librealsense T256 and development branch

Hello, I have a question regarding the development branch and T265 support.

What is the development branch? Should we use the master or development branch?
I see the T265 is removed from the development branch in #11287. and also it is removed from the ROS 2 wrapper on ros2-development branch in https://github.com/IntelRealSense/realsense-ros/pull/2611.

What should I do if I want to get the T265 working with ROS 2 now?

Hi @yosoufe

master - this branch contains production code. All development code is merged into master in sometime, usually before releasing a formal release of librealsense. development - this branch contains pre-production code. When the features are finished then they are merged into development.

I think it's better to use always the master branch, since all releases are tagged from this branch. See https://github.com/IntelRealSense/librealsense/wiki/Release-Notes You can always install the latest release form this link: https://github.com/IntelRealSense/librealsense#download-and-install

Regarding your question about T265, I think you can always use the code prior to these PRs changes, and continue using librealsense and ROS2 wrapper with your T265.

@MartyG-RealSense, any other advices here?

Does this mean that the code will not be maintained anymore neither by intel nor by the community?

Hi @yosoufe Are you able to use T265 with ROS 2 ? I am trying to do the same, but I am not sure how.
