Forthcoming Version

This release includes the following new features:

• :ref:`XML Participant <user_manual_participants_xml>` now supports topic-name endpoint profile lookup: when creating a :term:`DataWriter` or :term:`DataReader` for a topic, a loaded XML profile whose name matches the topic name is automatically applied, giving users full control over QoS fields such as history, memory policy and transport. A specific profile can also be selected per topic via the new endpoint-profile-name tag. A new optional endpoint-qos-mode participant tag controls whether YAML QoS overrides the matching XML profile (xml-overridable, default) or the profile is applied verbatim (xml-standalone). For more details, see :ref:`user_manual_participants_xml_topic_profiles`.

This release includes the following documentation updates:

• Document topic-name endpoint profile lookup for the :ref:`XML Participant <user_manual_participants_xml>`, including QoS fields always enforced by the DDS Router regardless of the profile.
• Add Endpoint Profiles section to the :ref:`user_manual_configuration` page.
