ZBus - New Features and Roadmap
summary
ZBus adds three core features since last year: an observer storage that lets channels reference static observers in separate files and toggle individual observations at runtime, 28 PRs since June shows active development, added message subscribers with net buffer pool so each M-subscriber gets its own copy without manual heap management, and a new highest-lock priority protocol (semaphore-based ceiling) that prevents priority inversion when publishing from thread context; ISR-safe publish to two channels and shadow-channel/multi-core proxy work are underway.
