## Major Changes

## Upgrade Guide

## Other changes

### Hardware Support

- TBD

### 공통

- [QGroundControl Bootloader Update](../advanced_config/bootloader_update.md#qgc-bootloader-update-sys-bl-update) via the [SYS_BL_UPDATE](../advanced_config/parameter_reference.md#SYS_BL_UPDATE) parameter has been re-enabled after being broken for a number of releases. ([PX4-Autopilot#25032: build: romf: fix generation of rc.board_bootloader_upgrade](https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Autopilot/pull/25032)).

### 제어

- Added new flight mode(s): [Altitude Cruise (MC)](../flight_modes_mc/altitude_cruise.md), Altitude Cruise (FW).
  For fixed-wing the mode behaves the same as Altitude mode but you can disable the manual control loss failsafe. (PX4-Autopilot#25435: Add new flight mode: Altitude Cruise
  ).

### Estimation

- TBD

### 센서

- Add [sbgECom INS driver](../sensor/sbgecom.md) ([PX4-Autopilot#24137](https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Autopilot/pull/24137))

### 시뮬레이션

- TBD

### Ethernet

- TBD

### uXRCE-DDS / ROS2

- [PX4 ROS 2 Interface Library](../ros2/px4_ros2_control_interface.md) support for [Fixed Wing lateral/longitudinal setpoint](../ros2/px4_ros2_control_interface.md#fixed-wing-lateral-and-longitudinal-setpoint-fwlaterallongitudinalsetpointtype) (`FwLateralLongitudinalSetpointType`) and [VTOL transitions](../ros2/px4_ros2_control_interface.md#controlling-a-vtol). ([PX4-Autopilot#24056](https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Autopilot/pull/24056)).

### MAVLink

- TBD

### Multi-Rotor

- Removed parameters `MPC_{XY/Z/YAW}_MAN_EXPO` and use default value instead, as they were not deemed necessary anymore. ([PX4-Autopilot#25435: Add new flight mode: Altitude Cruise](https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Autopilot/pull/25435)).
- Renamed `MPC_HOLD_DZ` to `MAN_DEADZONE` to have it globally available in modes that allow for a dead zone. ([PX4-Autopilot#25435: Add new flight mode: Altitude Cruise](https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Autopilot/pull/25435)).

### 수직이착륙기(VTOL)

- TBD

### Fixed-wing

- [Fixed Wing Takeoff mode](../flight_modes_fw/takeoff.md) will now keep climbing with level wings on position loss.
  A target takeoff waypoint can be set to control takeoff course and loiter altitude. ([PX4-Autopilot#25083](https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Autopilot/pull/25083)).

### 탐사선

- Removed deprecated rover module ([PX4-Autopilot#25054](https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Autopilot/pull/25054)).

### ROS 2

- TBD
