2026 modernization baseline. The repository moves to a single-branch model: main is the living line, v1.0.0 remains the immutable legacy snapshot.

Added

  • 2026 development environment (docker/Dockerfile): CUDA 12.6 + TensorRT 10.3 + ROS 2 Humble + MAVROS 2 + ONNX/TensorRT tooling on Ubuntu 22.04; Jetson Orin supported via --build-arg BASE_IMAGE=nvcr.io/nvidia/l4t-jetpack:r36.3.0

    docker build -f docker/Dockerfile -t redtail:2026 .
    docker run --rm -it --gpus all -v "$PWD:/workspace/redtail" redtail:2026
  • 2026 modernization blueprint (docs/modernization-2026.md):

    • Full legacy-to-2026 dependency matrix (ROS 2 Humble, ONNX model interchange, MAVROS 2 / uXRCE-DDS, PX4 v1.15+, colcon)
    • ROS 2 target architecture diagram (composable inference + lifecycle controller, typed vision_msgs replacing the legacy Image-tensor convention)
    • Six-phase migration plan (P0 environment ... P6 field validation) with concrete code touchpoints
    • Dual model-conversion recipe: TensorRT 8.5 Caffe route (AGX Xavier as conversion rig) and Caffe-to-ONNX-to-TensorRT 10 route with polygraphy parity gates
    • Per-device Jetson strategy (Xavier JetPack 5 ceiling / Orin JetPack 6 / TX1-TX2 frozen at v1.0.0)
  • .gitattributes (LF enforcement for container-executed files), .dockerignore

Changed

  • Branch consolidation: agx-xavier, jetson-nano-2gb, ros_isaac, 5-test aligned with v1.0.0 and removed; only main remains
  • README, CONTRIBUTING, and the AGX Xavier guide updated for the single-branch policy

Unchanged

  • All archived legacy sources remain byte-identical to upstream NVIDIA Redtail (BSD-3-Clause); ports land as new packages per the blueprint's non-goals
