Change Release Notes

ARCx 2026.10.12.00 is all about making your day-to-day workflow smoother while quietly leveling up what your robots can see and do. This release brings smarter workspace and task tooling to the UI, introduces a brand-new Depth Sensing service for depth cameras, and includes key reliability improvements (plus a few quality-of-life updates for docs, installer, and developer workflows).

Workspace & UI upgrades

  • New "Add Workspace" dialog

    • Added UCAddWorkspaceDialog to make creating a new workspace fast and friendly.
    • Includes title validation so you can’t accidentally create an unnamed workspace.
  • Layout integration + consistency improvements

    • Updated MainLayout, AnonymousLayout, and CustomUILayout to integrate the new workspace flow and keep behavior consistent across views.
    • Refactored layout structure to remove unnecessary dependencies and improve overall cleanliness and responsiveness.
  • Updated styling

    • Refreshed arcx.css to match the new UI components and layout changes.

Built-in Task Management components

New task-focused UI components were added to help track and visualize work inside ARCx:

  • Added task management components including:
    • UCTaskChart
    • UCTaskManager
    • UCTaskRing
  • Added supporting task management service classes to back these new UI elements.

New: Depth Sensing service (Depth camera support)

ARCx now includes a dedicated Depth Sensing service to better support depth-enabled robotics projects:

  • Introduced the DepthSensing service and core components, including:
    • DepthSensor
    • DepthFrame
    • DepthSensorService
  • Updated the project to include the new depth sensing components.
  • Documentation updated to reflect the new depth camera capabilities and service integration.

Movement Manager reliability improvement

  • Improved MovementManagerService handling of custom movement switching
    • ARCx now detects changes in both custom movement ID and speed, preventing cases where switching movements at the same speed could fail silently.

Developer & power-user improvements

  • New command-line option

    • Added --no-browser to the command line documentation, allowing ARCx to start without automatically opening a web browser.
  • Cancelable build & upload operations

    • Added a CancellationToken parameter to BuildAsync and UploadAsync in RobotSkillDeveloperService.cs for better control over long-running async tasks.

Port enum safety fix (PWM/ADC and more)

To prevent incorrect usage and improve reliability:

  • Removed the [Flags] attribute from these enumerations so ports aren’t mistakenly treated as combinable bitfields:
    • ADCPortEnum
    • DigitalPortEnum
    • PWMPortEnum
    • ServoPortEnum

Documentation updates

  • Updated and expanded manuals/guides to cover:
    • New workspace and task-related UI additions
    • The new DepthSensorService (including updates in RobotSkill-Services-And-Core.md)
    • Updated RobotSkillAiPrompt.cs to reflect current service availability
  • Corrected URL HTML entity representation in McpGuides.cs comments to improve guide clarity.

Installer & versioning

  • Updated Windows installer configuration (product version and identifiers) to ensure installs match the latest build and release packaging.
