 Forthcoming Version
 ###################
 
-This release includes the following **new features**:
-
-* :ref:`XML Participant <user_manual_participants_xml>` now supports endpoint profiles:
-  when creating a :term:`DataWriter` or :term:`DataReader` for a topic, a loaded XML ``data_writer`` or
-  ``data_reader`` profile whose name matches the topic name is automatically applied, giving users control over
-  QoS fields such as history, memory policy and transport.
-  A specific profile can also be selected via the new ``endpoint-profile-name`` Topic QoS tag.
-  ``durability``, ``reliability``, ``ownership`` and ``history-depth`` explicitly set in the YAML configuration
-  take precedence over the profile.
-  For more details, see :ref:`user_manual_participants_xml_topic_profiles`.
-
-This release includes the following **improvements**:
-
-* Reject the configuration tags that are accepted but never applied by the *DDS Router*: ``qos`` and ``filter``
-  within ``allowlist`` and ``blocklist``, ``filter`` within ``topics``, ``status`` within ``specs: monitor``, and
-  ``transport``, ``ignore-participant-flags`` and ``ros2-easy-mode`` in Discovery Server and WAN Participants.
-* Report as configuration errors, when validating the configuration file, some configurations that were accepted
-  before but rejected while parsing (e.g. ``specs: threads`` equal to ``0``).
-* Accept TLS configurations without ``ca`` or ``password`` tags, matching the TLS validation performed at runtime.
-
-This release includes the following **bugfixes**:
-
-* Report the correct default value and accepted values of ``--log-verbosity`` in the application help text.
-
-This release includes the following **documentation updates**:
-
-* Document endpoint profiles for the :ref:`XML Participant <user_manual_participants_xml>`,
-  including QoS fields always enforced by the *DDS Router* regardless of the profile.
-* Add *Endpoint profiles* section to the :ref:`user_manual_configuration` page.
-* Warn that the configuration file is validated against a schema and that unknown tags are rejected,
-  and remove the page of the no longer existing YAML Validator tool.
-* Add tag trees to the :ref:`user_manual_configuration` page, and document the accepted values, default values and
-  required tags of every configuration tag, including the ``logging`` and ``monitor`` tags.
-* Document the tags accepted by each :ref:`Participant Kind <user_manual_participant_participant_kinds>`.
-* The Installation Manual has been merged with the Developer Manual, and the latter is removed.
-* Update the Docker image installation instructions to use eProsima's *Fast DDS Suite*.
-* Update the examples and use cases to *Fast DDS* 3.

+This release includes the following **improvements**:

+* Run the ``Uncrustify`` and ``Python Linters`` workflows only in PRs
+* Remove the nightly CI jobs targeting the End-of-Life 2.x branch
+* Align the validation of the configuration file with what the *DDS Router* applies: reject tags that were accepted
+  but never applied, report configurations that were previously rejected only while parsing, and accept TLS
+  configurations without ``ca`` or ``password`` tags
+
+This release includes the following **documentation updates**:
+
+* Rework the documentation: the configuration page contains now a reference tag tree and more detailed information of
+  the tags, and it warns that unknown tags are rejected by schema validation; the Developer Manual is merged into the
+  Installation Manual; and examples and use cases are updated to *Fast DDS* 3
