Ionic is a short term support release, meaning it is a stepping stone between our major release Gazebo Harmonic and the forthcoming Gazebo Jetty release (more on that in second).

If you would like to see Gazebo Ionic in action, we demonstrated many new features at our monthly community meeting last Wednesday (direct video link):

Ionic demo world – Try out the Ionic demo world, which showcases some of the highlights from the Ionic release! This demo world also includes a demo of Nav2 and Open-RMF integration.

New Setup Gazebo Github Action – this is huge! It is now simpler than ever to use Gazebo as part of your continuous integration and deployment pipeline for testing and validation. This Github Action will automatically install Gazebo on your CI instance which can then be used for automated testing.

Gazebo Sphinx documentation – we’ve moved all of our Gazebo documentation to use the Sphinx documentation platform! This migration makes it much easier to write Gazebo docs by allowing docs writers the option preview changes without setting up a local docs environment. Gazebo developers will benefit from Sphinx’s mobile support, light and dark mode, search feature, SEO improvements, and interoperability with the ROS docs. Get a preview here.
