0.5.0 (2012-03-13)

In Fuerte, key packages in openni_kinect have been broken off as unary stacks:

• openni_camera

• openni_launch

• openni_tracker

This reorganization allows more fine-grained use of OpenNI capabilities in ROS. Small systems can run the minimal OpenNI driver without installing OpenCV and PCL, as can users who only need skeleton tracking.

The old monolithic OpenNI ROS driver has been separated into openni_camera_deprecated. See the wiki docs for migration instructions.

Finally, depth_image_proc has been promoted to the image_pipeline stack in hopes that it will be useful with other depth cameras.
