Preparing for Foxy sync 2021-04-23

We’re planning for a Foxy sync for Friday. There are currently 5 packages ready to sync and no known regressions.

The reason for doing a sync soon after the previous sync is to patch a bug in ament_package. See the related discourse post for more information.

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.

Starting this afternoon (2021-04-22) we’ll hold all rosdistro PRs for Foxy unless they fix reported regressions. On Friday (2021-04-23), we’ll announce the release.

Sync is done!
