Noetic release here: https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/pull/31149. Noetic version numbers are now `1.9.x` to distinguish them from kinetic versions which are `1.8.x`

I lean towards not supporting pointcloud1, unless there is a strong need. Lets see how many people complain :-)

Good point. I went ahead and updated the python code to use ros2: https://github.com/ros-perception/laser_geometry/pull/80

Which branch of this repo are you using? What ros distro are you on?

I'm not sure what's going on there.... I'm on foxy/galactic/rolling on 20.04, and I'm not seeing this. If I have time I'll try and look a bit deeper, but it's...

I've not seen this but I'm usually on melodic now. `-11` means a segmentation fault - maybe there was a change in the `filters` ABI? Could you try running `sudo...

What version of ros are you on? What are you launching (text of config files would be useful). Are you using this package from source or from debs?

Sounds like `laser_filters/PointCloudFootprintFilter` was never updated to use the PointCloud2 message type. Shouldn't be too hard to fix; any chance you could submit another PR for this? :-)

Actually it looks like that filter is deprecated. Can you use "footprint filter" instead? https://github.com/ros-perception/laser_filters/blob/indigo-devel/include/laser_filters/footprint_filter.h It operates directly on laser scans.
