• [Linux] CARLA_0.9.6.tar.gz
• [Linux] Town06_0.9.6.tar.gz
• [Linux] Town07_0.9.6.tar.gz

Highlights

• 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
