Quality​

  • Full sanitizer validation - All 4 sanitizers pass clean:
    • Valgrind: 0 bytes definitely lost
    • ASan: 2171/2173 tests (2 timing-sensitive excluded)
    • TSan: 0 data races (std lib false positives only)
    • MSan: 0 uninitialized reads (std lib false positive only)
  • Continuous fuzzing - 4 fuzz targets, 12,893 corpus entries, 0 crashes:
    • fuzz_rtps_spdp (2,054), fuzz_rtps_sedp (3,939)
    • fuzz_rtps_control (517), fuzz_xml_permissions (6,383)

Fixed​

  • sequence<string> codegen - Fixed generation for bounded strings
  • Float array encoding - Use to_le_bytes() loop instead of copy_from_slice
  • Memory leak in long-running subscribers (99.1% reduction)
  • Multicast route detection on macOS
