Known Issues:

• Moving average quaternions sometimes bugs out over time, obvious with extended spine model enabled (waist sticks out backwards).
  • Some correlation to yaw reset as many have reported experiencing this issue directly after.
• Serial may not be functioning completely on Android. This is an older issue before this release, but still happens now.
  • Sometimes only works after rebooting device or app, only functioning once.

RC Testing:

1. Android build does not crash.
   • Fix ktor crashing because proguard minifies for Android #1240
2. VMC functions the same as previous releases.
   • Finger tracking skeleton and VMC support #1091
3. VRM can be imported and removed.
   • Improve VRM model file input #1246
4. Hips work as expected and do not have a tilt directly after a full reset.
   • Potentially fix weird hip issues #1244
5. AutoBone doesn't hit the error limit with intended usage (target ~0.012 error).
   • AutoBone bone contribution fix & cleanup #1249
   • Don't filter non-temporal trackers #1255
6. LINUX: AppImage doesn't crash.
   • Fix Appimage crashing for people #1253
7. Firmware tool is able to build and flash firmware on DIY trackers.
   • Firmware tool #880
8. Firmware tool is able to update firmware on official trackers successfully.
   • Automatic firmware update for official trackers #1241
9. Serial functions the same as previous releases.
   • Should be fine, but firmware tool changes may have broken something? Make sure all serial functionality still works as expected.
10. Moving average quaternions don't bug over time, obvious with extended spine model enabled (waist sticks out backwards).
    • Finger tracking skeleton and VMC support #1091
    • Potentially fix weird hip issues #1244
    • Don't filter non-temporal trackers #1255

13. The latest log's content is up-to-date with the current console output.
    • Improve log file behaviour #1262
14. LINUX: SolarXR IPC socket functions as expected with Monado.
    • SolarXR IPC Socket #1247
15. Skeleton height config allows measuring the headset height and floor height, validating that the height is above 0.4m.
    • Expand skeleton height config #1156
16. Skeleton height config allows setting the height manually when no headset tracker is present, validating that the entered height is above 0.4m.
    • Expand skeleton height config #1156
17. Skeleton height config loads previously configured values, validating that the configured height is above 0.4m.
    • Expand skeleton height config #1156
18. Skeleton constraints function as intended, affecting only the skeleton when correction is disabled and affecting a tracker's orientation when correction is enabled.
    • Skeleton Constraints #1222
19. Skeleton constraints can be enabled and disabled.

I would like to target it end of December. At least have a RC...

And I really want the new onboarding too.

We can try for December RC, I have a feeling we won't be able to get past RC for December though

btw why not use checkboxes for the PR list? it will check the box when it gets merged or closed

I like the list because it keeps it very clear and separated (and in merge order), if a checkbox list would be better then I can do that

[ImUrX]

Nah, i dont mind either of them, just less burden on having to edit the page when we merge imo

[ImUrX]

#1234 requires merge of firmware first also, i think thats how we should merge firmware-dependent PRs for now

[FluffyOMC]

List needs updated for #1269 merge
