float'>])
  * Remove unused python_to_ros_type_map
  * added test for convert_dictionary_to_ros_message with int8 array
  * python 3 fix for _convert_to_ros_binary
