New Pinocchio release

[lvjonok]

Hello Pinocchio Team,

I've been following the recent discussions in issue and noticed mention of an upcoming release—possibly alongside the Simple simulator. I have a few questions regarding contributions at this time.

I have some code I'd like to contribute and I'm wondering if it's better to submit a pull request now or wait until after the new release. Specifically, will there be a review of the current pending pull requests before the release, or should I hold off so that I can more easily update my contribution to align with the latest changes on the devel branch?

Best Regards,
Kozlov Lev

Thanks @lvjonok for your relevant question.

With the Pinocchio's core-dev team, we are making massive change in the core of Pinocchio for making Pinocchio an easy-to-use framework for building physics engine. We add to make several important change, that can conflict with existing open PRs. In this sense, it is reasonable to wait for the next major release (which should happen in the very next month).

In the meantime, you can still open PRs for quick feedback. But we will certainly ask you to rebase it when the new major release is out.

Best,
Justin
