Hi Gazebo Community!

This week’s meeting was held on 2025-08-18T18:00:00Z and the following is a summary:

  • Progress updates:

    • Buildfarm: We’re looking into a couple of failing tests on the buildfarm: one related to ApplyLinkWrenchTestFixture on main and another on macOS related to resolving SDF world files, which might be a caching issue.
    • Jetty Release: All forward ports for the Jetty release are complete! This led to a good discussion about our branching strategy. Going forward, we’re encouraging everyone to target the latest branch (i.e., main) for new pull requests. We think this, potentially with some automation help from mergifyio, will make our release process smoother.
    • Transport: The zenoh_main branch has been merged! Other updates include implementing ROS liveliness token conventions and a few fixes for Windows and protobuf string conversions.
    • Sim & Physics: Several PRs are up for review or have been merged, including a new lookup wheelslip plugin, fixes for 16-bit color images, and updates to the bullet-featherstone kinematics.

  • New agenda items:

    • Jetty Code Freeze: Heads up! The code freeze for the Jetty release is next Monday, 2025-08-25T00:00:00Z. We’ll be creating stable branches and pre-releases soon.
