v0.7.0

9 months ago

Changes since last release

Updates to synchronize with the latest changes in the v1.0 ANARI Specification

  • Frame channels have their own individually associated extensions
  • Instances are subtyped for motion blur
  • scivis volume was renamed to transferFunction1D
  • Strides have been removed from shared arrays
    • Devices and applications wanting to use sparse arrays should implement them as vendor extensions, but lack of existing usage made their inclusion in v1.0 premature
  • New API calls for directly setting array parameters (anariSetParameterArray[1,2,3]D())
  • Object queries are now done primarily using ANARIDevice instead of ANARILibrary, as it is possible to create devices without going through the standard library loading mechanism

Other SDK updates

  • Major additions to helide, demonstrating many more ANARI extensions
  • New C++ class-based method for specifying ANARILibrary implementations.
    • See helide or sink devices as an example of how to adapt to the new way of implementing libraries
  • Many CTS updates to improve API test coverage
  • anari_utilities has been removed in favor of using helium
  • Added new tutorials and updated existing ones to add clarity of concepts each one introduces to users
  • New version of anariViewer to more easily showcase test scenes and other ANARI concepts
    • The components to create viewers like anariViewer are installable as an experimental component, see the anari_viewer README for more details
  • The debug device no longer requires custom debug objects to be created by devices, all debugging is done via the normal device/object queries
  • New experimental remote device implementation
    • This implements a server/client model of forwarding ANARI calls to a remote machine, see the device's README for details
  • External dependencies downloaded by CMake are consolidated under the source tree, making builds without an internet connection possible
    • Additional source archives will be created for each release which contain all downloaded dependencies

v0.3.0

1 year ago

Changes since last release

Updates to synchronize with the latest changes in the ANARI Specification

  • Framebuffer channel names are prefixed with "channel."
  • Rename ANARI_TYPE_LIST to ANARI_DATA_TYPE_LIST
  • Fix camera and instance transforms to accept 4x4 matrices instead of 4x3

Other SDK updates

  • Initial implementation of the python based Conformance Test Suite (CTS)
    • This phase of CTS development focused on construction of testing infrastructure, future work will focus on creating tests to cover API features and extensions
    • See README for details on how to run the test suite
  • New base device library (helium) for expediting common device abstractions and base implementation
    • This library replaces anari_utilities, which will be removed in the next release
    • See README for details on how to leverage the library
  • New example device based on helium (helide)
    • This device is built on Embree and is intended to primarily demonstrate helium and be widely available. This fully replaces the old example device, but shares the non-goal of ANARI extension completeness.
  • Loading the environment device (i.e. reading ANARI_LIBRARY) does not terminate on failure
  • Robustness and completeness updates in code generation infrastructure
  • New OpenGLES version of the example viewer app

v0.2.0

1 year ago

Changes since last release

Updates to synchronize with the latest changes in the ANARI Specification

  • New anariMapFrame() signature to provide output parameters about the buffer returned by the API
  • Rename anariCommit() to anariCommitParameters()
  • Arrays now take const data as input on construction
  • User data pointers are now const (applications can safely cast away const depending on declaration)
  • New _REGION_ and _LIST data types
  • Removal of anariDeviceImplements() in favor of new granular feature testing
  • Update to use ANARI_FLOAT32_MAT4 for instance transforms

Other SDK updates

  • Added utility functions for more efficient usage of feature queries (see new header and usage in the tutorials)
  • Updates to anari_cpp to mirror changes from the C API
  • SDK version info now provided as pre-processor variables in anari_version.h (included by anari.h)
  • New anariInfo tool to introspect object, parameter, and property info from a device
  • Big overhaul and new additions to code-generation tools, including generated device implementation infrastructure (see example here)
  • Enabled CI builds for Linux, macOS, and Windows via GitHub actions for all incoming PRs
