Release notes¶
IMPORTANT:
We plan to remove support for VS 2015 and add support for VS 2019 in HPS 2022 SP2.
The OpenGL1 driver has been removed. We encourage Visualize users to upgrade to DirectX 11, OpenGL 2, or OpenGL2Mesa for software-only rendering.
Windows 32-bit support is now considered deprecated. This means we plan to remove support in the near future. We urge our partners to discontinue use of this platform as soon as possible. We will not fix defects related to Windows 32-bit.

Functional changes¶
Extent culling. We have fixed a bug with extent culling so that single-point shells will now correctly respect the culling settings. Previously, culling was not applied to single-point shells. In some applications this may result in a significant behavioral change where markers or point clouds comprised of single-point shells will be culled. If you do not want single-point shells to be culled, disable extent culling.
Known issues¶
Samples app. The hps_samples demo app does not work on MacOS.
