ChangeLog

List of changes in each version

v1.4.3

• Fix AnnounceBuffer() and AllocAndAnnounceBuffer() allocating memory, which isn't freed again when calling RevokeBuffer()
• Fix RevokeBuffer() not invalidating the buffer handle

v1.4.2

• New cmake packages for both windows and linux, which now take care of adding their respective include directories
• Samples have been simplified using these new packages
• Add new cmake function ids_peak_deploy to take care of copying dependent files(i.e. DLL's) into your targets output directory
• Add corresponding function ids_peak_dotnet_deploy when using dotnet
• Add new cmake function ids_peak_generate_starter_script to take care of generating a .sh script to start your application on linux
• Add new python module ids_peak_ipl_extension
  • Add BufferTo() function for python, called BufferToImage
• Add specific functions for NodeMap::FindNode(), Node::FindInvalidatedNode(), Node::FindInvalidatingNode(), Node::FindSelectedNode() and Node::FindSelectingNode() in .NET binding, for IDE's that don't support generic methods in C#
• Fix buffer chunks and parts not getting freed
• Fix nullptr checks in the interface

v1.4.1

• Fix issue where third party transport layers could cause an error when updating the device list

v1.4

• Add support for the Sony IMX415 sensor by removing invalid sensor lines
  • BufferTo()
• Fix NodeMap::UpdateEventNodes() and NodeMap::HasEventSupportedData() functions in python and .NET bindings
• Breaking changes
  • Remove support for third party transport layers and devices

v1.3

• Fix segfault when accessing certain nodes like height and width with peak python bindings on Raspberry Pi 4
• Fix incompatibility between compilers using python bindings on Debian 10 armhf (e.g. Raspberry Pi 4)
• Fix crash when throwing exceptions, caused by GenTL returning an empty error message
• Fix issues regarding peak_dynamic_loader.h
• Breaking changes
  • Calls to Library::Initialize() and Library::Close() are reference counted now, so you have to call Library::Close() as many times as you called Library::Initialize().
• Fix breaking change: Add backwards compatibility for stdcall symbols

v1.2.2

  • Event::RawData()
• Add methods for checking whether the node map contains a node with a given name (and type)
  • NodeMap::HasNode() to check whether a node with a given name exists
  • NodeMap::HasNode<T>() to check whether a node with a given name and type exists
• Add a method for checking whether a node is a feature, i.e. it can be reached via category nodes from a category node named "Root"
  • Node::IsFeature()
• Add a method for locking the NodeMap in multithreaded usage
  • NodeMap::Lock()
• Accept remote devices which report an URL string which does not strictly comply with the GenTL standard in respect to letter case
• Improve stability and error safety
• Improve Doxygen documentation
• Breaking changes
