# Description A long overdue release of IsaacLab. Since we will soon have IsaacLab 2.2 out which primarily supports IsaacSim 5.0, this release marks a "stable" checkpoint of IsaacLab that works with IsaacSim 4.5. We are working towards improving our release cycles to have more frequent patch releases. ## Type of change - This change requires a documentation update ## Checklist - [x] I have run the [`pre-commit` checks](https://pre-commit.com/) with `./isaaclab.sh --format` - [x] I have made corresponding changes to the documentation - [x] My changes generate no new warnings - [ ] I have added tests that prove my fix is effective or that my feature works - [ ] I have updated the changelog and the corresponding version in the extension's `config/extension.toml` file - [x] I have added my name to the `CONTRIBUTORS.md` or my name already exists there --------- Co-authored-by: Pascal Roth <57946385+pascal-roth@users.noreply.github.com>
