Question: Will functionality presented at ROSCon 2018 be available for the ROS1 version of nav_core2? #11

Hello @DLu and thank you for the interesting talk at ROSCon 2018.

For me it remains unclear whether all (or some) of the functionality that you presented will be available in the ROS1 version of the package or will it only be for the reimplementation of the navigation stack for ROS2 / https://github.com/ros-planning/navigation2.

Furthermore, even if the functionality won't be implemented in this version of the package, can we assume that the interfaces will stay the same so that we will be able to e.g. reuse DWB critics in the future when/if navigation2 ends up in the December release of ROS2.

Sorry for asking a generic question on the issue page, but I imagine that a lot of people will visit this github link after watching your talk, and the information is not available anywhere.

Thank you!

Hi @kajep09 I meant to explicitly say at the end of my talk. While we intend to have ROS2 versions of things around by the end of the year, the ROS1 versions will be updated...shortly. We're currently finishing the internal review of some of the final components, but I'm going to start pushing out pieces soon.

The interfaces have changed a bit since the original version I pushed last year, and I'll be sure to document what changes as I go along. I'll keep this open until things are fully posted.
