Full Changelog: v2023.4.0...v2023.4.1

v2023.4.0

New release, now built against wpilib 2023.3.2! If you're using 2023.3.0 no need to reflash; if you're coming from an earlier version, and on a limelight or Pi device, a reflash is probably required (depending on version).

This release brings mulit-tag PNP support! Change the estimation strategy to MULTI_TAG_PNP in your PhotonPoseEstimator to take advantage of this new feature.

Major changes

• Robustify setting pipeline index by @mcm001 in #790
• Multi-tag pnp in robot code by @mcm001 in #787

Full Changelog: v2023.3.0...v2023.4.0

v2023.3.0

Major fixes

Fixes issue with v2023.2.2 where LimeLight cameras fail to load camera streams. New major version means you should reflash your LimeLight/Pi! The libcamera driver we built our GPU code against (0.0.3) is different from 2023.2.1 or 2023.2.2, and a reflash is required to get the new Linux libraries. Orange Pi/MiniPC/other people, reflashing is not required.

What's Changed

• Update libphotonlibcamera to target libcamera0.0.3 by @mcm001 in #783
• Fix "raw" vs "rawBytes" in simphotoncamera.h by @mcm001 in #785

Full Changelog: v2023.2.2...v2023.3.0

v2023.2.2

Major notes

(Breaking) Limelight users will need to offline update to the jar here to fix camera streams not appearing: https://github.com/PhotonVision/photonvision/releases/download/Dev/photonvision-dev-v2023.2.2-1-gdeb8f97e-linuxarm64.jar

Breaking C++ bug fixed, as well as changing pipelines over NT. LimeLight image now has NetworkManager, which was required, but will occasionally fail to boot on some LimeLight devices. Reflashing to older versions of Photon or reflashing LL software is sufficient to recover the device.

Note that connecting to your coprocessor without a DHCP server, and specifically the FRC radio, also connected to your network switch is not a supported (as in we-provide-troubleshooting, not as in does-it-work) configuration. Advanced users can make static IP work without a radio, though!

What's Changed

• Fix publish type in photoncamera by @mcm001 in #760
• photon-lib: Fix C++ sources publish classifier by @auscompgeek in #765
• Add PhotonVersion to sources/headers zip by @mcm001 in #777
• Fix desync between web UI and NT by @mcm001 in #778
• Bump LL image to fix NetworkManager by @mcm001 in #780

v2023.2.1

2023.2.1

For Raspberry Pi & LimeLight/Gloworm devices we highly suggest reimaging to improve networking robustness. For all other devices (Orange Pi, Beelink, etc) a offline update is sufficient.

Known issues

• LimeLight fails to boot with new image -- Ethernet lights never start blinking. Working on a fix ASAP
• LimeLight won't take static IP -- due to NetworkManager not running by default. Working on confirming a fix, for now I've taken the LL image down from this release.
• Sometimes, 3d mode can freeze right after calibration. Restarting photon once or changing resolutions after calibration seems to fix this -- still trying to nail down root cause.

Major changes

• Bump pi image version to include networking robustness by @mcm001 in #747
• Switch network management to NetworkManager on Linux by @mcm001 in #738
• Add calibdb upload button by @mcm001 in #735
• Add calibration decimate dropdown by @mcm001 in #739
• Add PhotonPoseEstimator (replacement for RobotPoseEstimator) by @agasser in #734
• Add hostname to CameraPublisher MJPEG stream by @realSaddy in #722
