This needs the version of rclrs to be bumped to 0.5.0 in Cargo.toml and CHANGELOG.md, and in package.xml

It might be because I'm on mobile, but I don't see the line item for removing examples from the repo?

[esteve]

@maspe36 that's weird, release-plz should have added a line about it. Anyway, I've added one manually in 1da2f16

[maspe36]

Thanks! LGTM.

Excited for the release 😁

Let's go! 🚀
