Change Release Notes
Spooky Friday the 13th software release... And it's the greatest!
Fixed sharpen image option for camera
internal camera frame memory copy routines handle negative stride bitmaps even though I'm not sure why they're a thing
Scripting variable manager has an event for when variable values have changed for plugins
removed a timer on displaying connection status on mobile app that should have been an event. saved resources
Re-using as many objects as possible between video frames (less creating and disposing of objects that get reused)
Using direct memory copy of output video frame so the same memory gets re-used for every frame
Drawing video feed on canvases using direct memory copies (i.e. blockly, RoboScratch & mobile interface)
New Invokers uses Actions() rather than delegates, so it's much faster when getting and setting ui control values/parameters
don't log errors while the application is closing
New camera capture library that is 2-3% less cpu
Sound servo is in stereo. Populates left and right channel variables of highest sound per poll
Camera device displays skipped frames due to image processing being busy with tracking types
