On rare occasions critical pull requests may be merged, but no new development is currently taking place, including issue response.

The ROS fork of Cartographer is only maintained in a limited capacity.
No new development takes place on this fork, but pull requests may be merged at the maintainers' discretion.

The ROS fork of Cartographer, and the ROS wrapper library, can be found at these locations:
