This is a hotfix release addressing a few critical issues that might result in crashes or malfunctions for users of the low-level SenseGlove API, backported from the next major release of the plugin as documented below.
- Fix a potential memory corruption inside one of the SGBasicHandModel constructors where the StartPositions parameter gets passed as the StartRotations parameter to lower levels of the API.
- Fix a potential memory corruption inside one of the SGSenseGloveInfo constructors where the StartPositions parameter gets passed as the Functions parameter to lower levels of the API.
- Fix a potential memory corruption where inside the SGHapticGloveCalibrationSequence::GetCurrentInstruction method, the return statement of the function is getting assigned to the const parameter NextStepKey, thus the return statement of the function will always be empty as well.
- Fix a potential memory corruption where inside one of the overloads of the SGSenseGloveImpl::GetGlovePose method, the out parameter of the method is getting passed as the SensorData parameter to the lower levels of the API.
- Fix multiple Equals methods for a few classes such as SGInterpolationSet, SGNovaGloveHandProfile, SGNovaGloveInfo, SGSenseGloveHandProfile, SenseGloveInfo, SenseGlovePose, where the Equal method compares the current instance against itself instead of the other instance passed to as the parameter to the method.
- Add the missing Unreal Engine C++ header to files that rely on the ENGINE\_\*\_VERSION macros in order to fix the Epic Store build failures on UE 5.3.
- The BlueprintImplementableEvent UFUNCTION specifier for the OnGrabStateUpdated, OnTouchStateUpdated, OnActorGrabbed, OnActorReleased, OnActorBeginTouch, and OnActorEndTouch events have been changed to BlueprintNativeEvent in order to allow them to be implemented from the child C++ classes as well. This won't break any existing Blueprint code that relies on the previous BlueprintImplementableEvent signature.
- Introduced new SGPawn events: OnActorGrabbed, OnActorReleased, OnActorBeginTouch, and OnActorEndTouch.
- Exposed OnGrabStateUpdated, OnTouchStateUpdated, OnActorGrabbed, OnActorReleased, OnActorBeginTouch, and OnActorEndTouch events to Blueprint as BlueprintImplementableEvent.
### Fixed
- Fix a bug where the OnTouchStateUpdated event is mistakenly triggered instead of the OnGrabStateUpdated when the right thumb fingertip grab collider overlaps with a grabbable actor.
- Added SG_CPP20 C++ macro for C++20 detection, which is now default from UE 5.3 onwards.
- Added SG_CAPTURE_THIS C++ macro as a workaround for error C4855: implicit capture of 'this' via '[=]' is deprecated in /std:c++20 in order to build the same lambda captures without extra #ifdefs on all supported engine versions.
This is a hotfix release mostly addressing Android-related issues.
### Fixed
- Fix a build issue with Android shipping builds due to sgconnect.jar not getting copied automatically in the AFSProject which is compiled for shipping builds when AndroidFileServer (AFS) is enabled.
- Minor changelog fixes and some source code formatting fixes.
- Added support for the Meta Quest Pro, HTC VIVE, and HTC VIVE Focus 3 positional tracking hardware.
- Added two options to the wrist tracker settings (to the global plugin settings and the overrides in the wrist tracker component) in order to be able to specify a custom motion source for the left and right hands, so that it allows SteamVR-based trackers such as HTC VIVE or HTC VIVE Focus 3 to operate with the SGPawn.
- Dropped support for the Epic Native Toolchain v19, MSVC v141 (Visual Studio 2017), and thus Unreal Engine 4.27 as it has been marked as deprecated since v1.4.x.
This is a hotfix release addressing a critical Android crash.
### Fixed
- Fix a critical Android crash that happens where the default development hand meshes are not found, which means almost always since we don't ship any default virtual hand mesh at the moment.
- Added an optional feature in order to automatically stop all haptics on the EndPlay event, wherever the virtual hand component is used. By default, it's enabled.
- The Virtual Hand and the Wrist Tracker debug gizmos (the intended use is only for SenseGlove developers for really low-level stuff; thus won't affect the users of the plugin at all) have been disabled and will be ignored due to an esoteric bug in the settings systems which has been scheduled to be fixed in the future releases.
- This is the last release to support Unreal Engine 4.27 and please keep in mind that the current release is not obtainable through the Unreal Engine Marketplace. The latest published version on the Marketplace for 4.27 is v1.3.1. Per Epic's Marketplace policy regarding Code Plugins, we are only able to distribute or update the SenseGlove plugin for the last 3 stable versions of Unreal Engine. As a result, we won't be able to publish updates or bug fixes for the older versions of the Engine except on rare occasions and only through our official repository on Microsoft Azure DevOps.
This release breaks ABI/API compatibility with the previous versions in addition to breaking coordinates systems conversions between Unreal Engine and the SenseGlove libraries.
- Fix the wrist tracker miscalculations for the Quest 2 controllers (other headsets might need fixing as well, in that case, future releases will address that).
- Introduced the animated Virtual Hand Model (as a set of virtual hand and wrist tracker components and an actor) with in-editor animation availability.
- Exposed SenseGloveTypes as a public dependency in SenseGloveConnect and SenseGloveCore modules, so that the C++ users of the API don't need to explicitly add it as a dependency.
- Cleaned up the redundant headers/modules dependencies from SGCore headers.
