[kfunaoka]

I'd like to add #474 and #475 for more maintainability.

[mitsudome-r]

I'd like to add autowarefoundation/autoware#1817 as Bug Fix

[kfunaoka]

@mitsudome-r It should be! I've added autowarefoundation/autoware#1817 into the headline.

I'd like to add autowarefoundation/autoware#1609. It's too huge and should be well organized. @s-azumi, @mitsudome-r, and me will take care of it.

Since release/1.10.0 is branched from f77b784 commited on Jan. 8th,
I propose the next release schedule is shifted 2 weeks later than before.

The following is an overview of the current state of PRs for new features that are meant to be included in v1.11.

[YamatoAndo]

Adding #225

[gbiggs]

Why?

[hakuturu583]

Sorry for my late...
This is fix commit for ./run script.
#585
I want to add thie PR to the ver 1.11

[isamu-takagi]

Adding autowarefoundation/autoware#2056 to support the latest develop branch and some update.

[ChenxiTU]

Adding autowarefoundation/autoware#2046 to expand functions of rviz plugin - rosbag controller.

[sgermanserrano]

Hi all,
No more new PRs for v1.11 please. There is limited time for appropriate reviews.
I'd also ask contributors for the current PRs that are listed here to assess whether their PRs are truly merge-able or need extra work and should be pushed for next releases.
Thanks!

[kfunaoka]

Hi all and @aohsato @cirpue49 @sgermanserrano @gbiggs Sorry for the delay of releasing v1.11. I'd like to finalize pull request that can be merged to v1.11. Since I guess checking all pull request in this issue takes a long time, I'd like to discuss some of them can be merged or not in this issue, depending on their completion rate. I heard @aohsato and @cirpue49 are working hard to creating tests and documentation of Hybrid A* planner autowarefoundation/autoware#1594 and costmap_generator autowarefoundation/autoware#1774 for v1.11.

@aohsato @cirpue49 Would you approximate when these pull request can be ready to merge?

[k0suke-murakami]

Thank you for your consideration.
I already wrote tests for autowarefoundation/autoware#1774. Waiting for @sgermanserrano comment.
Not sure when will be merged. Guess 1~2 days.

[kfunaoka]

I heard some packages that depend on executing shell scripts such as autowarefoundation/autoware#2109 do not work fine because its execute permission is removed at copying files to install directory.

@hakuturu583 Does LGSVL simulator require the fix similar to autowarefoundation/autoware#2109?

[aohsato]

@kfunaoka @sgermanserrano
Thanks for your discussion about releasing. In autowarefoundation/autoware#1594, I merged @sgermanserrano 's test code by autowarefoundation/autoware#1753 and added some fix to solve some test problems, so the library level unit test was completed.
Next, I tried to some test to nodes (10f93e3) but it's difficult to write without our standard code because there are mainly depended on pub/sub/tf system and complex perception results.
If possible, I want to make continuous changes based on the test code policy of v.1.12 or later.

[kfunaoka]

@aohsato We're now focusing on unit tests within not ROS level but library level. We can go forward to ROS level test and integration test after v1.11 or later. Once the CI in autowarefoundation/autoware#1594 is passed, would you declare that autowarefoundation/autoware#1594 was tested on real car, and then merge into develop?

[aohsato]

@kfunaoka I already tested on our real car, so I additionally comment to PR. CI seems to be passed, so I'll merge. Thanks much!

[kfunaoka]

@aohsato Fantastic! Autoware is no longer a static waypoint follower.

[kfunaoka]

Hi all,

It seems we can finalize pull request that can be merged to v1.11.

I've created release/1.11.0 branch.
https://github.com/CPFL/Autoware/tree/release/1.11.0

If anyone find something for v1.11.0, please create pull requests to release/1.11.0.

[isamu-takagi]

@kfunaoka @hakuturu583 @yukkysaito
Autoware Launcher in develop branch does not work with colcon.
Please review and merge the latest branch autowarefoundation/autoware#2056.

[isamu-takagi]

@kfunaoka
Sorry for very late. Autoware Launcher is merged.

[sgermanserrano]

@kfunaoka Fresh images with the latest update to release/1.11.0 have been added to https://hub.docker.com/r/autoware/autoware/
