Preparing for Humble sync and patch release 2026-09-14

Heads-up for this sync: tf2 0.25.23 can deadlock waitForTransform / MessageFilter (Nav2 stalls after upgrade)

After this sync, some Humble users see Nav2 stop working: map -> odom is no longer published, followed by repeated extrapolation / β€œMessage Filter dropping message” errors. A TurtleBot3 user bisected it to ros-humble-tf2* 0.25.22 β†’ 0.25.23 (ROBOTIS-GIT/turtlebot3#1155). It matches ros2/geometry2#992 and #995.

The only functional change between those tags is β€œFix waitForTransform race condition (#966) (#974)”. A minimal stress test (one thread calling waitForTransform, one calling setTransform) deadlocked within 0.1 s in 5/5 runs on 0.25.23 and ran 20 s cleanly in 5/5 runs on 0.25.22, both pinned from snapshots.ros.org: blog/experiments/tf2-humble-0-25-23-wait-for-transform-deadlock at main Β· sungpyo9053/blog Β· GitHub

Per #992 the fix is in 0.25.24, currently in the testing repo. Until it syncs, a workaround is to hold tf2 at 0.25.22 (e.g. from the 2026-08-07 snapshot):

sudo apt-mark hold $(dpkg-query -W -f='${Package}\n' 'ros-humble-tf2*')

(Drafted with AI assistance; the test and numbers were run and checked as described in the linked repo.)

There should be a new sync on Monday:
