v3.0.0

[jamoralp]

This is the 3.0.0 major release for the eProsima Integration Service product suite.

It comprises this repository's release, plus all of the officially available System Handles:

• Fast DDS System Handle 3.0.0 release
• FIWARE System Handle 3.0.0 release
• ROS 1 System Handle 3.0.0 release
• ROS 2 System Handle 3.0.0 release
• WebSocket System Handle 3.0.0 release

Regarding this repository, these are the most important changes, bugfixes and improvements:

• Completed migration from SOSS to Integration Service. This, code wise, included changing the C++ namespace convention of the whole project, from soss::core to eprosima::is::core and from soss::<SH_NAME> to eprosima::is::sh::<SH_NAME>.

• Used eProsima xTypes as the common language for the Core to speak to each System Handle.

• Created unique pool for :code:SubscriptionCallback and :code:RequestCallback lambda functions. Prior to this version, they were being copied multiple among the Core and involved System Handles, leading to unnecessary copies and entities destruction problems.

• Added new Logger class, with different logging levels: DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR.

• Debug logging traces are automatically enabled if the project is compiled in debug mode.

• Add much more traces and unify the logging style.

• Full API reference documentation using Doxygen.

• Migrated whole test suite from Catch to Google Test.

• Applied uncrustify rules.

• Added brand new README section for each repository, with detailed information about the project status and features.

• Added global compilation flags for building tests,
  examples, libraries and the API reference.

• Add an optional YAML configuration file types section,
  with an idl subsection. This allows users to introduce their own data type definitions
  at runtime, following the IDL specification.

• Inclusion of a types-from option in the YAML configuration file,
  to allow type inheritance among System Handles.

• Created a Core GitHub action automated task for unitary and integration tests.

• Skip blank services names.

• JSON conversion library (applies to FIWARE-SH and WebSocket-SH):

  • Handle special double/float values (Inf, NaN...).
  • Boolean type support.
  • Sequences and arrays.

• Moved all example configuration files into a common folder.

• Created utility packages and applications for testing all the examples tutorials available in the documentation.

• Fix non-resizable containers for conversion to/from ROS 1 and ROS 2 static types definitions.
