 * Empty trajectory messages are discarded (`#902 <https://github.com/ros-controls/ros2_controllers/pull/902>`_).
 * Angle wraparound behavior (continuous joints) was added from the current state to the first segment of the incoming trajectory (`#796 <https://github.com/ros-controls/ros2_controllers/pull/796>`_).
 * The URDF is now parsed for continuous joints and angle wraparound is automatically activated now (`#949 <https://github.com/ros-controls/ros2_controllers/pull/949>`_). Remove the ``angle_wraparound`` parameter from the configuration and set continuous joint type in the URDF of the respective joint.

 When no tolerances are specified, the defaults given in the parameter interface are used (see :ref:`parameters`).
 If tolerances are violated during trajectory execution, the action goal is aborted, the client is notified, and the current position is held.
