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

  • resized some controls for better real estate

  • invert full range of servos

  • servo control uses events rather than timer

  • added new events for controls adding/removing and projects load completed for plugins

  • changed GetServoPosition to return the invert value if specified for servo (Vertical/horizontal) controls for plugins
