Additional NEWS on IncrementalInference.jl Releases

Currently general maintenance and bug fix changes are mostly tracked via Github Integrations. E.g. see Milestones along with Label filters to quickly find specific issues.

Also see automated TagBot Release note, e.g.:

Alternatively, either use the Github Blame, or the Github /compare/v0.18.0...v0.19.0 API, e.g.:

The list below highlights major breaking changes, and please note that significant efforts are made to properly deprecate old code/APIs according to normal semver workflow -- i.e. breaking changes go through at least one deprecatation (via warnings) on the dominant number in the version number. E.g. v0.18 -> v0.19 (warnings) -> v0.20 (breaking).

Major changes in v0.25

  • Changed API to testFactorResidualBinary(fct, meas::Tuple, (T_i, param_i),...) to grow beyond binary.
  • PPE methods used keyword method::AbstractPointParametricType which is now replaced with the keyword ppeType.
  • Belief points are now stored as a Vector{P} (rather than legacy Matrix), and currently still under the restriction P <: AbstractVector{<:Real}. Objective is moving to P any user desired point that fits with the JuliaManifolds/Manifolds.jl patterns.
  • Deprecating use of ensureAllInitialized!, use initAll! instead.
  • Upstream calcHelix_T canonical generator utility from RoME.jl.
  • Deserialization of factors with DFG needs new API and change of solverData and CCW type in factor.
  • Deprecate use of getParametricMeasurement and use getMeasurementParametric instead, and add <:AbstractManifold to API.
  • Deprecate use of solveBinaryFactorParameteric, instead use solveFactorParameteric.
  • Deprecating approxConvBinary, use approxConvBelief instead.
  • Removing obsolete approxConvCircular, use approxConvBelief instead.
  • getSample should return a single sample and no longer takes the N(number of samples) parameter.
  • solveTree! / solveGraph! now returns just one value tree<:AbstractBayesTree. Previous version returned three values, tree, smt, hist (#1379).
  • Note for v0.25.5 Serialization of newly introduced type PackedHeatmapGridDensity changed from v0.25.4, unlikely have yet been used publically, therefore emphasizing fastest possible standardization in this case (even though this particular event does not strictly follow semver). General usage and operation is effectively unchanged,see #1435.

Major changes in v0.24

  • Update compat for ManifoldsBase.jl v0.11 with AbstractManifold.
  • Transition to only getManifold (instead of getManifolds), thereby moving towards exclusively using Manifolds.jl, see #1234.
  • Deprecate use of getFactorMean, use IIF.getParametricMeasurement instead.
  • Upstreamed is/set Marginalized to DFG (#1269).

Major changes in v0.23

  • New @defVariable only uses ManifoldsBase.Manifold as base abstraction for variable types.

Major changes in v0.22

  • Work in progress toward ManifoldsBase.Manifold as base abstraction for variable types.

Major changes in v0.21

  • CalcResidual no longer takes a residual as input parameter and should return residual, see #467 .

Major changes in v0.20

  • The user factor API call strategy has been simplified via CalcResidual, see #467 for details.
  • User factor API for getSample and .specialsampler has been standardized via CalcResidual (#927) -- for ongoing work please follow #1099 and #1094 and #1069.
