3.1.0

This is a minor release that addresses several bugs/robustness issues in 3.0.0.

It additionally adds a few new features, such as (limited) world resetting from the GUI, constantly draining battery during navigation, and looking up hallways with bidirectional names (e.g., hall_roomA_roomB and hall_roomB_roomA)

Full Changelog: 3.0.0...3.1.0

3.0.0

This is a major release containing several features for the ROSCon 2024 workshop: "Hands-on with ROS 2 Deliberation Technologies"

Major features include:

• Ability to open/close hallways and storage locations.
• Simulating local, per-robot, object observability and detection actions.
• Simulating action delays, success probability, and battery depletion/charging.
• Improvements to navigation, including path canceling, runtime collision detection, planner resets, and simplified code.
• All high-level actions and task plans can now be canceled and return execution status, in both the core API and ROS interface.
• Improved ROS interface with additional features, as well as integration tests and ability to build the entire repo with colcon.
