+
+28.3.3 (2024-07-29)
+-------------------
+* Only compile the tests once. (`#2590 <https://github.com/ros2/rclcpp/issues/2590>`_)
+* Contributors: Chris Lalancette
+
+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 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

 - (tfoote) There should be no jumps in steady time. If there's a big change in system time, it doesn't necessarily mean that time jumped, just that you might have been sleeping for a long time. Most ntp systems adjust the slew rate these days instead of jumping but still that's an external process and I don't know of any APIs to introspect the state of the clock. I'm not sure that we have a way to detect jumps in time for system or steady time. To that end I think that we should be clear that we only provide callbacks when simulation time starts or stops, or simulation time jumps. We should also strongly recommend that operators not actively adjust their system clocks while running ROS nodes.
 - (jacobperron) I agree with Tully, if we don't have a way to detect system time jumps then I think we should just document that this only works with ROS time. In addition to documentation, we could log an info or warning message if the user registers jump callback with steady or system time, but it may be unnecessarily noisy.

 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.
 
@@ -19,11 +19,11 @@ We propose adding a `PostSetParametersCallbackHandle` for successful parameter s
 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.

 * 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.
