Revision history [back]

The problem here is that you're advertising one type of message, and calling publish with a different type of message.

This only worked in older versions of ROS because there was a bug in the publisher that didn't check the data type on publish, and I guess you were able to get away with it because the serialized version of your message just happened to be the same as a std_msgs/Float64
