AICA Core v4.3.1

[domire8]

Version 4.3.1 of AICA Core is a small update that further enhances the application editing experience in Studio with several small features and quality of life improvements. Starting from this version, AICA Core records anonymized usage statistics for monitoring and diagnostics. This update also supports application schema 2-0-3 with additional hardware properties.

AICA Studio

This version makes many improvements to the application editing experience. Among the new features in the application graph are a greatly improved array parameter editor, feedback on signal and event edge connection compatibility, and larger event trigger buttons with feedback on click. Additionally, the 3D view now has a "Save Frame" feature that enables easily capturing TFs into the application at runtime.

Features

• New input modal for easier editing and reordering of array parameters
• Reject invalid connection attempts for incompatible signal types
• Update signal connection handle style on hover depending on compatibility
• Show toast notification with incompatibility warning on invalid connection attempt
• Update graph mini-map and controls to match the layout
• Enhance hardware and dynamic component titles with styling improvements
• Improve trigger button interactivity and feedback
• Add hover animation to graph nodes
• Update to application schema 2-0-3
• Persist all hardware properties in the application YAML
• Allow zooming out further in the graph

Fixes

• Properly handle the content type of API responses
• Allow proper text selection in graph tooltips
• Avoid stacking components on top of each other when adding more than two instances to the graph
• Client side error when deleting certain controller event edges
• Fix the draggable top margin of components in edit mode

API

This version adds basic anonymous analytics to the API server. A new analytics manager records and reports core session events (core version, signed packages, and session duration) to a cloud storage endpoint.

Event Engine

This update adds better configurability to hardware interfaces through the Event Engine. The main feature is the ability to set a TF prefix and base frame to a hardware interface by parsing additional properties newly introduced in the application schema as of version 2-0-3. Note that this feature does not prefix all hardware properties such as GPIOs or other interfaces and is intended for advanced users.
