 ## [Unreleased]
 
+### Added
+- Added `rotateImage180` parameter to rotate the image when the camera is mounted upside down (https://github.com/robotology/yarp-device-realsense2/pull/27).
+
 ### Changed
 - If all the distortion parameters are zero, explicitly specify that the image has `YARP_DISTORTION_NONE` distortion (https://github.com/robotology/yarp-device-realsense2/pull/26).
 - Changed minimum required YARP version to 3.5 (https://github.com/robotology/yarp-device-realsense2/pull/26).
