+nRF Connect SDK v2.7.99
+***********************
+
+Changes
+=======
+
+* Enabled zcbor's :c:member:`stop_on_error` flag before decoding the CBOR payload of an nRF RPC packet.
+  When this flag is set, zcbor stops decoding subsequent data items in the case of decoding failure unless the error is explicitly cleared with the :c:func:`zcbor_pop_error()` function.
+
 nRF Connect SDK v2.5.0
