+28.3.3 (2024-07-29)
+-------------------
+* Only compile the tests once. (`#2590 <https://github.com/ros2/rclcpp/issues/2590>`_)
+* Contributors: Chris Lalancette
 
-9.0.3 (2021-05-10)
-------------------
-* Use OnShutdown callback handle instead of OnShutdown callback (`#1639 <https://github.com/ros2/rclcpp/issues/1639>`_) (`#1650 <https://github.com/ros2/rclcpp/issues/1650>`_)
-* use dynamic_pointer_cast to detect allocator mismatch in intra process manager (`#1643 <https://github.com/ros2/rclcpp/issues/1643>`_) (`#1644 <https://github.com/ros2/rclcpp/issues/1644>`_)
+28.3.2 (2024-07-24)
+-------------------
+* Updated rcpputils path API (`#2579 <https://github.com/ros2/rclcpp/issues/2579>`_)
+* Make the subscriber_triggered_to_receive_message test more reliable. (`#2584 <https://github.com/ros2/rclcpp/issues/2584>`_)
+  * Make the subscriber_triggered_to_receive_message test more reliable.
+  In the current code, inside of the timer we create the subscription
+  and the publisher, publish immediately, and expect the subscription
+  to get it immediately.  But it may be the case that discovery
+  hasn't even happened between the publisher and the subscription
+  by the time the publish call happens.
+  To make this more reliable, create the subscription and publish *before*
+  we ever create and spin on the timer.  This at least gives 100
+  milliseconds for discovery to happen.  That may not be quite enough
+  to make this reliable on all platforms, but in my local testing this
+  helps a lot.  Prior to this change I can make this fail one out of 10
+  times, and after the change I've run 100 times with no failures.
+* Have the EventsExecutor use more common code  (`#2570 <https://github.com/ros2/rclcpp/issues/2570>`_)
+  * move notify waitable setup to its own function
+  * move mutex lock to retrieve_entity utility
+  * use entities_need_rebuild\_ atomic bool in events-executors
+  * remove duplicated set_on_ready_callback for notify_waitable
+  * use mutex from base class rather than a new recursive mutex
+  * use current_collection\_ member in events-executor
+  * delay adding notify waitable to collection
+  * postpone clearing the current collection
+  * commonize notify waitable and collection
+  * commonize add/remove node/cbg methods
+  * fix linter errors
+  ---------
+* Removed deprecated methods and classes (`#2575 <https://github.com/ros2/rclcpp/issues/2575>`_)
+* Release ownership of entities after spinning cancelled (`#2556 <https://github.com/ros2/rclcpp/issues/2556>`_)
+  * Release ownership of entities after spinning cancelled
+  * Move release action to every exit point in different spin functions
+  * Move wait_result\_.reset() before setting spinning to false
+  * Update test code
+  * Move test code to test_executors.cpp
+  ---------
+* Split test_executors.cpp even further. (`#2572 <https://github.com/ros2/rclcpp/issues/2572>`_)
+  That's because it is too large for Windows Debug to compile,
+  so split into smaller bits.
+  Even with this split, the file is too big; that's likely
+  because we are using TYPED_TEST here, which generates multiple
+  symbols per test case.  To deal with this, without further
+  breaking up the file, also add in the /bigobj flag when
+  compiling on Windows Debug.
+* avoid adding notify waitable twice to events-executor collection (`#2564 <https://github.com/ros2/rclcpp/issues/2564>`_)
+  * avoid adding notify waitable twice to events-executor entities collection
+  * remove redundant mutex lock

+  * Fix callback group logic in executor
+  * fix: Fixed unnecessary copy of wait_set
+  * fix(executor): Fixed race conditions with rebuild of wait_sets
+  Before this change, the rebuild of wait set would be triggered
+  after the wait set was waken up. With bad timing, this could
+  lead to the rebuild not happening with multi threaded executor.
+  * fix(Executor): Fixed lost of entities rebuild request
+  * chore: Added assert for not set callback_group in execute_any_executable
+  * Add test for cbg getting reset
+  Co-authored-by: Janosch Machowinski <j.machowinski@nospam.org>

+* Fix uninitialized memory in test (`#2498 <https://github.com/ros2/rclcpp/issues/2498>`_)
+  When I added in the tests for large messages, I made a mistake and reserved space in the strings, but didn't actually expand it.  Thus, we were writing into uninitialized memory.  Fix this by just using the correct constructor for string, which will allocate and initialize the memory properly.
+* Ensure waitables handle guard condition retriggering (`#2483 <https://github.com/ros2/rclcpp/issues/2483>`_)

+* fix flakiness in TestTimersManager unit-test (`#2468 <https://github.com/ros2/rclcpp/issues/2468>`_)
+  the previous version of the test was relying on the assumption that a timer with 1ms period gets called at least 6 times if the main thread waits 15ms. this is true most of the times, but it's not guaranteed, especially when running the test on windows CI servers. the new version of the test makes no assumptions on how much time it takes for the timers manager to invoke the timers, but rather focuses on ensuring that they are called the right amount of times, which is what's important for the purpose of the test

+
+12.0.0 (2021-07-26)
+-------------------
+* Remove unsafe get_callback_groups API.
+  Callers should change to using for_each_callback_group(), or
+  store the callback groups they need internally.
+* Add in callback_groups_for_each.
+  The main reason to add this method in is to make accesses to the
+  callback_groups\_ vector thread-safe.  By having a
+  callback_groups_for_each that accepts a std::function, we can
+  just have the callers give us the callback they are interested
+  in, and we can take care of the locking.
+  The rest of this fairly large PR is cleaning up all of the places
+  that use get_callback_groups() to instead use
+  callback_groups_for_each().
+* Use a different mechanism to avoid timers being scheduled multiple times by the MultiThreadedExecutor (`#1692 <https://github.com/ros2/rclcpp/issues/1692>`_)
+* Fix windows CI (`#1726 <https://github.com/ros2/rclcpp/issues/1726>`_)

+# Proposed node parameters callback Design
+
+## Introduction:
+
+The original requirement came in **gazebo_ros_pkgs** for setting individual wheel slip parameters based on global wheel slip value [link to original issue](https://github.com/ros-simulation/gazebo_ros_pkgs/pull/1365). 
+
+The main requirement is to set one or more parameters after another parameter is set successfully. 
+
+Additionally, it would be nice if users could be notified locally (via a callback) when parameters have been set successfully (i.e. post validation).
+
+Related discussion can be found in [#609](https://github.com/ros2/rclcpp/issues/609) [#1789](https://github.com/ros2/rclcpp/pull/1789)
+
+With the current parameters API, the `add_on_set_parameters_callback` is intended for validation of parameter values before they are set, it should **not** cause any side-effects. 
+
+There is also the `ParameterEventHandler` that publishes changes to node parameters on `/parameter_events` topic for external nodes to see. Though the node could subscribe to the `/parameter_events` topic to be notified of changes to its own parameters, it is less than ideal since there is a delay caused by waiting for an executor to process the callback.
+
+We propose adding a `PostSetParametersCallbackHandle` for successful parameter set similar to `OnSetParametersCallbackHandle` for parameter validation. Also, we propose adding a `PreSetParametersCallbackHandle` useful for modifying list of parameters being set.
+
+The validation callback is often abused to trigger side effects in the code, for instance updating class attributes even before a parameter has been set successfully. Instead of relying on the `/parameter_events` topic to be notified of parameter changes, users can register a callback with a new API, `add_post_set_parameters_callback`.
+
+It is possible to use the proposed `add_post_set_parameters_callback` for setting additional parameters, but this might result in infinite recursion and does not allow those additional parameters to be set atomically with the original parameter(s) changed.
+To workaround these issues, we propose adding a "pre set" callback type that can be registered with `add_pre_set_parameters_callback`, which will be triggered before the validation callbacks and can be used to modify the parameter list. 
+
+![Desgin API](https://github.com/ros2/rclcpp/blob/deepanshu/local-param-changed-callback-support/rclcpp/doc/param_callback_design.png?raw=true)
+
+## Alternatives
+
+* Users could call `set_parameter` while processing a message from the `/parameter_events` topic, however, there is extra overhead in having to create subscription (as noted earlier).
+* Users could call `set_parameter` inside the "on set" parameters callback, however it is not well-defined how side-effects should handle cases where parameter validation fails.

+ * event into its queue.
+ *
+ * This executor tries to reduce as much as possible the amount of maintenance operations.
+ * This allows to use customized `EventsQueue` classes to achieve different goals such
+ * as very low CPU usage, bounded memory requirement, determinism, etc.
+ *
+ * The executor uses a weak ownership model and it locks entities only while executing
+ * their related events.
+ *
+ * To run this executor:

+ * executor.add_node(node);
+ * executor.spin();
+ * executor.remove_node(node);

+   *
+   * The callback also receives an int identifier argument.
+   * This is needed because a Waitable may be composed of several distinct entities,
+   * such as subscriptions, services, etc.
+   * The application should provide a generic callback function that will be then
+   * forwarded by the waitable to all of its entities.
+   * Before forwarding, a different value for the identifier argument will be
+   * bound to the function.
+   * This implies that the provided callback can use the identifier to behave
+   * differently depending on which entity triggered the waitable to become ready.
+   *
+   * Calling it again will clear any previously set callback.
+   *
+   * An exception will be thrown if the callback is not callable.
+   *
+   * This function is thread-safe.
+   *
+   * If you want more information available in the callback, like the subscription
+   * or other information, you may use a lambda with captures or std::bind.

+ * @brief This class provides a way for storing and executing timer objects.
+ * It provides APIs to suit the needs of different applications and execution models.
+ * All public APIs provided by this class are thread-safe.
+ *
+ * Timers management
+ * This class provides APIs to add/remove timers to/from an internal storage.
+ * It keeps a list of weak pointers from added timers, and locks them only when
+ * they need to be executed or modified.
+ * Timers are kept ordered in a binary-heap priority queue.
+ * Calls to add/remove APIs will temporarily block the execution of the timers and
+ * will require to reorder the internal priority queue.
+ * Because of this, they have a not-negligible impact on the performance.
+ *
+ * Timers execution
+ * The most efficient use of this class consists in letting a TimersManager object
+ * to spawn a thread where timers are monitored and optionally executed.
+ * This can be controlled via the `start` and `stop` methods.
+ * Ready timers can either be executed or an on_ready_callback can be used to notify
+ * other entities that they are ready and need to be executed.
+ * Other APIs allow to directly execute a given timer.
+ *
+ * This class assumes that the `execute_callback()` API of the stored timers is never
+ * called by other entities, but it can only be called from here.
+ * If this assumption is not respected, the heap property may be invalidated,
+ * so timers may be executed out of order, without this object noticing it.

+   * Specify which interfaces you need by passing them as template parameters.
+   *
+   * This allows you to aggregate interfaces from different sources together to pass as a single
+   * aggregate object to any functions that take node interfaces or node-likes, without needing to
+   * templatize that function.
+   *
+   * You may also use this constructor to create a NodeInterfaces that contains a subset of
+   * another NodeInterfaces' interfaces.
+   *
+   * Finally, this class supports implicit conversion from node-like objects, allowing you to
+   * directly pass a node-like to a function that takes a NodeInterfaces object.
+   *
+   * Usage examples:
+   *   ```cpp
+   *   // Suppose we have some function:
+   *   void fn(NodeInterfaces<NodeBaseInterface, NodeClockInterface> interfaces);
+   *
+   *   // Then we can, explicitly:
+   *   rclcpp::Node node("some_node");
+   *   auto ni = NodeInterfaces<NodeBaseInterface, NodeClockInterface>(node);
+   *   fn(ni);
+   *
+   *   // But also:
+   *   fn(node);
+   *
+   *   // Subsetting a NodeInterfaces object also works!
+   *   auto ni_base = NodeInterfaces<NodeBaseInterface>(ni);
+   *
+   *   // Or aggregate them (you could aggregate interfaces from disparate node-likes)
+   *   auto ni_aggregated = NodeInterfaces<NodeBaseInterface, NodeClockInterface>(
+   *     node->get_node_base_interface(),
+   *     node->get_node_clock_interface()
+   *   )
+   *
+   *   // And then to access the interfaces:
+   *   // Get with get<>
+   *   auto base = ni.get<NodeBaseInterface>();
+   *
+   *   // Or the appropriate getter
+   *   auto clock = ni.get_clock_interface();
+   *   ```
+   *
+   * You may use any of the standard node interfaces that come with rclcpp:
+   *   - rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeBaseInterface
+   *   - rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeClockInterface
+   *   - rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeGraphInterface
+   *   - rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeLoggingInterface
+   *   - rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeParametersInterface
+   *   - rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeServicesInterface
+   *   - rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeTimeSourceInterface
+   *   - rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeTimersInterface
+   *   - rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeTopicsInterface
+   *   - rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeTypeDescriptionsInterface
+   *   - rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeWaitablesInterface
+   *
+   * Or you use custom interfaces as long as you make a template specialization
+   * of the rclcpp::node_interfaces::detail::NodeInterfacesSupport struct using
+   * the RCLCPP_NODE_INTERFACE_HELPERS_SUPPORT macro.
+   *
+   * Usage example:
+   *   ```cpp
+   *   RCLCPP_NODE_INTERFACE_HELPERS_SUPPORT(rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeBaseInterface, base)
+   *   ```
+   *
+   * If you choose not to use the helper macro, then you can specialize the
+   * template yourself, but you must:
+   *
+   *   - Provide a template specialization of the get_from_node_like method that gets the interface
+   *     from any node-like that stores the interface, using the node-like's getter
+   *   - Designate the is_supported type as std::true_type using a using directive
+   *   - Provide any number of getter methods to be used to obtain the interface with the
+   *     NodeInterface object, noting that the getters of the storage class will apply to all
+   *     supported interfaces.
+   *     - The getter method names should not clash in name with any other interface getter
+   *       specializations if those other interfaces are meant to be aggregated in the same
+   *       NodeInterfaces object.
