+  * Fix warnings on Windows. (`#2692 <https://github.com/ros2/rclcpp/issues/2692>`_)
+  For reasons I admit I do not understand, the deprecation
+  warnings for StaticSingleThreadedExecutor on Windows
+  happen when we construct a shared_ptr for it in the tests.
+  If we construct a regular object, then it is fine.  Luckily
+  this test does not require a shared_ptr, so just make it
+  a regular object here, which rixes the warning.
+  While we are in here, make all of the tests camel case to
+  be consistent.

+* Omnibus fixes for running tests with Connext. (backport `#2684 <https://github.com/ros2/rclcpp/issues/2684>`_) (`#2690 <https://github.com/ros2/rclcpp/issues/2690>`_)
+  * Omnibus fixes for running tests with Connext. (`#2684 <https://github.com/ros2/rclcpp/issues/2684>`_)
+  * Omnibus fixes for running tests with Connext.
+  When running the tests with RTI Connext as the default
+  RMW, some of the tests are failing.  There are three
+  different failures fixed here:
+  1.  Setting the liveliness duration to a value smaller than
+  a microsecond causes Connext to throw an error.  Set it to
+  a millisecond.
+  2.  Using the SystemDefaultsQoS sets the QoS to KEEP_LAST 1.
+  Connext is somewhat slow in this regard, so it can be the case
+  that we are overwriting a previous service introspection event
+  with the next one.  Switch to the ServicesDefaultQoS in the test,
+  which ensures we will not lose events.
+  3.  Connext is slow to match publishers and subscriptions.  Thus,
+  when creating a subscription "on-the-fly", we should wait for the
+  publisher to match it before expecting the subscription to actually
+  receive data from it.
+  With these fixes in place, the test_client_common, test_generic_service,
+  test_service_introspection, and test_executors tests all pass for
+  me with rmw_connextdds.
+  * Fixes for executors.
+  * One more fix for services.
+  * More fixes for service_introspection.
+  * More fixes for introspection.

+  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.

+  * fix(Executor): Fixed spin_all not returning instantly is no work was available

+  * test(executors): Added test for busy waiting while calling spin
+  * fix(executor): Reset wait_result on every call to spin_some_impl
+  Before, the method would not recollect available work in case of
+  spin_some, spin_all. This would lead to the method behaving differently
+  than to what the documentation states.
+  * restore previous test logic for now
+  * refactor spin_some_impl's logic and improve busy wait tests

+-------------------
+* [wjwwood] Updated "Data race fixes" (`#2500 <https://github.com/ros2/rclcpp/issues/2500>`_)
+  * 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 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

+/**
+ * This executor uses an events queue and a timers manager to execute entities from its
+ * associated nodes and callback groups.
+ * ROS 2 entities allow to set callback functions that are invoked when the entity is triggered
+ * or has work to do. The events-executor sets these callbacks such that they push an
+ * 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:
+ * rclcpp::experimental::executors::EventsExecutor executor;
+ * executor.add_node(node);
+ * executor.spin();
+ * executor.remove_node(node);

+ * @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.
