Previous versions

Version 2.9.0

This minor release includes several new features (new log macros to avoid conflicts with external libraries), behavior change (default memory management policy is no longer PREALLOCATED_MEMORY_MODE, enable by default Fast DDS Statistics module but only taking statistics metrics if the corresponding Statistics DataWriter is enabled), performance improvements, CI improvements (including address sanitizer jobs), and several bug fixes.
