Support FUSA dual returns udp profile [NOETIC]

CHANGELOG.rst

@@ -12,7 +12,9 @@ Changelog
 * [BUGFIX]: LaserScan is not properly aligned with generated point cloud
   * address an issue where LaserScan appeared different on FW prior to 2.4
 * [BUGFIX]: LaserScan does not work when using dual mode
-* [BUGFIX]: Implement lock free ring buffer with throttling
+* [BUGFIX]: Implement lock free ring buffer with throttling to avoid generating partial frames
+* add support for FUSA udp profile ``FUSA_RNG15_RFL8_NIR8_DUAL``.
+* [BREAKING] Set xyz values of individual points in the PointCloud to NaNs when range is zero.
