controlboardremapper
- Aligned to
controlBoard_nws_yarp
in terms of required interfaces. See #3095.
deviceBundler
- Added new device
deviceBundler
which can be useful to open two devices and attach them while using a single yarpdev command line.

- Deprecated device
portaudio
- Portaudio device, previously marked as deprecated, has been definitely removed from devices' CMakeLists.txt
FakePythonSpeechTranscription

- Always establish the
rpc
connection with thetcp
carrier, instead of using thecarrier
option as done in YARP <= 3.9 .
