- update all msgs to be directly compatible with ROS2
- microdds_client improvements
- timesync
- reduced code size
- add to most default builds if we can afford it
- lots of other little changes
- purge fastrtps (I tried to save this multiple times, but kept hitting roadblocks)
- for convenience merge px4_sitl_ign into px4_sitl_default, but allow simulator_ignition_bridge to quietly skip inclusion if ignition-transport isn't available
- simulator_ignition_bridge only try setting the system clock in
lockstep builds
- this simplifies usage and CI system dependencies
- new modules/simulation directory to collect all simulators and related modules
- new Tools/simulation directory to collect and organize scattered simulation submodules, scripts, etc
- simulation module renamed to simulator_mavlink
- sih renamed to simulator_sih (not a great name, but I wanted to be clear it was a simulator)
- ignition_simulator renamed to simulator_ignition_bridge
- large sitl_target.cmake split by simulation option and in some cases pushed to appropriate modules
- sitl targets broken down to what's actually available (eg jmavsim only has 1 model and 1 world)
- new Gazebo consistently referred to as Ignition for now (probably the least confusing thing until we fully drop Gazebo classic support someday)
- much simpler direct interface using Ignition Transport
- in tree models and worlds
- control allocation output configuration, no more magic actuator mapping to mavlink and back
- currently requires no custom Gazebo plugins (keeping things as lightweight and simple as possible)

- cmake NuttX build wrapper compile in place instead of copying source tree to build directory
- slightly faster skipping necessary copying (depending on system)
- allows debugging in place
- easier to work directly in NuttX following official documentation
- simplifies overall build which should make it easier to resolve any remaining NuttX dependency issues in the build system
- the downside is switching back and forth between different builds always require rebuilding NuttX, but I think this is worth the improved developer experience
- also no longer builds px4io and bootloader in every single build, for most users these rarely change and we're wasting a lot of build time
- include icm20948 on most boards by default
- create more test variants for default boards near flash limit (cuav_nora_test, cuav_x7pro_test, holybro_durandal-v1_test)
in workspace settings. This comes down to user preference
and there's no particular reason to change this based on the workspace.
I found it confusing to have this non-default behavior
just for PX4 editing.
- fix gazebo SITL debug
- now prompts you to select vehicle
- devcontainer.json container support https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/containers
- this allows you to jump straight into working within a container (px4-dev-nuttx) on a fresh machine
- also helps with Codespaces https://github.com/features/codespaces
- plugin updates
- cpp extension pack, spell checking, CTest support
- cleanup intellisense
- the backup tag parser was a resource hog and didn't work very well
- fix problemMatcher support so that you can click on a build failure
