CARLA 0.8.1 * New Python example for visualizing the player start positions * Fixed box extent of non-player agents was sent in centimeters instead of meters * Fixed speed limits were sent in km/h instead of m/s * Fixed issue in Volkswagen T2 wheels causing it to overturn
CARLA 0.8.0
* Upgraded to Unreal Engine 4.18
* Created our own pedestrian 3D models free to use and distribute
* Removed Epic's Automotive Materials dependencies
* 360 Lidars support (similar to Velodyne HDL-32E or VLP-16) thanks to Anton Pechenko (Yandex)
- Ray-cast based
- Configurable settings
- Added methods to save points to disk as PLY file
* Added quality level settings
- Low: low quality graphics, about 3 times faster with one camera
- Epic: best quality (as before)
* Measurements now use SI units
- Locations: m
- Speed: m/s
- Acceleration: m/s^2
- Collisions: kg*m/s
- Angles: degrees
* Added API methods to convert depth images to a point cloud
- New method "image_converter.depth_to_local_point_cloud"
- A supplementary image can be passed to attach colors to the points
- New client example generates a point cloud in world coordinates
- Added Transform class to Python API
* Performance optimizations
- Significant speed improvements in both Epic and Low modes
- Fixed materials and improved shaders for roads, architecture, sidewalks, foliage, landscapes, cars, walkers, reflections, water
- Execution of a set of Project and Engine parameters to improve performance (quality, vsync, AO, occlusion)
- Generation of the road pieces using static meshes and actors instead of a single actor with instanced meshes
- Improved performance since now is able to apply occlusion and draw distance
- Images are captured asynchronously in the render thread
- In asynchronous mode, images may arrive up to two frames later
- In synchronous mode, game thread is blocked until images are ready
- Blueprint code optimizations for vehicles, walkers, and splines
- Added a way to configure different quality levels with culling distance and materials configuration
* Refactored sensor related code to ease adding new sensors in the future
* Added vehicle box extent to player measurements
* Removed the player from the list of non-player agents
* Adjusted bounding boxes to vehicles' height
* Changed vehicles' center to match bounding box
* Added autopilot mode to manual_control.py
* Added quality level options to manual_control.py and client_example.py
* Replaced background landscape and trees by a matte painting
* Fixed road map generated some meshes twice
* Small improvements to Windows support
- Fixed issues with the Makefile
- Fixed asset names too long or containing special characters
CARLA 0.7.1
* New Python API module: Benchmark
- Defines a set of tasks and conditions to test a certain agent
- Contains a starting benchmark, CoRL2017
- Contains Agent Class: Interface for benchmarking AIs
* New Python API module: Basic Planner (Temporary Hack)
- Provide routes for the agent
- Contains AStar module to find the shortest route
* Other Python API improvements
- Converter class to convert between Unreal world and map units
- Metrics module to summarize benchmark results
* Send vehicle's roll, pitch, and yaw to client (orientation is now deprecated)
* New RoutePlanner class for assigning fixed routes to autopilot (IntersectionEntrance has been removed)
* Create a random engine for each vehicle, which greatly improves repeatability
* Add option to skip content download in Setup.sh
* Few small fixes to the city assets
CARLA 0.7.0
* New Python client API
- Cleaner and more robust
- Compatible with Python 2 and 3
- Improved exception handling
- Improved examples
- Included methods for parsing the images
- Better documentation
- Protocol: renamed "ai_control" to "autopilot_control"
- Merged testing client
* Make CARLA start without client by default
* Added wind effect to some trees and plants
* Improvements to the existing weather presets
* Build script: skip content download if up-to-date
CARLA 0.5.2 * Autopilot mode has been removed, now server sends AI control together with measurements every frame * State and position of traffic lights and signs are now included in the measurements too * Added a python console client * Fixed crash when client sends an invalid player start
CARLA 0.5.0
* Upgraded to Unreal Engine 4.17
- Fixes memory leaks
- Fixes crashes with C++ std classes
* Redesigned CarlaServer
- Faster, avoids unnecessary copies
- Sends images as raw data (no compression)
- Supports synchronous and asynchronous mode
- Networking operation have a time-out
- Synchronous methods have a time-out
- Pure C interface for better compatibility
- Unit tests with GoogleTest
* New server-client protocol
- Upgraded to proto3
- Supports repeated fields
- Optionally send information about all dynamic agents in the scene
- Now sends transforms instead of locations only
- Autopilot mode added to control
* New build system to avoid linkage issues
* Added autopilot mode
* Added an on-board camera to the car
* Added traffic lights and speed limit to player state
* Added player pawn selection to config file
* Improved blueprint interface of the C++ classes
* Some performance improvements to vehicle controllers
* Fix issues with depth material in Windows
* Fix issues with random engine not being available for vehicles
* Fixed issue that compiling a release hang when saving the road map
