rc_genicam_api v2.0.0

2.0.0 (2018-10-08)

NOTE: This release includes all API changes that are necessary for handling multi-part buffers of GigE Vision 2.1 capable devices. Programs that used previous versions of rc_genicam_api require minor changes. See Readme for more information. Attention: The provided GenTL layer does not yet support multipart.

• Extended Buffer and Image classes as well as the examples for handling multi-part buffers as well (NOTE: The provided GenTL producer does not yet support multipart!)
• gc_stream: Using component name for storing individual images and ensuring that files are not overwritten
• gc_pointcloud: Using component name for identifying images and try enabling synchronization on device
• Add libs of GenICam reference implementation to external cmake dependencies of shared genicam_api library
• Upgrading GenICam reference implementation to v3.1
• Add libs of GenICam reference implementation to external dependencies of shared genicam_api library

• Undefined min/max macros in gc_pointcloud.cc on Windows to avoid compile errors

rc_genicam_api v1.3.12

1.3.12 (2018-07-18)

rc_genicam_api v1.3.1

Version 1.3.1 (2017-12-20)

• Improved readme
• Porting package to Windows with 32 bit and 64 bit. It has been tested under Windows 10 with Visual Studio version 14.

rc_genicam_api v1.3.0

Version 1.3.0 (2017-12-05)

New tools / examples:

• Added tool gc_pointcloud that demonstrates synchroneous streaming and 3D
  reconstruction

Improvements of convenience layer:

• Accept true and false for boolean GenICam values additionally to 1 and 0
• Added option to ignore cache when reading parameter
• Added convenience function getColor()
• Added convience function checkFeature()
• Changing request for timestamp in gc_stream tool
• Fixed finding devices by user defined name

Improvement of help texts and messages:

• Improved exception description
• Added printing components with enabled status in gc_stream tool
• Removed output of user name in gc_info as this is not the name that can be
  defined via gc_config -n

Changes of access mode to permit parallel read access:

• Open device in gc_info readonly so that it can be used in parallel to an
  open device
• Open device in gc_config readonly if no parameter changes are requested
• Opening device in gc_stream with access mode control
• Changed getDevice() function so that exclusively opened devices are
  discovered as well

Configuration and optimization:

• [baumer] increase NextResendWaitPackets to 200
• add net_perf_check.sh script

Changes in build configuration:

• Ensure that the install directory lib/rc_genicam_api is accessible for
  everybody
• option to disable building of tools
• option for building shared libs
• generate version info
• add option to disable doc target
• Switched off vectorization and looking for CUDA as it is not necessary
• add Baumer GenTL lib for armv7l

Version 1.2.0 (2017-08-15)

• rename rcgcapi to rc_genicam_api
• getDevice() now accepts specification if interface as prefix
• Added possibility to clean all resources before exit to avoid crashes of GenTL
• add all GenICam files/libs instead of depending on external package
• rename pfnc.h to pixel_formats.h
