Changes between ifm3d 0.14.1 and 0.15.0

• Added Interface for getting json_model from O3D3xx devices.

Changes between ifm3d 0.14.0 and 0.14.1

• Fixes to how timeouts are handled in swupdate module
• Updated embedded JSON library to 3.6.1, single-header.

Changes between ifm3d 0.13.0 and 0.14.0

• New module: swupdater -- utilities for updating camera firmware
  • Ported functionality from swupdate command into its own library for programmatic consumption.
  • Updated certain semantics of the swupdate command in the tools module to match those of the other ifm3d tools commands
    • Updated command line switch naming to match other ifm3d tools:
      • check subcommand now invoked by -c or --check
      • reboot subcommand now invoked by -r or --reboot
    • file subcommand will now test for recovery and automatically reboot the device into recovery as needed.

  • Parameterized the CMake generator for easier building when multiple versions of MSVC are installed concurrently

Changes between ifm3d 0.12.0 and 0.13.0

• Honor semantics of CMake's BUILD_SHARED_LIBS flag (ON by default). Setting to off will build and link against ifm3d modules as static libraries.
• New module: pybind11 -- Python bindings for the the C++ API

Changes between ifm3d 0.11.2 and 0.12.0

• Fixes to build infrastructure in support of windows unit tests

Changes between ifm3d 0.11.1 and 0.11.2

• Bugfix for #111, moved a log message in framegrabber to IFM3D_PROTO_DEBUG to keep noise level low when running an O3X for extended periods of time.
• Changed flagging bad pixels to always be 0 regardless of data type. Users could always consult the confidence image themselves and discriminate between a true 0 (not possible) and a bad pixel which they could then transform to nan or whatever other sentinel makes sense for their application.

Changes between ifm3d 0.11.0 and 0.11.1

• Bugfix for #103 header is not in the correct format when make check is executed against FW 1.6.2114
• Bugifx for #107 Allows OpenCV module headers to be included in more than one translation unit thus avoiding violation of ODR.
• The image and opencv modules now flags bad pixels at the driver-level

Changes between ifm3d 0.10.0 and 0.11.0

• Added a jitter subcommand to ifm3d
• Added support to retrieve the intrinsic parameters from O3D3xx cameras

Changes between ifm3d 0.9.3 and 0.10.0

• Adds support for setting the IFM3D_SESSION_ID environment variable for establishing edit sessions with the camera using a known ID.
• Sessions are now explicitly cancellable if the session ID is known.
• Some session management optimizations in FromJSON which should result in incremental speedups in importing JSON configurations to the camera.

Changes between ifm3d 0.9.2 and 0.9.3

• Added build instructions how to switch between Release and Debug for Windows builds
• Added Troubleshoot guide
• Added Opencv module build instruction for windows
• Added minimum MSVC version requirement
• Added prerequisite packages list for building ifm3d
• Changed warning message in framegrabber from WARNING to IFM3D_TRACE severity level
• Updated swupdate command with --check (recovery mode check) and -r (reboot to productive mode)

Changes between ifm3d 0.9.1 and 0.9.2

• Added Support for the Ubuntu 18.04
• Added glog support in the cmake config files

Changes between ifm3d 0.9.0 and 0.9.1

• Removed some additional Boost dependencies

Changes between ifm3d 0.8.3 and 0.9.0

• Version number handling is now done in the cmake project command in the top-level CMakeLists.txt file
• Dropped support for Ubuntu 14.04
• Increased cmake requirements to 3.5
• Increaded compiler requirements to C++14
• Moved examples module into new project ifm3d-examples
• Moved viewer sub-command out of the ifm3d project. This is to decrease the PCL dependencies (see Issue #42). A new project will be created in support of this viewer application: ifm3d-pcl-viewer
• Updated JSON parsing library to 3.1.2
• By default, pcicclient module is now OFF.
• Pixel-parsing framework has been significantly refactored. Sub-system specific docs for image container implementers have been provided in the doc folder.
• Updated the ImageBuffer to conform to the new pixel-publishing architecture.
• Initial implementation of an OpenCV-only (i.e., no PCL) image container. This is the opencv module of the ifm3d project.
• Added a passwd subcommand to ifm3d

Changes between ifm3d 0.8.2 and 0.8.3

• Fixed a cmake regression regarding -std=c++11 flags passed to the compiler; surfaces on old versions of cmake, i.e., in Ubuntu 14.04

Changes between ifm3d 0.8.1 and 0.8.2

• Patch to windows build
• Better semver parsing of camera firmware

Changes between ifm3d 0.8.0 and 0.8.1

• Reverted Windows build changes due to how it broke packaging on Linux

Changes between ifm3d 0.7.0 and 0.8.0

• Illumination temperature is registered to frame data

Changes between ifm3d 0.6.0 and 0.7.0

• Added timestamping of image buffers
• Added support for setting/getting time on O3D cameras
• Added support for setting temporary application parameters. Please note, that if the device does not support this, it may "fail silently", so, a closed-loop check by the user is recommended.

Changes between ifm3d 0.5.0 and 0.6.0

• Added the pcic client feature from libo3d3xx
• Added the ability to dump on-camera tracelogs including an interface to this capability via the trace subcommand to the ifm3d command-line tool.

Changes between ifm3d 0.4.0 and 0.5.0

• Added swupdate subcommand in the tools module
• Added image module support to Windows build

Changes between ifm3d 0.3.3 and 0.4.0

• Added modules/tools/contrib with bash completions for ifm3d

Changes between ifm3d 0.3.2 and 0.3.3

• Windows build support (should have been a bump to 0.4.0)

Changes between ifm3d 0.3.1 and 0.3.2

• CMake build scripts now look for opencv in tools module since the image buffer header includes an opencv header

Changes between ifm3d 0.3.0 and 0.3.1

• Fixed regression on 14.04 - no compiler support for std::put_time (#3)

Changes between ifm3d 0.2.0 and 0.3.0

• Support for NTP (on O3X)
• Added simple viewer sub-command to the ifm3d command-line program. This viewer will render the point cloud and color each pixel with the normalized amplitude value registered to that point.

Changes between ifm3d 0.1.0 and 0.2.0

• Added software trigger support to O3X
• Added support for ifm Vision Assistant compatible import/export functions for O3X cameras
• Optimization to ifm3d cmd line tool when passed either --help or version. It will no longer try to connect to the device first, which makes this much more responsive and convenient for when no h/w is plugged in.
• Added the ability to explicitly choose OpenCV 2.4 or OpenCV 3 at cmake/compile time.
• Modifications to enable the library to build under Ubuntu 14.04 (C++11 instead of C++14 and gcc 4.8. Big thanks to @aaronhoy at Fetch Robotics for his work
• Added a new build-time utility ifm3d-dpkg-deps.py to auto-generate debian dependencies for the binary packages. This is needed because, for how we are building multiple shared libraries across multiple debian packages, cmake's stanard wrapper to dpkg-shlibdeps does not work for us (for several reasons).

This file has started tracking ifm3d at 0.1.0

• Initial (alpha) release
