v2.1.0

This minor release is API compatible with the previous minor release, but introduces ABI breaks on two of the three public APIs:

• Methods and attributes have been added on several classes of the DDS-PIM high-level API, so indexes of symbols on dynamic libraries may have changed

• Old Fast-RTPS high-level API remains ABI compatible.

Users of the RTPS low-level API should also be aware of the following API deprecations:

• History::reserve_Cache has been deprecated
  • Methods RTPSWriter::new_change or RTPSReader::reserveCache should be used instead
