Changes

• Upgrading to Unreal Engine 4.26
• CARLA now is built with Visual Studio 2019 in Windows
• Added Optical Flow camera
• Changed the resolution of the cached map in Traffic Manager from 0.1 to 5 meters
• Added generation attribute to vehicles and pedestrians
• Added Lincoln 2020 vehicle dimensions for CarSim integration
• Enabling the no_delay option to RPC and stream sockets
• CARLA is compatible with the last RoadRunner nomenclature for road assets
• The special nomenclature to define roads (ROAD_ROAD), sidewalks (ROAD_SIDEWALK)... can be at any position of the asset name
• Improved performance benchmark script: sync, map and sensor selection, ...
• Improved performance, destroyed PhysX state for vehicles when physics are disabled
• Improved parallelism of raycast sensors in system with large number of cores
• Improved manual_control: now cameras position are set in relation with car size
• Added 'visualize_multiple_sensors' example
• Added 'check_lidar_bb' util script
• Added optional flag to client.replay_file() replay_sensors to enable or disable the replaying the sensors
• Client required files are sent from the server to a local cache (OpenDRIVE, Traffic Manager...)
• Extended make import process for applying road painter materials (carla art tool)
• Added creation of custom JSON file for applying decals to imported roads
• Added CHRONO library for vehicle dynamics simulation (https://projectchrono.org/)
  • Supported JSON vehicle definition
  • Unsupported collision dynamics
• Added Large Map feature to CARLA, alowing to import large maps divided in square tiles (at most 2kmx2km per tile). Only section of a Large Map can be loaded at a time which introduces a sleep state for actors that are far away from the hero vehicle
• Added performance benchmarking section to documentation
• Added ApplyVehiclePhysicsControl to commands
• Added flush in the sublevel loading to increase carla's determinism in Opt maps
• Fixed import sumo_integration module from other scripts
• Fixed bug causing the RoadOptions at the BehaviorAgent to not work as intended
• Fixed a bug when importing a FBX map with some _ in the FBX name
• Fix bug in carla.Transform.get_up_vector()
• Fix bug in lidar channel point count
• Fix imu: some weird cases were given nan values
• Fix bugs in apply_physics_control and friction trigger
• Exposed tire parameters for longitudinal and lateral stiffness in the PhysicsControl.
• When setting a global plan at the LocalPlanner, it is now optional to stop the automatic fill of the waypoint buffer
• Improved agent's vehicle detection to also take into account the actor bounding boxes
• API extensions:
  • Added functions to traffic light actor get_effect_waypoints(), get_light_boxes() and get_opendrive_id()
  • Added functions to world get_traffic_lights_from_waypoint(), get_traffic_lights_in_junction and get_traffic_light_from_opendrive_id
  • Added parameters to WorldSettings: tile_stream_distance and actor_active_distance
  • Added parameters and functions to Osm2OdrSettings: proj_string, center_map, generate_traffic_lights, all_junctions_with_traffic_lights, set_osm_way_types, and set_traffic_light_excluded_way_types
  • Added function to enable car telemetry
  • Added set_wheel_steer_direction() function to change the bone angle of each wheel of a vehicle
  • Added get_wheel_steer_angle() function to get the steer angle of a vehicle wheel
  • Added scattering_intensity , mie_scattering_scale , rayleigh_scattering_scale to PythonAPI for changing weather attributes
  • Improved the python agents API. Old behaviors have been improved and new ones have also been added, improving the functionalities of the agents. Several bugs have also been fixed
