ADTF 3.8.0 Release Notes

ADTF 3.8.0 Summary

• Improvements in ADTF Configuration Editor
  • Copy and paste support for graph elements
  • Make Streaming Sources and Sinks available in Filter Graph
    • Easier to handle and greater flexibility and reusability
    • Makes Streaming Graph obsolete
    • We still recommend to separate your graphs but with Subgraphs in Filter Graph instead of Filter Graphs in Streaming Graphs
    • By default all about Streaming Graphs is now disabled/hidden and can be configured within Settings Editor (Options)
    • Using existing ADTF Sessions containing a ADTF Graph with a Streaming Graph will enable the support automatically
  • Extend Streaming Graph Editor / Filter Graph Editor with Graph Navigator
  • Option to define graph properties
  • Provide mechanism to include Filter Graph from existing ADTF Session as Subgraph, see Session Editor
• Common adaptions regarding SDK and delivered components
  • Add a Filter to dissect Samples of a Sample Stream into seperate Substreams (see Substream Dissector)
  • Correct connection establishment between adtf::streaming::ant::cFilterLevelmachine::StageNormal and adtf::streaming::ant::cFilterLevelmachine::StageGraphReady
    • You can change back to the old behaviour of the Session Manager by setting the ADTF_CONNECTION_CREATION_STATE environment variable to '2' (either in the System Editor or via your environment)
    • This must be done e.g. for 2D OpenGL Display and its Drawers and Sessions in ADTF Display Toolbox <= 3.5.0 and all other components using incorrect "old" behaviour
    • See also adtf::filter::hollow::cFilter::Init
• Documentation, Guides and examples extensions
  • Add a guide to show best practice regarding ADTF Session design
  • Add overview for shortcuts within ADTF Configuration Editor
• Upgrade our external base libraries
  • Upgrade to Qt 5.12.9
• Several improvements, stability and bugfixes, please refer to ADTF 3.8.0 Changelog
