| ### April, 2018 | ||
| * Upgraded to Unreal Engine 4.18 and Visual Studio 2017 | ||
| * API framework refactoring to support world-level APIs | ||
| * Latest PX4 firmware now supported | ||
| * CarState with more information | ||
| * ThrustMaster wheel support | ||
| * pause and continueForTime APIs for drone as well as car | ||
| * Allow drone simulation run at higher clock rate without any degradation | ||
| * Forward-only mode fully functional for drone (do orbits while looking at center) | ||
| * Better PID tuning to reduce wobble for drones | ||
| * Ability to set arbitrary vehicle blueprint for drone as well as car | ||
| * gimbal stabilization via settings | ||
| * Ability to segment skinned and skeletal meshes by their name | ||
| * moveByAngleThrottle API | ||
| * Car physics tuning for better maneuverability | ||
| * Configure additional cameras via settings | ||
| * Time of day with geographically computed sun position | ||
| * Better car steering via keyboard | ||
| * Added MeshNamingMethod in segmentation setting | ||
| * gimbal API | ||
| * getCameraParameters API | ||
| * Ability turn off main rendering to save GPU resources | ||

| ### Jan 2018 | ||
| * Config system rewrite, enable flexible config we are targeting in future | ||
| * Multi-Vehicle support Phase 1, core infrastructure changes | ||
| * MacOS support | ||
| * Infrared view | ||
| * 5 types of noise and interference for cameras | ||
| * WYSIWIG capture settings for cameras, preview recording settings in main view | ||
| * Azure support Phase 1, enable configurability of instances for headless mode | ||
| * Full kinematics APIs, ability to get pose, linear and angular velocities + accelerations via APIs | ||
| * Record multiple images from multiple cameras | ||
| * New segmentation APIs, ability to set configure object IDs, search via regex | ||
| * New object pose APIs, ability to get pose of objects (like animals) in environment | ||
| * Camera infrastructure enhancements, ability to add new image types like IR with just few lines | ||
| * Clock speed APIs for drone as well as car, simulation can be run with speed factor of 0 < x < infinity | ||
| * Support for Logitech G920 wheel | ||
| * Physics tuning of the car, Car doesn’t roll over, responds to steering with better curve, releasing gas paddle behavior more realistic | ||
| * Debugging APIs | ||
| * Stress tested to 24+ hours of continuous runs | ||
| * Support for Landscape and sky segmentation | ||
| * Manual navigation with accelerated controls in CV mode, user can explore environment much more easily | ||
| * Collison APIs | ||
| * Recording enhancements, log several new data points including ground truth, multiple images, controls state | ||
| * Planner and Perspective Depth views | ||
| * Disparity view | ||
| * New Image APIs supports float, png or numpy formats | ||
| * 6 config settings for image capture, ability to set auto-exposure, motion blur, gamma etc | ||
| * Full multi-camera support through out including sub-windows, recording, APIs etc | ||
| * Command line script to build all environments in one shot | ||
| * Remove submodules, use rpclib as download | ||
|
|
||
| ### Nov 2017 | ||
| * We now have the [car model](docs/using_car.md). | ||
| * No need to build the code. Just download [binaries](https://github.com/Microsoft/AirSim/releases) and you are good to go! | ||
| * The [reinforcement learning example](docs/reinforcement_learning.md) with AirSim | ||
| * New built-in flight controller called [simple_flight](docs/simple_flight.md) that "just works" without any additional setup. It is also now *default*. | ||
| * AirSim now also generates [depth as well as disparity images](docs/image_apis.md) that is in camera plan. | ||
| * We also have official Linux build now! If you have been using AirSim with PX4, you might want to read the [release notes](docs/release_notes.md). |
