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

v2.11.0

Added

• Python: Example of frame export for matlab / octave
• [Introduced in firmware v1.10] Add filter parameters to scan pattern. It allows to increase the number of returns per point and provides min/max filters for point attributes. The filter can be overridden during a stream request.
• [Introduced in firmware v1.11] Add preliminary noise filter configuration to scan pattern
• Protobuf: Add internal message option to trigger export of custom targets
• CI: Provide test coverage
• [Introduced in firmware v1.11] Interleave frame mode, which allows to double the horizontal density with the COMBINE_UP_DOWN FrameMode and efficiently uses the down-ramp phase in the inner horizontal FoV
• [Introduced in firmware v1.11] Add API request for advanced configuration

Changed

• Bugfix: Removed incorrect end of line prints in cpp fetch_clouds example

v2.10.2

Changed

• Bugfix: Frame was recorded multiple times if Python writer was faster than frame receiver

v2.10.1

Added

• Protocol: HW Variant Apollon A1 BDU
• Reference frame for depth map

Changed

• Doc: Fix rendering of python point cloud stream
• Doc: Add configure point cloud stream to python examples in the doc
• Upgrade debian testing package to libprotobuf23

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

v2.9.1

Changed

• Update links to documentation

v2.9.0

Added

• Protocol: Temporary error flags per point
• Protocol: Enable Protobuf Arena support for data messages to improve performance

Changed

• Documentation: Revise the BSL documentation with feedback of the technical writers
• CMake: Prevent creation of always out-of-date target with multiple dependencies
• Documentation: Add links to the GitHub Repo

v2.8.9

Changed

• Doc: Fix copy-paste error in general guide

v2.8.8

Changed

• Doc: Temporarily link to local documentation as full technical documentation is not yet available

v2.8.7

Changed

• Python: Use temporary cert file for SSL connections
