Description

Ubuntu Focal contains a much updated version 1.12.4 of OGRE which can be used by installing/depending on `libogre-1.12-dev` instead of `libogre-1.9-dev`. Updating the rosdeps was rejected/postponed because ign-rendering was already released and build against libogre-1.9. See here for the discussion https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/pull/24448

Is there anything I can do to help with a new release? I would like to avoid being stuck on ogre-1.9 from 2013 due to compatibility reasons once ROS Noetic is released ...

Research direction

Start by reviewing the rosdep discussion linked in the issue and the current release and dependency configuration for ign-rendering. Confirm how the Focal release should depend on libogre-1.12-dev rather than libogre-1.9-dev, then verify that the updated package builds against OGRE 1.12.4 and is ready for a new release.
