v2.17.1

Changed

• Replace c++17 with c++14 call and added test to check compatibility
• Bugfix: Builds without Python failed with missing target dependency
• Enforce protobuf version 3

v2.17.0

Added

• [Introduced in firmware v1.18] Algorithm API with three on-device processing algorithms: Background subtraction, neighbour noise filter, and static transformation.
• [Introduced in firmware v1.18] Option to disable the noise filter in the scan pattern configuration

v2.16.1

Added

• Python: Structured numpy interface flag is now available for file streams

Changed

• Bugfix: Do not enforce the legacy serial number for hardware modules
• API: Rename filter points_with_no_returns to delete_points_without_returns

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.

v2.15.0

Added

• CPP: Add support for point cloud streams using extensions
• [Introduced in firmware v1.16] API: Add custom trigger API, which allows to control external trigger outputs for special product variants
• [Introduced in firmware v1.16] API: Add named scan pattern API. Multiple patterns can be persisted and are pre-loaded.

v2.14.2

Changed

• Python: Raise minimum required Protobuf version due to incompability with currently specified version

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

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

v2.12.1

Changed

• Windows: Only disable Protobuf-related warnings
• Python: Throw explicit error types in point cloud stream class

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
