We are happy to announce that ros2\_control reached the _stable release_ state for the kilted distro with [this week’s sync](https://discourse.openrobotics.org/t/preparing-for-kilted-sync-2025-10-08/50440/2). Read more in the [latest post](https://discourse.openrobotics.org/t/releases-versioning-and-public-api-claim-of-ros-controls/50388/3) about what “_stable release_” means.

Selected highlights:

- New anti-windup strategies for the PID class (updated also for pid\_controller and joint\_trajectory\_controller)
- New async scheduler options (synchronized/detached) used by the controller manager
- Statistics of execution time and periodicity of controllers and hardware components are published per default on `~/statistics` topic
- force\_torque\_sensor\_broadcaster: Filters and per-axis scaling was added.
- imu\_sensor\_broadcaster: Is now chainable and filtering capability was added.
- joint\_trajectory\_controller: Supports speed scaling (known from ur\_controllers)
- New controllers:
  - omni\_wheel\_drive\_controller
  - chained\_filter\_controller: use generic filter plugins for all interfaces
  - motion\_primitives\_forward\_controller: use primitives from robot arm vendor hardware

Some of the new features are also available on jazzy, we try to backport all non-breaking changes if it does not take too much effort for adaption.

For the full list see the release notes on [control.ros.org](https://control.ros.org/kilted/doc/release_notes/release_notes.html).

Finally, necessary changes for fixing API-breaking changes are summarized in the [migration guides](https://control.ros.org/kilted/doc/migration/migration.html).
