Currently Melodic has [no regressions](http://repositories.ros.org/status_page/ros_melodic_default.html?q=REGRESSION) and [140 packages](http://repositories.ros.org/status_page/ros_melodic_default.html?q=SYNC) ready to sync. I plan to hold new releases for Melodic starting today, September 6, with a sync next week.

Please reply here if there are any outstanding issues I should know about before performing the sync.

I’m not sure when you are planning for the next Melodic sync. There might be a potential regression in rviz ([RobotModelDisplay: Poll robot\_description at 1Hz until found · ros-visualization/rviz@d171d82 · GitHub](https://github.com/ros-visualization/rviz/commit/d171d823965e456c6fec2286d6fa10541c84f1bb#commitcomment-35201848)). Please hold back the next sync until this is resolved.

Thanks for the heads up. There are a couple of other regressions for Melodic as well. I’ll start holding the sync tomorrow (I’ll send a separate notification about it), but I’ll allow updates to fix the regressions including this one.
