[jlblancoc]

Version 2.4.4: Released March 5th, 2022

• New web-based applications
  • All MRPT modules (including \ref mrpt_opengl_grp and mrpt-nanogui) are now compatible with Emscripten so they can run as Javascript + wasm on any modern browser.
• Changes in applications:
  • RawlogViewer:
    • Browse dialog: Smarter coloring of pointclouds; check all & none buttons for sensor layers.
  • rawlog-edit:
    • Operation --camera-params now also works for mrpt::obs::CObservation3DRangeScan observations.
    • New operation --describe.
• Changes in libraries:
  • \ref mrpt_poses_grp
    • mrpt::poses::CPose3DQuat: Remove use of obsolete base class std::iterator.
• 3rdparty libraries:
  • Updated libfyaml to v0.7.12.
• Build system:
  • Allow using libfyaml-dev system package if found.
  • ROS package.xml: update dependencies so all sensors and mrpt-ros1bridge are enabled.
  • Fix detection of ROS1 native *_msgs packages as build dependencies.
• BUG FIXES:
  • ASSERT_NEAR_() did not work correctly when arguments were expressions with operators.
  • Fixed incorrect parsing of strings with whitespaces in mrpt::from_string<>() when converting to std::string
  • mrpt::obs::CObservation3DRangeScan::get_unproj_lut() was ignoring the depth camera distortion model and always assumed plumb_bob.
  • mrpt::ros1bridge converter for IMU observations now correctly handles missing IMU readings (ROS convention of "-1" in covariance).
