V1.2.4
release date 05/05/2016
New Features
- New selection mechanism of images for delete and batch process
- New walkaround (50/50) capture mode
- Improved support for compatibility with apps
- Improved responsive design of the web pages. Improve coding of the web pages to pass all via osc calls.
- New reduced-size OS based on yocto build (in firmware code, that implies change of communication in server from msgpack to json, change of media management).
- New upgrade mechanism with dual boot in place. New intermediate level upgrade (u-boot from eMMC, linux boot from SD card).
- Add possibility to choose to save to eMMC or SD card (this feature is coded but as not been made available via UI for users for now)
Bug fixes
- on board batch stitching only stitches at resolution 8Kx4K
- reset the LEDs to blue after a SD card is inserted if they had turned red previously if trying to capture with no SD card in.
- Prevent use of expo manual when selecting HDR auto
- Prevent crash in batch stitching if a folder is missing the .nctri file (Output folder created by immersive studio for example)
- Add messaging "Please check SD card" if capture fails
- Fix bug that resize preview image to thumbnail size for raw capture
- Fix spelling mistakes (cancelling batch processing, integer exposures display in info page, capitalization)
- Unify computation of remaining image space so UI feedback is computed the same way as check before capture
- Set wifi password empty string treated as a reset to default request (firmware, UI send request to set as the default password value now too). Avoid creation of a blank password that results in wifi not starting.
- Fix for initial memory leak in multiple stitching processing.
Debug infos
- logs/yyyymmdd-hhmmss-iris360.nctdi: adds info for problem identification (red LED at start up caused by not enough sensors connected, log lsusb and dmesg error to id if it's hardware)
