Change Log

v0.13.7

Modified

• The point_in_poly2d now handles arbitrary (convex and non-convex) polygons. The previous implementation that only supported convex polygons has been renamed point_in_convex_poly2d.

Fixed

• Fix a crash in Qbvh::refit that results from the QBVH tree becoming increasingly imbalanced.

Added

• Add Aabb::scaled_wrt_center to scale an AABB while keeping its center unchanged.

v0.13.6

Fixed

• Fix ball-convex manifolds missing contacts in some corner cases.
• Fix panic in TriMesh::intersection_with_plane.

v0.13.5

Fixed

• When using rkyv, fix CheckBytes implementation for types archived as themselves.
• Fix occasional crash in the QBVH incremental update.

v0.13.4

Fixed

• Fix Polyline::flat_indices that returned an incorrectly sized slice.
• Fix serialization of SimdAabb into map-like formats like JSON, YAML, RON.

Added

• Add validation when using rkyv safe API whenever applicable to parry types.

v0.13.3 (08 March 2023)

Modified

• Improved performance of intersection checks involving composite shapes (compound shapes, trimeshes, polylines, etc.)

This version was yanked. See the release notes for 0.13.3 instead.

v0.13.1 (26 Feb. 2023)

Fixed

• Add workaround to address jitter issue due to incorrectly empty contact manifolds generated sometimes for convex
  polyhedron.

v0.13.0 (15 Jan. 2023)

Modified

• About rkyv support: most POD structs (Aabb, Ball, Cuboid, etc.) are now archived as themselves instead of being archived as different types (for example Aabb is archived as Aabb itself istead of ArchivedAabb).

Added

• In 3D, add transformation::try_convex_hull for a convex hull calculation that will return an error instead of panicking on unsupported inputs.

Fixed

Added

• Add TriMesh::canonical_intersection_with_plane for intersecting with planes aligned with one of the coordinate axes.
• Add TriMesh::intersection_with_plane for intersecting with arbitrary planes.
• Add TriMesh::intersection_with_local_plane for intersecting with arbitrary planes in the same space as the mesh
• Add IntersectResult as the output type for the above functions.
• Add Polyline::extract_connected_components which splits a compound polyline into its connected components.
• Add implementations of bytemuck::Pod and bytemuck::Zeroable for all the simple shapes that allow it (Cuboid, Ball, Cone, etc.), and for bounding volumes (BoundingSphere and Aabb).

v0.12.0 (11 Dec. 2022)

Modified

• Qbvh::leaf_data now requires &self instead of &mut self.
• Replace the Qbvh::leaf boolean by a bitflags.

Added

v0.11.0 (30 Oct. 2022)

Modified

• Rename AABB to Aabb to comply with Rust’s style guide.
• Rename QBVH to Qbvh to comply with Rust’s style guide.

Added

• Add ConvexPolygon::offsetted to dilate a polygon.
• Add CudaTriMesh and CudaTriMeshPtr for triangle-meshes usable with CUDA.

• Fix Aabb::bounding_sphere which returned a bounding sphere that was too big.

v0.10.0 (02 Oct. 2022)

Modified

• Add to query::time_of_impact a boolean argument stop_at_penetration. If set to false the linear shape-cast won’t immediately stop if the shape is penetrating another shape at its starting point and its trajectory is such that it’s existing that penetration configuration.

Added

• Add 2D Heightfield::to_polyline to get the explicit vertices/indices of a 2D heightfield seen as a polyline.
• Add the support for linear shape-cast (query::time_of_impact) for heightfields.
• Make the convex polyhedron scaling more forgiving regarding normals to avoid frequent unjustified panics.
• Fix panic happening when building a convex polyhedron with empty inputs.
• Add the support of Heightfields on CUDA kernels written in Rust using the cust crate.
• Add the rkyv-serialize feature that enables the implementation of rkyv serialization/deserialization for most shapes.
• Add the parallel feature that enables methods for the parallel traversal of Qbvh trees: Qbvh::traverse_bvtt_parallel, Qbvh::traverse_bvtt_node_parallel, Qbvh::traverse_depth_first_parallel, Qbvh::traverse_depth_first_node_parallel.

Fixed

• Fix the application of non-uniform scaling to balls.

v0.9.0 (30 Apr. 2022)

Modified

• Remove &self argument from Compound::decompose_trimesh.
• Switch to cust 0.3 (for partial CUDA support).
• Rename RoundShape::base_shape to RoundShape::inner_shape.

Added

• Allow custom balancing strategies for the Qbvh construction. Some strategies are allowed to generate new leaves during the splitting process.
• Allow using point projection on heightfields from a CUDA kernel.
• Add the simultaneous traversal of two Qbvhs.
• Add computation of MassProperties for a TriMesh.
• Add .to_outline methods to compute the outline of a 3D shape (useful for debug-rendering).

• Add methods to split (into up to two parts) a Cuboid, Segment, or TriMesh with an axis-aligned plane.
• Add the computation of the intersection mesh between two TriMesh, or between a Cuboid and a TriMesh.

v0.8.0 (2 Jan. 2022)

Modified

• Until now, the orientation of the polygon computed by 2D convex hull computation parry2d::transformation::convex_hull and parry2d::transformation::convex_hull_idx wasn't specified (and was generally in clockwise order). Now, this orientation is explicitly specified in the documentation and is set to counter-clockwise order (which is coherent with orientation expected by, e.g., the ConvexPolygon type).

Added

• Add parry::utils::obb which computes a (possibly sub-optimal) OBB for a set of points.
• Add Polyline::project_local_point_assuming_solid_interior_ccw which projects a point on the polyline contour, and is able to detect if that points is located inside of the polyline, assuming that the polyline is closed and oriented counter-clock-wise.
• Add (3D only) TriMesh::compute_pseudo_normals. If this is called, and if the trimesh respects some constraints ( oriented with outward normals, manifold almost everywhere, etc.) any subsequent point queries with the solid argument set to true will properly set the PointProjection::is_inside to true when the point lies in the interior of the trimesh.
• Added the implementation of the ear-clipping and Hertel-Mehlhorn algorithm that can be used for 2D triangulation and convex decomposition.
• Add the ability to use a subset of Parry’s features in a no-std context. If the new cuda cargo feature of Parry is enabled, all features compatible with no-std can be used inside of a CUDA kernel written in Rust thanks to the rust-cuda ecosystem.

Fixed

• Fix the orientation of the polygons generated by the 2D convex polygon decomposition (they are now always oriented counter-clockwise as expected by the ConvexPolygon type).
• Fix the intersection test between a 2D ball and a 2D compound shape.

v0.7.1

Added

• Add the method Aabb::volume to compute the volume of an Aabb.

v0.7.0

Modified

Fixed

v0.6.0

Added

• Implement Debug, Clone, PartialEq for VHACDParameters.
• Add a method to reverse the order of a polyline.

• Add a method to iterate through all the lean data stored by a Qbvh.
• Implement the Interval Newton Method for computing all the roots of a non-linear scalar function.
• Implement the intersection test between a spiral and an Aabb.

Modified

• Rename all occurrences of quadtree to qbvh. Using the term quadtree was not representative of the actual acceleration structure being used (which is a BVH).

v0.5.1

Fixed

v0.4.2

Added

v0.4.1

Added

• SharedShape now implements AsRef<dyn Shape>.
• Add the optional method Shape::compute_swept_aabb to the Shape trait.

Modified

• Renamed SimdQuadTree to Qbvh (Quaternary Bounding Volume Hierarchy). The incorrect name SimdQuadTree is now deprecated.
• Qbvh::clear_and_rebuild is now slightly more general.

v0.4.0

Modified

• Switch to nalgebra 0.26.

v0.3.0

Added

• Add MassProperties::set_mass as a simple way to modify the mass while automatically adjusting the angular inertia.
• Make the fields of BoundingSphere public.
• Add Aabb::EDGES_VERTEX_IDS and Aabb::FACES_VERTEX_IDS which are index tables describing the vertices of a given edge, or of a given face, of the Aabb.

Modified

• Remove the target_dist argument from query::time_of_impact.
• The RigidBodyMotion and all its implementors have been removed. Use the NonlinearRigidMotion struct instead.
• The query::nonlinear_time_of_impact function arguments changed completely to accommodate for the new NonlinearRigidMotion struct. See the doc of query::nonlinear_time_of_impact for details.

Fixed

• Fix the separation computation between a cuboid and a support-map shape in the SAT implementation.
• Fix a bug causing invalid results with query::time_of_impact whenever the first shape was rotated.

v0.2.0

Added

Removed

• Remove the Shape::as_serialize method.

Fixed

• Fix a bug causing making some ball/convex shape contact manifold computation fail when they are penetrating deeply.
