• Added support for left-handed traffic maps
• Renamed Ubuntu 18-based Dockerfile to CarlaLegacy for clarity
• Created documentation for using devcontainers
• Ensured CARLA scripts consistently use python3
• Replaced wget with curl for FBX SDK downloads
• Enabled mounting of UE4 from the host when running CARLA inside a container
• Added support for GUI inside containers with Ubuntu 22 image
• Fixed waypoint.next and .previous causing loops when two opposite-direction lanes follow each other in the map.
• Fixed a bug that caused navigation information not to be loaded when switching maps
• Prevent from segfault on failing SignalReference identification when loading OpenDrive files
• Added vehicle doors to the recorder
• Added functions to get actor' components transform
• Added posibility to Digital Twins to work with local files (osm and xodr)
• Enable proper material merging for Building in Digital Twins
• Added functions to get actor' bones transforms
• Added functions to get actor' bones and components names
• Added functions to get actor' sockets transforms
• make PythonAPI Windows: Fixed incompatibility issue with Anaconda due py command.
• Added function to get actor' sockets names
• Fixed bug in python agents when vehicle list was empty causing a check on all vehicles (BasicAgent.py) and detected pedestrians as vehicles if no pedestrains are present (BehaviourAgent.py)
• Extended debug drawing functions to allow drawing primitives on HUD layer
• Added possibility to change gravity variable in imui sensor for the accelerometer
• Fixed ROS2 native extension build error when ROS2 is installed in the system.
• ROS2Native: Force fast-dds dependencies download to avoid build crash when boost_asio and tinyxml2 are not installed in Linux.
• Added API function get_telemetry_data to the vehicle actor.
• PythonAPI Sensor.is_listening was defined twice (property and method), cleaned and clarified it as a method.
• Added V2X sensors for cooperative awareness message and custom user-defined messages to support vehicle-to-vehicle communication
• Added named tuples for BasicAgent.py's detection result to allow for type-hints and better semantics.
• Added type-hint support for the PythonAPI
• Added type-hints to GlobalRoutePlanner and use carla.Vector3D code instead of pre 0.9.13 numpy code.
• If available, use ActorIDs instead of Unreal Engine IDs for instance segmentation
• Synchronized actor BoundingBox between server and client
• Add actor_id to bounding boxes
• Fixed invisible terrain in instance segmentation
• Importing from carla.command is now possible
• carla.ad subpackages are now directly importable and are not directly importable anymore (e.g. import ad)
• Fixed segfault in traffic manager when trying to access not available vehicles
• Fixed invalid comparission in python examples/rss
• Updated inverted traffic PythonAPI example script, added support for waypoint-guided Inverted AI cars.
• Fixed invisible spline meshes in instance segmentation
• Set to default Visual Studio 2022 in Windows
• Added env CARLA_CACHE_DIR to be able to set CARLA CACHE location
• Support of masked materials in instance segmentation, resulting in fine-grained annotations on e.g. leaves or fences (as in semantic segmentation)
• Added API function world.set_annotations_traverse_translucency and implemented functionality to configure, whether depth and semantic + instance segmentation traverse translucent materials or not.
• Fixed frame, timestamp and transform of SensorData not matching to the actually sent image for camera sensors.
• Added "geolocation_to_transform" function to the Map object in the PythonAPI
• Add support for NVIDIA NuRec 25.07 (CARLA-NuRec 0.2)
• Added set_wheel_pitch_angle() to change the bone pitch angle of each wheel of a vehicle

Thank you and congratulations 🎉.

The Hyperlink texts need to be updated from 0.9.15 to 0.9.16 :)
