Version 1.4.0: Released 22-APR-2016


Version 1.3.2: Released 3-NOV-2015

  • Changes in Apps:
    • rawlog-edit:
      • New operation: --list-poses
      • --list-images now also works with 3D range scans
  • Changes in libraries:
  • Changes in build system:
    • FIND_PACKAGE(MRPT) will return libraries in the var MRPT_LIBRARIES, following the CMake convention. The old variable name MRPT_LIBS will be also returned for backward compatibility.
  • BUG FIXES:
    • Fix excessive width of paths drawn by CMetricMapBuilderRBPF::drawCurrentEstimationToImage()
    • Fix image distortion: k3 may be ignored. (Thanks to CBaiz)
    • Fix Debian bugs.

Version 1.3.1: Released 18-JUL-2015


Version 1.3.0: Released 12-JAN-2015

  • Most important changes:
    • Classes in libraries [mrpt-obs] and [mrpt-maps] now belong to new namespaces (mrpt::obs, mrpt::maps) instead of the old mrpt::slam
    • No more using namespaces polute MRPT headers. Errors in user projects missing using namespace XXX that might be formerly masked will now reveal. This is a good thing, though admitedly annoying...
    • New library [mrpt-nav], subsumming the old [mrpt-reactivenav].
    • New library [mrpt-tfest], a refactor of the old [mrpt-scanmatching].
    • Backwards compatible headers have been provided to ease the transition of user code for all those library changes. Warning messages will be shown recommending deprecated replacements.
  • Detailed list of changes:
    • Lib changes:
    • Build System / General changes:
      • Many optimizations in function arguments (value vs ref). Forces ABI incompatibility with previous versions, hence the change to a new minor version number.
      • Updated embedded version of Eigen to 3.2.3
      • Kinect: Dropped support for the CL NUI API, which seems discontinued. Alternatives in use are libfreenect and OpenNI2.
      • libfreenect is now detected in the system and used instead of compiling the embedded copy of it.
      • Embedded copy of libfreenect has been updated to (23/oct/2014). It now supports "Kinect for Windows".
      • More selective linking of .so files to avoid useless dependencies (Fixes #52).
      • (Windows only) MRPT can now be safely built with libusb support (Freenect, Kinect,...) and it will run on systems without libusb installed, by means of /DELAYLOAD linking flags.
      • More unit tests.
    • Changes in classes:
    • BUG FIXES:

Version 1.2.2: Released 12-SEP-2014

  • Changes in apps:
  • New classes:
  • Changes in classes:
    • Consistency in all "laser scan" classes: angular increments between rays are now FOV/(N-1) instead of FOV/N.
    • [mrpt-base]
      • New method mrpt::utils::CImage::loadTGA()
      • IMPORTANT: Changed behavior of CSerializable/CObject macros (see bugfix below), introducing the new macros DEFINE_SERIALIZABLE_POST_*. May require changes in user code if serializable classes are defined:
        • Previous version:
          DEFINE_SERIALIZABLE_PRE_*(...)
          class XXX {
          };
          #define DEFINE_SERIALIZABLE(class_name)
          This declaration must be inserted in all CSerializable classes definition, within the class declarati...
        • Must be changed in this version to:
          DEFINE_SERIALIZABLE_PRE_*(...)
          class XXX {
          };
          DEFINE_SERIALIZABLE_POST_*(...)
    • [mrpt-hwdrivers]
    • [mrpt-maps]
    • [mrpt-opengl]
      • mrpt::opengl::CMyGLCanvasBase (affects all 3D rendering classes): better handling of internal timers for smoother updates while rendering in multithreading apps.
    • [mrpt-srba]
      • New method to recover the global coordinates graph-slam problem for a RBA map: mrpt::srba::RbaEngine::get_global_graphslam_problem() (see example [MRPT]\samples\srba-examples\srba-tutorials\tutorial-srba-how-to-recover-global-map.cpp)
  • BUG FIXES:
    • mrpt::utils::CImage constructor from a matrix crashed.
    • Unit tests: Named semaphores are not tested anymore if it's detected that the kernel version doesn't support them (Fix Debian 758725).
    • mrpt::synch::CSemaphore [Linux]: didn't call sem_unlink().
    • mrpt::gui::CDisplayWindow3D didn't implement get/set FOV.
    • Valgrind: Fixed potential unaligned memory access warning in point clouds.
    • Fix build error with AppleClang 5.1 (Closes #71).
    • mrpt::utils::CClientTCPSocket: Use a connection success check that works on all platforms
    • Important bug fixed regarding a missing dynamic_cast<> in smart pointers casting. See above possible implications in user code. properly (Patch by Joe Burmeister).

Version 1.2.1: Released 10-JUL-2014

  • Changes in classes:
  • Build system:
    • Fix compilation of SRBA with DEBUG_GARBAGE_FILL_ALL_NUMS=1
    • Fix de-serialization error in mrpt::reactivenav::CLogFileRecord (and new unit tests added to avoid regressions).
    • Several Debian bugs closed (see packaging/debian/changelog), including build errors in uncommon platforms (MIPS, kFreeBSD, etc.)
