This is a major release because it introduces some breaking changes affecting everyone.

Breaking changes

#231 Change codebase to use ENU instead of NED

• From now on, all coordinates in the settings.json should be in ENU with x forward instead of NED with x forward. This relates to all x, y, z, roll, pitch, yaw and vertical & horizontal field of views. To upgrade a v1.x settings.json to a 2.x settings.json you have to switch all values on the Z axis (-1 becomes 1). For lidar, you also have to flip the the vertical field of view: upper becomes lower and lower becomes upper.
• From now on, yaw 0 means car facing east.. Before, yaw 0 meant car facing north.

Enhancements

• #237 Python api support! Added lot's of python examples and documented how to use it.
• #237 Removed is_valid from gps data as it was always set to true and nobody seems to know what it is meant to do.
• #237 Fix bug in lidar where horizontal FOV start and end were being inverted when the end is smaller then the start.
• #237 Simplified the training map into a all-empty map
• #237 Removed armDisarm api function as it was unimplemented, confusing and there are no plans to implement it.
• #226 #228 #230 #233 #234 #235 #244 Bunch of documentation improvements

Bugfixes

• #242 Stop simulation from crashing when resetting (using backspace) when a GSS is on the car.

Bugfix

• Reverted CompetitionMap3.umap to the version actually used during FSOnline competition. Previous committed version was a experiment that should have never ended up in git.

Enhancements

• Added the FSOnline competition maps
• #221 Improved the operator
• Spectator uses field of view of camera's and does not move when the camera is set to static.

Note: This version contains a wrong version of the CompetitionMap3. This is corrected in v1.4.1.*

Enhancements

• Added the 3 FSOnline Test competition maps
• #215 Longer finishline

Bugfixes

• Enable CCD on orange starting gate cones to fix #216 on orange cones
• #218 Fixed the bug where timestamp of all consecutive GO signals were equal to the first one.
• #217 Fix bug where lap-times not shown in spectator
• #220 Fix bug where first timed lap gave wrong number.

Bugfixes

• #210 #211 Hide decorations from lidar to improve performance.
• #212 #213 Stop cones from falling through the world
• Remove unused maps to make release files smaller. (This saves around 1 GB)
• Changed packaging settings to get better and smaller packages sizes.

Enhancements

• #202 Uprade the sinewave to be more robust and send finish signals
• #209 Hide spectator password from main menu
• #2016 Added FSOnline adverts into the competition maps

Bugfixes

#204 #208 Camera step size bug #203 Removed some ninjas

Enhancements

• #183 Added password authentication to spectator
• #190 #191 Some documentation improvements

Bugfixes

• #194 Fix compilation bug
• #192 Fix bug where game crashed immediatly when launching while skipping main menu

First release release! This version will be used during the FSOnline competition and is deemed to be competition-ready. If bugs are found before competition starts they will be fixed and a new release will be made.
