Description
Enable the property
dds.ros.demangle_topic_and_type_namesin the Connext RMW to announce the demangled topic name as a topic alias (documentation).This property enables interoperability with Connext applications using the demangled topic name.
Is this user-facing behavior change?
Users using standalone Connext applications can interoperate with ROS 2 applications using the Connext RMW using the real topic names.
Did you use Generative AI?
No
Additional Information
This change was first introduced in Connext 7.5.0, and it's only enabled for that version onwards. When #218 is completed, we may need to add tests for this feature, but only on our RMW.
