v2.12.0

Fast DDS v2.12.0

This minor release includes several new features, improvements and bugfixes.

IMPORTANT This release upgrades the following Fast DDS dependencies:

• Fast CDR v2.0.0
• Fast DDS-Gen v3.0.1.

Please, read also the release notes of Fast DDS-Gen v3.0.0 to be aware of every possible break in the application code.

Mind that, there is a minor API break with previous v2.x versions: MEMBER_INVALID identifier was declared using #define. In order to prevent polluting the user workspace, it has been transformed into a constexpr within eprosima::fastrtps::types namespace.
Also, as Fast DDS dependencies have been upgraded to new major releases, depending on the types defined in the IDL files, it might be required to modify the user application source code besides recompiling it (more information can be found in the corresponding release notes). Finally, the type support must be regenerated from the IDL files using Fast DDS-Gen v3.0.0.
