## Major Changes
- TBD
## Upgrade Guide
## Other changes
### Hardware Support
- TBD
### Common
- [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)).
### Control
- 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
](https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Autopilot/pull/25435)).
### Estimation
- TBD
### Sensors
- Add [sbgECom INS driver](../sensor/sbgecom.md) ([PX4-Autopilot#24137](https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Autopilot/pull/24137))
### Simulation
- 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)).
- [PX4 ROS 2 Interface Library](../ros2/px4_ros2_control_interface.md) support for [ROS-based waypoint missions](../ros2/px4_ros2_waypoint_missions.md).
### 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)).
### 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)).
### Rover
- Removed deprecated rover module ([PX4-Autopilot#25054](https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Autopilot/pull/25054)).
- Add support for [Apps & API](../flight_modes_rover/api.md) ([PX4-Autopilot#25074](https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Autopilot/pull/25074), [PX4-ROS2-Interface-Lib#140](https://github.com/Auterion/px4-ros2-interface-lib/pull/140)).
### ROS 2
- TBD
