+# AliceVision Changelog
+
+## Release 2.0.0 (2018.08.09)
+
+Release of the full 3D reconstruction pipeline.
+
+### 2018.07
+
+ - New Docker images for Centos 7 and Ubuntu 18
+ - New "make bundle" for packaging
+ - Refactor split sfm / sfmData / sfmDataIO
+ - New visibility remapping methods: Push, PullPush
+ - Improve texturing quality with better image selection
+ - SfM support multiple folders for features and matches
+ - PopSiftImageDescriber: no initialization if not used
+ - Offline camera tracking improvements
+ - Export animated camera ABC
+ - Export undistorted images and filter option
+ - MeshroomMaya script integration Image Plane
+ - Minor fixes in cameraSensors DB search
+ - New fallback if no sensor width info available but FocalLengthIn35mmFilm metadata is present
+ - ImageMatchingMultiSfM: add “a_a+a_b” option
+
+### 2018.06
+
+ - SfM Augmentation: lock cameras from the initial reconstruction
+ - SfM: Add option in order to disable the cleaning of tracks forks
+
+### 2018.03
+
+ - Merge the MVS pipeline in the main branch
+ - New options for better auto UVs based on geogram (needs reasonable mesh size in input)
+ - Use full resolution images in the MVS pipeline: PrepareDenseScene creates full resolution undistorted images, DepthMap computes downscale when loading images and Texturing can be done in full resolution.
+ - New depth map fusion with a multi-scale approach (using nanoflann)
+ - ImageMatching: Fix conflict if multiple images with the same UID
+ - Add SIFT_UPRIGHT as an ImageDescriber
+
+## Release 1.0.0 (2018.03.07)
+
+Release of the Structure-From-Motion pipeline.
+
+### 2018.02
+
+ - Support Raw and Exr input files
+ - Texturing: add multithreading / clean iteration over pixels in triangle
+ - MVS: use UIDs
+ - Major MVS refactoring
+ - New Mesh Denoiser and Decimate based on MeshSDFilter
+ - Integration of Uncertainty computation step
+
+### 2018.01
+
+ - Meshing: Remove facets with helper points but limit holes creation
+ - Texturing: Don’t modify the topology
+ - Meshing: Add an option to keep only the largest facets group
+ - cmake: Geogram as a submodule of cmpmvs
+ - Update SfM
+ - Modify Image Matching
+ - SfM Reorientation software
+ - Use OpenMP for featureExtraction with a new imageDescriber memory needs estimation
+ - Rewrite “Identify the track to triangulate” in triangulateMultiViews_LORANSAC
+ - popSIFT directly on floating point images
+ - Use relative path for features and matches in SfM
+ - Remove cereal dependency
+ - Remove static functions in headers
+ - MVS: Add namespace per module

+ - Use floating point image in texturing
+
+### 2017.11
+
+ - New Local Bundle Adjustment to speedup SfM on large scenes
+ - Retexturing on an external user mesh with a retopology (no visibility information and support user UVs) with a first visibilities remapping method.
+ - Add new images to a previous SfM reconstruction
+ - Use OpenImageIO in SfM
+
+### 2017.10
+
+ - Reduce memory usage on Meshing
+
+### 2017.10
+
+ - SfM: Support for RIG of synchronized cameras/DSLR with a new constraint between rigidly fixed cameras

+
+ - MVS: Code comments and documentation
+ - MVS: Performance improvements
+ - Texturing: Fix UV coords
+ - MVS: Split Meshing and Texturing steps
+ - Texturing: Rewrite edge padding for performance reasons
+
+### 2017.01
+
+ - MVS: Linux code porting
+
+### 2016
+
+ - Integration of PopSift: a new GPU SIFT implementation
+ - SfM: Add LoRansac
