Release 0.9.6 created by nsubiron on 12 July 2019, 17:40:31 UTC 
ARLA 0.9.6

  * Upgraded to Unreal Engine 4.22
  * Added Vulkan support, if installed, CARLA will use Vulkan, use `-opengl` flag to launch with OpenGL
  * The simulator is now compiled in "Shipping" mode, faster but it accepts less command-line arguments
  * Pedestrians are back:
    - Spawn pedestrians that will roam randomly on sidewalks
    - The script 'spawn_npc.py' spawns now pedestrians, adjust the number with the flag `-w`
    - Added navigation meshes for each maps for pedestrian navigation
  * Allow adding custom props (FBX) to CARLA Blueprint library so they are spawnable
  * Simplified pipeline for importing and packaging maps and custom props
  * Vehicle physics:
    - Added access to vehicle transmission details
    - Added access to vehicle physics brake values
    - Added tire friction trigger boxes for simulating slippery surfaces
  * Added camera gamma correction as command-line argument to manual_control.py
  * Added ability to set motion blur settings for RGB camera in sensor python blueprint
  * Added C++ client example using LibCarla
  * Added PythonAPI documentation generator, we documented in detail all the Python reference
  * Added a new Python script config.py that allows the user to configure the simulator from the command-line
  * New recorder features:
    - Documented recorded system and binary file
    - Added optional parameter to show more details about a recorder file (related to `show_recorder_file_info.py`)
    - Added playback speed (slow/fast motion) to the replayer
    - Allow custom paths for saving the recorded files
    - More data is now recorded to replay animations:
      + Wheels of vehicles are animated (steering, throttle, handbrake), also bikes and motorbikes
      + Walker animations are simulated (through speed of walker)
  * New high quality pedestrians: female, girl and boy; improved meshes and textures
  * More color and texture variations for each pedestrian
  * New vehicle Audi Etron: 25.000 tris and LODs
  * New material for Mustang, new system that will allow us to improve all the vehicle materials
  * Improved vehicle Tesla
  * New high-quality "Default" weather tailor-made for each map
  * Improved the rest of weather profiles too
  * RGB camera improvements:
    - Enabled temporal antialiasing and motion blur
    - Added gamma value and motion blur as a blueprint attributes
    - Enabled texture streaming for scene captures
  * API changes:
    - Renamed `frame_count` and `frame_number` as `frame`, old members are kept as deprecated
    - `world.wait_for_tick()` now returns a `carla.WorldSnapshot`
    - The callback of `world.on_tick(callback)` now receives a `carla.WorldSnapshot`
    - Deprecated waypoint's `is_intersection`, use `is_junction` instead
  * API extensions:
    - Added attachment type "SpringArm" for cinematic cameras
    - Added waypoint's `junction_id` that returns de OpenDrive identifier of the current junction
    - Added `world.get_actor(id)` to find a single actor by id
    - Added `carla.WeatherParameters.Default` for the default (tailor-made for each town) weather profile
    - Added `WorldSnapshot` that contains a list of `ActorSnapshot`, allows capturings a "still image" of the world at a single frame
    - Added `world.tick()` now synchronizes with the simulator and returns the id of the newly started frame
    - Added `world.apply_settings(settings)` now synchronizes with the simulator and returns the id of the frame when the settings took effect
    - Added `world.remove_on_tick(id)` to allow removing on tick callbacks
    - Added allow setting fixed frame-rate from client-side, now is part of `carla.WorldSettings`
    - Added `is_invincible` to walkers
  * Several optimizations to the RPC server, now supports a bigger load of async messages
  * Updated DebugHelper to render on Shipping packages, it has also better performance
  * Updated OpenDriveActor to use the new Waypoint API
  * Removed deprecated code and content
  * Exposed waypoints and OpenDrive map to UE4 Blueprints
  * Change the weight of cars. All cars have been compared with the real to have a feedback more real
  * Recorder fixes:
    - When a recorded session finish replaying, all vehicles will continue in autopilot, and all pedestrians will stop
    - Fixed a possible crash if an actor is respawned before the episode is ready when a new map is loaded automatically
    - Actors at start of playback could interpolate positions from its current position instead than the recorded position
    - Camera following in playback was not working if a new map was needed to load
    - API function 'show_recorder_file_info' was showing the wrong parent id
    - Script 'start_recording.py' now properly saves destruction of actors at stop
    - Problem when vehicles enable autopilot after a replayer, now it works better
  * Fixed dead-lock when loading a new map in synchronous mode
  * Fixed get_actors may produce actors without parent
  * Fixed std::bad_cast when importing other libraries, like tensorflow, before carla
  * Fixed latitude in WGS84 reprojection code such that Latitudes increase as one move north in CARLA worlds
  * Fixed walking animations, the animations now go at the same speed as the game
  * Fixed loading and reloading world not using the timeout
  * Fixed XODR files can be found now anywhere in content
  * Fixed bug related with Pygame error of surface too large, added sidewalks and improved lane markings in `no_rendering_mode.py`
  * Fixed Lidar effectiveness bug in manual_control.py
  * Fixed wrong units in VehiclePhysicsControl's center of mass
  * Fixed semantic segmentation of bike riders
  * Fixed inconsistent streetlights in Town03
  * Fixed incorrect vehicle bounds
