Highlights

  • Final releases for Edifice’s EOL: 🏁 Ignition Edifice officially end-of-life

  • Edifice / Fortress: New Model Photo Shoot system

    modelphotoshoot

  • Edifice / Fortress: Toggle lights and their gizmo visuals

    light_toggle

  • Fortress: New “triggered cameras” can take photos on demand instead of continuous videos

  • Fortress: IMU sensors now support any arbitrary reference frame, as well as presets like NED, ENU, etc.

  • Fortress: Sensors can be enabled / disabled at runtime. This is integrated with the battery so they’re shut down when there’s no more power.

  • Fortress: Options to print SDF poses in degrees and snap to common angles

      ign sdf -p test.sdf --degrees
  # <pose degrees='true' rotation_format='euler_rpy'>1 2 3   30.009 45.009 60.009</pose>
  ign sdf -p test.sdf --snap-to-degrees 5
  # <pose degrees='true' rotation_format='euler_rpy'>1 2 3   30 45 60</pose>

  • Edifice: GUI snackbar element for standardized notifications
