Version 1.7.2¶
This release fixes an important bug:
- Allocation limits on subscribers with a KEEP_LAST QoS was taken from resource limits configuration and didn’t take history depth into account.
It also has the following improvements:
- Vendor FindThreads.cmake from CMake 3.14 release candidate to help with sanitizers.
- Fixed format of gradle file.
Some other minor bugs and performance improvements.
Note: If you are upgrading from a version older than 1.7.0, it is required to regenerate generated source from IDL files using fastrtpsgen

- XML parser made more restrictive and with better error messages
It also fixes some important bugs: * Fixed discovery issues related to the selected network interfaces on Windows * Improved discovery times * Workaround ASIO issue with multicast on QNX systems * Improved TCP transport performance * Improved handling of key-only data submessages
Some other minor bugs and performance improvements.
KNOWN ISSUES
- Allocation limits on subscribers with a KEEP_LAST QoS is taken from resource limits configuration and doesn’t take history depth into account.
Note: If you are upgrading from a version older than 1.7.0, it is required to regenerate generated source from IDL files using fastrtpsgen
Version 1.7.0¶
This release included the following features:
- TCP Transport
- Dynamic Topic Types
- Security 1.1 compliance
Also bug fixing, allocation and performance improvements.
Note: If you are upgrading from an older version, it is required to regenerate generated source from IDL files using fastrtpsgen
Version 1.6.0¶
This release included the following features:
- Persistence
- Security access control plugin API and builtin Access:Permissions plugin.
Also bug fixing.
Note: If you are upgrading from an older version than 1.4.0, it is advisable to regenerate generated source from IDL files using fastrtpsgen
Version 1.5.0¶
This release included the following features:
- Configuration of Fast RTPS entities through XML profiles.
- Added heartbeat piggyback support.
Also bug fixing.
Note: If you are upgrading from an older version than 1.4.0, it is advisable to regenerate generated source from IDL files using fastrtpsgen
Version 1.4.0¶
This release included the following:
- Added secure communications.
- Removed all Boost dependencies. Fast RTPS is not using Boost libraries anymore.
- Added compatibility with Android.
- Bug fixing.
Note: After upgrading to this release, it is advisable to regenerate generated source from IDL files using fastrtpsgen
Version 1.3.1¶
This release included the following:
- New examples that illustrate how to tweak Fast RTPS towards different applications.
- Improved support for embedded Linux.
- Bug fixing.
Version 1.3.0¶
This release introduced several new features:
- Unbound Arrays support: Now you can send variable size data arrays.
- Extended Fragmentation Configuration: It allows you to setup a Message/Fragment max size different to the standard 64Kb limit.
- Improved logging system: Get even more introspection about the status of your communications system.
- Static Discovery: Use XML to map your network and keep discovery traffic to a minimum.
- Stability and performance improvements: A new iteration of our built-in performance tests will make benchmarking easier for you.
- ReadTheDocs Support: We improved our documentation format and now our installation and user manuals are available online on ReadTheDocs.
Version 1.2.0¶
This release introduced two important new features:
- Flow Controllers: A mechanism to control how you use the available bandwidth avoiding data bursts. The controllers allow you to specify the maximum amount of data to be sent in a specific period of time. This is very useful when you are sending large messages requiring fragmentation.
- Discovery Listeners: Now the user can subscribe to the discovery information to know the entities present in the network (Topics, Publishers & Subscribers) dynamically without prior knowledge of the system. This enables the creation of generic tools to inspect your system.
But there is more:
- Full ROS2 Support: Fast RTPS is used by ROS2, the upcoming release of the Robot Operating System (ROS).
- Better documentation: More content and examples.
- Improved performance.
- Bug fixing.
