It’s hard to believe that Crystal has been out for an entire year. But now it’s time to say farewell!
This will be the last sync and patch release for ROS 2 Crystal Clemmys.

Because Apple and Homebrew have dropped support for macOS Sierra, we will not be providing a macOS binary for this final Crystal patch release.

We’re using a GitHub project board to track the release status.
If there is a pull request that you want included in the patch release you can propose it on the release tracking issue.
There are also new packages from the community ready for sync:

If you find a regression when testing, please report it upstream and leave a comment here so we can track it leading up to the sync.

Please get your releases in for this sync as soon as you are able, and on 2019-12-10 we’ll hold all rosdistro PRs unless they fix reported regressions.

Crystal’s final sync is live on the testing server. As long as no regressions are reported we’ll sync tomorrow as planned.
