1.1.0 (June 13, 2015)

Note: Java 7 is required to compile RoboViz now, whereas the version on the SourceForge repository works with Java 6.

• Unified Log Mode and Live Mode - Log Mode now has the same features and shortcuts as Live Mode, except for a few necessary restrictions (server commands and drawings)
• Log Player:
  • fixed another Logplayer window being created when dragging RoboViz to a different monitor on Linux
  • added a separate thread for log playback to prevent the UI from freezing when jumping a lot of frames (especially noticeable with the slider)
  • added a "Jump to previous / next" goal feature (a separate thread analyzes the logfile in the background to find goals, so the functionality is not available right away)
  • playback speed is now determined by a factor instead of FPS
  • negative playback speeds are now allowed
  • replace the decrease / increase playback speed buttons with a spinner
  • fixed playback being slightly too fast (150ms per frame instead of 200ms)
  • the "ms per frame"-value is now extracted from the logfile, making it so that the playback speed is independent of the $monitorLoggerStep value of the server config while recording it
  • removed the progress slider from the RoboViz main window
  • fixed score / team colors / names etc. not being reset properly when switching logfiles
• Shortcuts:
  • added a F1 shortcut that displays a help page with a list of all shortcuts
  • changed the ball selection shortcut from Ctrl+0 to just 0
  • fixed Numpad 0 not working with the ball selection shortcut
  • removed the Q shortcut to prevent accidentally closing RoboViz
  • added an Escape shortcut to close dialogs and to cancel the current selection
  • added Ctrl+[F1-F11] shortcuts to select players from the left team
  • added Ctrl+Shift+[F1-F11] shortcuts to select players from the right team
  • added a Tab shortcut to select the next player in the current team
  • added a Shift+Tab shortcut to select the previous player in the current team
  • added a Ctrl+Alt+Click shortcut to move the ball to a position with a velocity
  • added a Shift+Alt+Click shortcut to launch the ball to a position at a 45 degree angle
  • added an E shortcut to toggle third person perspective
  • added W / Up / Mouse wheel up shortcuts to decrease the FOV in Robot Vantage mode
  • added S / Down / Mouse wheel down shortcuts to increase the FOV in Robot Vantage mode
  • it's now possible to hold Shift more more precise camera movement
  • added a Shift+R shortcut to reset the server time (needs [r386])
  • all shortcuts that change playmodes now reset the server time if necessary (time >= 600)
  • added a U shortcut to request a full state update from the server (for when RoboViz gets out of sync, like missing agents)
  • changed the Z (increase playback speed) and X (decrease playback speed) shortcuts to X and C (more convenient on QWERTZ keyboards)
  • added a G shortcut to jump to the previous goal (log mode)
  • added a H shortcut to jump to the next goal (log mode)
  • changed the cycle annotations shortcut (I) to only toggle between "none" and "player numbers" if there aren't any custom agent annotations
  • added a M shortcut toggling the display of the estimated server speed (in percent, relative to real time) in live mode
• Playmode Overlay:
  • allow cycling through playmodes (pressing up while the first playmode is selected selects the last playmode and vice-versa)
  • allow filtering playmodes by a string
• Field 2D Overlay:
  • made the field transparent and thus less obstructive
  • slightly decreased the size of the ball
  • the overlay is now rendered under the connection overlay
• Command-line arguments:
  • instead of simply passing a log file path as the first argument to the start scripts, it now has to be in the from of --logFile=path
  • fixed file paths starting with ~ not working on Linux
  • output a more helpful error message for invalid logfile paths (includes the path now)
  • output a more helpful error message when the logfile path is a directory
  • added a --logMode argument that enables Log Mode even without specifying a --logFile
  • added a --serverHost= argument that allows overriding the server host specified in the config
  • added a --serverPort= argument that allows overriding the server port specified in the config
  • added a --drawingFilter= argument that allows specifying the filter for the drawings panel
• Configuration Window:
  • added a UI for settings that could only be changed in the config.txt file before:
    • Record Logfiles
    • VSync
    • Team Colors
  • added several new settings:
    • Frame State (X, Y, Center Position, Maximized)
    • Save Frame State - enabled by default, automatically saves and restores the main window's position, dimensions and state
    • First Person FOV
    • Third Person FOV
    • Logfile Directory (the directory the "Open Logfile" dialog is opened at)
  • now uses the same look and feel as the other windows
  • made "Start RoboViz" the default button (allows to use Enter as a shortcut)
  • made sure OS-specific line endings are used when saving the config (previously LF was used even on Windows)

  • fixed the config.bat not working
  • fixed the ball's velocity not being reset to (0 0 0) when it's beamed
  • fixed ConcurrentModificationExceptions
  • fixed the main window not using the RoboViz icon on Linux

• Other changes and improvements:
  • screenshots are now saved in a screenshots/ subdirectory
  • logfiles are now saved in a logfiles/ subdirectory
  • more helpful "disconnected" overlay in live mode (displays server IP and port)
  • major improvements to the behavior of windows with multi-monitor setups (among other things, dialogs are now displayed relative the the main window as opposed to always being on the primiary monitor)
  • added a "select player" command to the drawing API: | 3 | 0 | Agent/Team |
  • the swap buffers command now prints an error when the second byte does not equal 0 instead of ignoring it, making the behavior consistent with the rest of the drawing API
  • added a black outline for the player numbers texts
  • moved config.txt out of resources/ into the root directory for easier access
  • moved build scripts to the scripts/ subdirectory
  • removed the separate start scripts for Log Mode
  • added a more helpful error message for the drawing API failing to parse float values
  • made sure the GameState Overlay is still rendered after losing the server connection to be able to see the current score
  • added the new rcssserver3d robot body type models (needs [r395])
