 The ``period`` argument in the ``read``, ``update`` and ``write`` methods is calculated using the trigger clock of type ``RCL_STEADY_TIME`` so it is always monotonic.
 
 The reason behind using different clocks is to avoid the issues related to the affect of system time changes in the realtime loops. The ``ros2_control_node`` now also detects the overruns caused by the system time changes and longer execution times of the controllers and hardware components. The controller manager will print a warning message if the controller or hardware component misses the update cycle due to the system time changes or longer execution times.

+Color Output Handling
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The helper scripts (``spawner`` and ``hardware_spawner``) now use an environment-aware ``bcolors`` class.
+The color output automatically adapts to the environment:
+
+* ``RCUTILS_COLORIZED_OUTPUT=0`` -> disables color output
+* ``RCUTILS_COLORIZED_OUTPUT=1`` -> forces color output
+* Unset -> automatically detects TTY and enables color only in interactive
+  terminals

 ******************
+<<<<<<< HEAD
 * The default strictness of the ``switch_controllers`` can now we be chosen using ROS 2 parameters. The default behaviour is still left to ``BEST_EFFORT`` (`#2168 <https://github.com/ros-controls/ros2_control/pull/2168>`_).
 * Parameter ``shutdown_on_initial_state_failure`` was added to avoid shutting down on hardware initial state failure  (`#2230 <https://github.com/ros-controls/ros2_control/pull/2230>`_).
 * The controller manager now publishes ``~/statistics/names`` and ``~/statistics/values`` topics to introspect the execution time and periodicity of the different entities running in the realtime loop (`#2449 <https://github.com/ros-controls/ros2_control/pull/2449>`_).
 * The controller manager now supports switching (activating and deactivating) controllers in both realtime and non-realtime modes. This is controlled by the parameter ``activate_asap`` of the ``switch_controllers`` service (`#2452 <https://github.com/ros-controls/ros2_control/pull/2453>`_).
 * The spawner now supports two new arguments ``--switch-asap`` and ``--no-switch-asap`` to control the behaviour of the spawner when switching controllers to be in realtime loop (or) non-realtime loop. By default, it is set to ``--no-switch-asap`` because when activating multiple controllers at same time might affect the realtime loop performance (`#2452 <https://github.com/ros-controls/ros2_control/pull/2453>`_).
 * New parameters ``overruns.manage`` and ``overruns.print_warnings`` were added to control the behavior of the controller manager/ros2_control_node when overruns occur (`#2546 <https://github.com/ros-controls/ros2_control/pull/2546/files>`_).
+=======
+* The ``bcolors`` class now respects the ``RCUTILS_COLORIZED_OUTPUT`` environment
+  variable to automatically disable colors in non-TTY and CI environments.
+* The default strictness for ``switch_controller`` is changed to ``strict``. (`#2742 <https://github.com/ros-controls/ros2_control/pull/2742>`__)
