  • Patch to Windows build

  • Better semantic versioning parsing of camera firmware

Changes between ifm3d 0.8.0 and 0.8.1

  • Added software trigger support to O3X

  • Added support for ifm Vision Assistant compatible import/export functions for O3X cameras

  • Optimization to ifm3d command line tool when passed either --help or version. It will no longer try to connect to the device first, which makes this much more responsive and convenient for when no h/w is plugged in.

  • Added the ability to explicitly choose OpenCV 2.4 or OpenCV 3 at CMake/compile time.

  • Modifications to enable the library to build under Ubuntu 14.04 (C++11 instead of C++14 and GCC 4.8. Big thanks to @aaronhoy at Fetch Robotics for his work

  • Added a new build-time utility ifm3d-dpkg-deps.py to auto-generate Debian dependencies for the binary packages. This is needed because, for how we are building multiple shared libraries across multiple Debian packages, CMake’s standard wrapper to dpkg-shlibdeps does not work for us (for several reasons).

This file has started tracking ifm3d at 0.1.0

  • Initial (alpha) release
