2020-12-16

Public-Auto-release: v2.16.0 # Added * [Introduced in firmware v1.17] API: Introduce packed frame format. The format returns point clouds as flat binary structures. These can be efficiently encoded & decoded, which increases the performance on low-performance clients significantly. * Python: Add structured numpy interface for point clouds * [Introduced in firmware v1.17] Extended hello message with library, firmware, and hardware information. Added requests for serial number & product variant.

2020-12-02

Multiple patterns can be persisted and are pre-loaded.

2020-11-25

Public-Auto-release: v2.14.2 # Changed * Python: Raise minimum required Protobuf version due to incompability with currently specified version

2020-10-19

Public-Auto-release: v2.14.0 # Added * [Introduced in firmware v1.14] API request to fetch constraints for allowed scan pattern configurations. This improves the Web GUI and results in improved validation error messages. # Changed * Python: Fixed point cloud stream close to first call stop and unsubscribe * Python: Fixed bug when stopping a raw stream and deleting it afterwards, it would call stop again

2020-09-25

Public-Auto-release: v2.13.0 # Added * [Introduced in firmware v1.13] Separate API request for raw file streams. This allows file recordings with Python on low-performance clients. * [Introduced in firmware v1.13] Server section to status message. Reports connected clients and network statistics. * Add protocol files to install target * [Introduced in firmware v1.13] Extend advanced configuration with `default_point_cloud_subscription` * [Introduced in firmware v1.13] Request to attempt error recovery # Changed * Python: Improved examples and refactored arguments * CPP: Refactored point cloud recording class * CMake: Improved the approach of linking dependent library to make the install package relocatable # Removed * [Removed in firmware v1.13] Drop deprecated legacy scan patterns

2020-09-08

Public-Auto-release: v2.12.0 # Added * Protocol: Additional processing section in advanced configuration * Example for builds with external projects which locates all dependencies in a local directory. Can be found in cmake/external. Install section in documentation is updated. # Changed * Bugfix: M_PI was not defined and compiler flags were overridden in cpp windows builds

2020-08-31

Public-Auto-release: v2.11.1 # Added * Python: Flag for detecting frame losses # Changed * Change default scan pattern to 40 scanlines up, 40 scanlines down, INTERLEAVE pulse type, and COMBINE_UP_DOWN pulse frame mode * Bugfix Python: Fixed and simplified the recording functionality. The compression level can now be adjusted and is default set to 1. * Protocol: Formatted protobuf files for better readability * Python: Follow PEP 8 version rules

2020-07-10

Public-Auto-release: v2.10.0 # Added * [Introduced in firmware v1.9] Protocol: Request to trigger a self test of the device - Validates the hardware, operates the device, and generates a report. - The report is currently only accessible by developers. - A success flag indicates if the device is functional. * [Introduced in firmware v1.9] Configurable point-cloud stream: Used to reduce the network bandwidth and to decrease the Protobuf encoding/decoding effort - The post-processing can be configured with a filter. It allows to increase the number of returns per point and provides min/max filters for point attributes. - The desired frame fields in the stream can be requested by passing a reference frame. Example reference frames are available. # Changed * CI: Improve internal release automation
