- Fix tracker/neuralnet position values being clobbered by the Accela filter (found by @Pieloth; issue #1349)
- Enable AVX support for the tracker/neuralnet module (issue #1359). In case you're using a CPU without AVX together with this face tracker, leave a message in the below discussion thread or open a new issue.
New in OpenTrack 2022.3.0 (Jun 19, 2022)
- Features:
- tracker/neuralnet: add support for operating in higher resolutions (by @DaWelter; #1476).
- module dialogs can now displayed as tabs even in low resolutions.
- options: a vendor can ship profile presets with the installer as modules/presets/*.ini. they'll be copied to the user's profile directory under Documents (but won't be copied again if they're deleted).
- contrib: add libusb installer for the ps3 eye open driver to contrib/libusbK-inf-wizard, to be used with this guide by weczi of IRTrack. this installation procedure is better than the one on the wiki, but hasn't been extensively tested. please report successes and failures in the discussion thread below.
- tracker/trackhat: implement LED tracking status indicator, add back the gain slider, and fix custom models.
- Fixes:
- tracker/steamvr: update to newer SDK version (report bugs in issues section or the discussion thread below).
- tracker/wii: fix tracking not working when the window is minimized and occluded
New in OpenTrack 2022.2.0 (May 11, 2022)
- Fixes:
- Tracker/trackhat: new tracker using a proprietary board with image processing sensor (sponsored by TrackHat)
- Video: unbreak Kinect as IR camera source (reported by @ernest-cpu, @Slion; #1461)
- Tracker/hatire: enable setting DTR when opening the COM port (reported by @AfromD, #139)
- Tracker/pt: make dialog fit on smaller screens
- Tracker/aruco: camera input MJPEG support
- Tracker/neuralnet: camera input MJPEG support (by @TheSpartaPT; #1467)
- Tracker/neuralnet: don't require installing any Visual C++ redistributables
- Tracker/udp: use SO_REUSEADDR
- Opentrack: the default profile can now be customized as modules/presets/default.ini
New in OpenTrack 2022.1.1 (Jan 26, 2022)
- Fixes:
- don't show embedded module dialogs on low resolutions; override by settings the OPENTRACK_MODULE_TABS environment variable to 0 or 1. issue #1407; reported by @00greena.
- fix handling of the Escape key with embedded module dialogs. as a consequence of this, the Escape key will now cancel and close the options dialog. report this as issue or in discussion thread if you hate this.
- Features:
- allow mouse shortcuts for extended buttons (not left, right, middle or mousewheel). keyboard modifiers like Ctrl or Shift are ignored for mouse shortcuts. issue #583; requested by many people.
- support multiple copies of the same camera model being connected at the same time. as a consequence of this, you may need to reselect the camera inside the tracker's options, but a migration has been added and should work in most cases. issue #1415; reported, tested and with additional help by @hrafnkelle and @nuxil.
New in OpenTrack 2022.1.0 (Jan 6, 2022)
- Fixes:
- Fix a bug introduced in opentrack 2021.1.3 that caused choppy output with the PT tracker (thanks to @dglava, @Vortex76, @Len62, @animusVoxxx, @3itZ as well as the Russian IL2 forum). it should work as well as 2021.1.2 even when not using the point filter (see 4b77e13, f51d533, 3272048).
- Grayscale conversion methods are now clearly described in the PT tracker. obsolete averaging method is gone, and hardware-based grayscaling with the ps3eye open driver is optional and off by default (see f531c31).
- fix a bug where any selection for freetrack output other than 'enable both' caused both registry keys to be cleared (see 7c8fd62).
- The neuralnet tracker works with no VC++ redistributables installed, particularly on Windows 7 (build only fix).
- Feature:
- Module dialogs are now drawn inside the options window. for now, only few modules support it. sponsored by TrackHat Ltd.
New in OpenTrack 2021.2.0 (Dec 22, 2021)
- Notes:
- Workaround Windows Defender false positive by compiling the release with Visual Studio 2022 (#1371).
- Features:
- Add another slider to the PT point filter. Setting it to a low value prevents sawtooth-like motion. The point filter greatly reduces the need for using Accela or any other generic filter.
- The point filter hasn't yet been implemented for the Aruco tracker. If you're using the Aruco tracker and want it done, send a note.
