Hello all,

The SVN version of Gazebo has been updated.

Newly added features include:

- Lasers
- Player interfaces for position2d, laser, and camera
- Multiple camera support
   - To switch cameras, use the left and right bracket keys "[" and "]"
- Example world files: laser, pioneer, simpleshape
- Ability to nest models
- Can save frames from a camera to jpg format

To get gazebo:
  svn co https://playerstage.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/playerstage/code/gazebo

To install globally:
  scons install

To install locally:
  scons prefix=/home/<username>/local install

To run:
  gazebo world/simpleshape.world

Camera movement:
  Translate the camera using wasd. The third degree of translation is
handled by 'q' and 'e'. Rotate the camera by left clicking and moving
the mouse. This setup should be similar to FPS games.

Note:
  Cameras are setup to render to a texture. This allows multiple
cameras to update at the same time. This also should fix previous
problems with ATI cards. The one caveat is that older video cards may
not support render to texture.  I can't support every possible video
card, but this approach should allow a broader range of people to use
gazebo. My development system is a year old dell laptop with an ATI
card.

Let me know of any problems, feature requests, etc. There is a TODO
list in the root source directory that generally outlines what I'll be
working on next.
