Improvements in ROS 2 services

This new version includes improvements in the ROS 2 services. This is achieved by updating rmw_fastrtps, the middleware implementation of ROS 2, which provides an interface between ROS 2 and eProsima’s Fast DDS middleware.

Some of the improvements include:

• The user can attach the same subscriber to several callback groups
• Improved performance and reliability of discovery services

Currently, these features are only available in Vulcanexus.
