🏁 Ignition Dome officially end-of-life

Hi, community! :fire:

On December 2021, Ignition Dome reached its official end-of-life. Dome was Ignition’s fourth major release and was supported for a bit over a year. Notably, it was the version used during the Subterranean Challenge’s finals.

Dome introduced rendering features such as particle effects and efficient skeleton animations, GUI widgets like plotting and lidar visualization, and new sensors like the optical tactile sensor. It’s also the first version supporting web visualization, parametrized SDF models, and the Bullet physics engine. See the entire list of features on the Release Features page.

With Dome, the major versions of several Ignition libraries are also reaching end-of-life. Their latest released binaries will remain available at http://packages.osrfoundation.org/, but no more fixes or releases will be made.

Library major version Final release
Ignition Fuel Tools 5 5.2.0
Ignition Gazebo 4 4.14.0
Ignition GUI 4 4.6.0
Ignition Launch 3 3.4.2
Ignition Messages 6 6.6.1
Ignition Physics 3 3.4.1
Ignition Rendering 4 4.9.1
Ignition Sensors 4 4.3.0
Ignition Transport 9 9.1.2
libSDFormat 10 10.7.0
Ignition Dome 1.0.1

Ignition Dome used to be the default version to use with ROS Melodic on ros_ign; now the default version for Melodic is Fortress, and Citadel is also supported. There are no plans to release new ros-melodic-ros-ign binaries.

We recommend all Dome users migrate to a supported release as soon as possible, such as Fortress, which is the latest long-term-support release. Be sure to check each library’s migration guide.

Thanks to all contributors to all libraries in Dome! :crystal_ball:
