vars-annotation 0.5.1

Apple continues to make changes to Gatekeeper, which can cause VARS to crash. This release contains a fix for access to macOS cameras and video capture hardware.

vars-annotation 0.5.0

Changes in this release:

• Preferences allow a user to set a custom time in milliseconds to jump forward or back in a video for keyboard commands. Previously this value was hard-coded at one second. The mini-jump key command will jump forward/back 1/10th of this value.
• Fixed a bug introduced by JavaFX upgrade that occurred when searching for an association.
• Added a button to allow users to delete durations that may have been set on individual annotations.

vars-annotation 0.4.1

This release adds support for annotation localization (e.g. drawing bounding boxes on video) via Cthulhu. Documentation for this is here

Bounding boxes are being stored as an Association with the following structure:

• mime_type: application/json
• link_name: bounding box
• to_concept: self
• link_value:

{
  "x" : 32,
  "y": 120,
  "width": 100,
  "height": 200
}

The x, y, width and height have units of pixels in image coordinates. Image coordinates have an origin (0, 0) at the upper left corner. +x is right, +y is down. The pixels are values from the original un-scaled video.

vars-annotation 0.3.22

This release addresses a bug that caused the JVM to crash when grabbing framegrabs from video tape (See JIRA M3-15). The source of the crash was a change in Apple's security policy for apps that need access to framecapture hardware or cameras. This also sets the app version number correctly, which was not happening in v0.3.21. When you try to capture a frame for the first time, a Mac dialog will appear asking for permission to access camera’s. Be sure to allow the permission, you should only see this dialog once.

vars-annotation 0.3.20

This is a bug fix release. It address an intermittent bug where clicking the add sample button displayed a dialog without the list of sampling equipment. See https://mbari1.atlassian.net/browse/M3-10

vars-annotation 0.3.19

This addresses a bug that occurred when copying an existing index (imagedMoment), that would generate duplicates. See https://mbari1.atlassian.net/browse/M3-52

JavaFX was updated from 11 to 13

vars-annotation 0.3.18

Added fields to the macOS native capture library to address recent crashes we've experienced when accessing video capture hardware devices. If you're working with video files this change does not affect you. See vars-avfoundation 0.2.3

vars-annotation 0.3.17

VCR communication was broken after the upgrade to Java 11. This release restores support for RS422 control of VCR decks. See:

• https://mbari1.atlassian.net/browse/M3-15
• https://mbari1.atlassian.net/browse/M3-21

vars-annotation 0.3.14

This fixes a regression of a bug that was fixed in 0.3.12 but was re-introduced in 0.3.13 (Note to self, don't forget to merge branches next time 👍 )

vars-annotation 0.3.13

This fixes a bug that occurred when trying to create a new user the application.
