🌟 Summary

The v8.3.98 release focuses on improving Java dependency handling for Sony IMX export, enhancing compatibility, and refining several other features across the Ultralytics ecosystem.

📊 Key Changes

• Java Dependency Update:
  • Updated Dockerfile to use default-jre instead of specific Java versions for Sony IMX export.
  • Enforced Java version 17 or higher for compatibility during the export process.
• Bug Fixes and Improvements:
  • Fixed color consistency in YOLO8 LibTorch C++ inference by ensuring padding uses RGB values.
  • Resolved a YOLO-NAS post-processing issue, aligning it with the broader Ultralytics framework.
  • Improved handling of keypoints in pose models to mark out-of-bounds keypoints as invisible instead of clipping.
• Documentation Enhancements:
  • Updated contribution guidelines for clarity and compliance with licensing.
  • Enhanced README files across examples and integrations for better usability.

🎯 Purpose & Impact

• 🛠 Simplified Java Setup: Using default-jre reduces installation complexity and ensures smoother Sony IMX export processes.
