external-0.15.0:
- Updated to eigen 3.3.5
- Updated to json-spirit-4.08b (patched 4.08 to fix some gcc warnings)

MIRAenvironment-0.21.0:
- added miratape to the tools listed in documentation main page
- updated documentation of bash tools
- always using "-Wno-ignored-attributes" with precompiled headers
  (to avoid massive warning spam when combined with Eigen 3.3 and gcc >= 6)
- streamlined the documentation of MIRA requirements installation, added Ubuntu 18.04/Mint 19
- added definition of macro _FILE_NAME_, similar to standard macro __FILE__
  but valid for identifiers (invalid characters are replaced by '_')

MIRABase-0.44.0:
- documentation: fixed example for class versioning in serialization
- MetaSerializer: added CompoundMeta::insertMember() to add member at arbitrary position
- BinaryJSONConverter::JSONToBinary can tolerate missing '@version' elements in JSON data
  (will insert a specified default version into the binary stream)
- fixed default values not working for a member using delegate (getter, setter, ...) in its reflection
- added some path utility functions 
- STL associative containers now reflect their keys as read-only properties, so these can show up e.g. in PropertyEditor
- security component adapted to support OpenSSL 1.1.0
- compatiblity Eigen 3.3.5: made (previously implicit) conversions from scalar to Eigen::Rotation2D explicit
- limiting the linked OpenCV libs to those really needed: core, imgproc, imgcodecs
  (derived packages might need to link additional OpenCV libs themselves)
- added utility macros for generating unique and semi-unique identifiers/strings
- PathFinder::findFile(s)/findDirectory(s) works for absolute path inputs (returns the input argument if it exists)
- added Rect difference operator for 2D case (returning list of remaining rects)
- fixed JSONDeserializer getting knocked off while reading collection with pointer elements
- fixed json::write always doing formatted output, regardless of parameter 'formatted'
- method() declarations in reflection can now include documentation for method's parameters
- RPC methods store a sample JSON for each parameter (which can be used for user help in interactive RPC tools)
  (set environment variable MIRA_RPC_METHODS_REFLECT_NO_PARAMS_DOCUMENTATION to disable reflection of new method
   members, enabling undisturbed connection with a framework older than this)
- added JSONDefaultPrecision singleton, to control the precision of json::write() (without explicit precision argument)
- serialization format for std::map/multimap changed:
  - new standard format is sequence of pairs (items with First/Second members) 
  - XML(De)Serializer keeps interleaved key/item sequence format for config files backward compatibility
  - JSONSerializer can optionally export maps with string keys as objects (keys = member names)
  - JSONDeserializer can optionally import maps with string keys from either pair sequences OR objects (by default, it only reads pair sequences)
- fixed transform_cast always erasing covariance when both base type and dimension of source/target differs
- fixed XML(De)Serializer's handling of sequences in compressed format

MIRAFramework-0.41.0:
- updated Tape format and version history documentation
- automatic increase of storage duration when reading older channel data can be disabled
- minor changes to compile with gcc 7.3 (Linux Mint 19)
- compatiblity Eigen 3.3.5: made (previously implicit) conversions from scalar to Eigen::Rotation2D explicit
- added examples for framework-based test setup (verifying channel data) in examples/fw/IntPublisherSubscriber/
- exceptions during ConfigurationLoader plugin loading are caught and displayed, but do not quit the framework
- arbitrary exceptions in Framework initialization are caught and framework is cleanly finished, showing the exception
- fixed TapeRecorder potentially not storing past data until the next update on a recorded channel 
- added automatic channel promotion: channel types can be registered to automatically promote from untyped to typed
  (e.g. with remote connections or tape playback), based on typename (string), without requiring a typed subscriber
- Framework 'config-string' parameter enforces enclosing <root> tag
- renamed Framework option 'save_processed_config' to 'save-processed-config' for consistency
- ServiceProperty now (de)serializes completely, including the required service interface (as member),
  ServiceProperty(const std::string&) constructor is explicit 
- parameters are documented for all RPC service methods
- added explicit cast of ChannelReadInterval<T>::const_iterator to ChannelReadInterval<T>::IntervalList::const_iterator to expose iterator of ChannelRead<T>
- added Framework parameter '--default-output-precision' (requiring uint argument) to control precision of JSON floating-point output
- added Authority::waitForChannel()
- removed deprecated methods MicroUnit::onStart/onStop/OnInitialization, Unit::process()

MIRAgui-0.39.0:
- TapePlayerWidget: negative offsets in current/last playing time are treated as 0 for display purposes
- TapeRecorderWidget: Fixed sometimes blocking file dialogs which occured on CentOS 7.5 with Qt 5.9
- EditorPartWindows (Visualizations, PythonEditor....) can be set to be always on top in editor window stack
- Visualization3DView on mouse events determines the device pixel ratio and provides it with the call to the active tool
- fixed wheelEvents zooming in 2DView/3DView also propagating to scroll the parent editor area with QT > 5.5(?)
- VisualizationView: Fixed sometimes blocking file dialogs which occured on CentOS 7.5 with Qt 5.9
- fixed some views opening file selection dialogs on keyboard shortcuts despite not providing any functionality
- TextTrace view: added CSV export (accessible via context menu or Ctrl-P)
- TextTrace view: can optionally display items in timestamp order instead of add order (order of channel callbacks)
- compatiblity Eigen 3.3.5: made (previously implicit) conversions from scalar to Eigen::Rotation2D explicit
- fixed PolygonObject::setColor() to set the polygon outline color (same as before version 0.38.0)
- implemented option to use camera perspective in camera view
- VisualizationTool base class got additional mouse event handlers taking the device pixel ratio (support for high-DPI scaling). Tools which need to
  consider the device pixel ratio (e.g. required for relating event coordinates to content of a QGLWidget) must implement these methods.
- Interact tool and tools based on SceneQueryTool (Measure, Localize, Goal, ...) respect device pixel ratio (therefore work with high-DPI scaling)
- fixed a bug that hinders proper hiding of X and Z axis on the change of axis visibility
- ImgWidget: in AutoScale mode, displayed image is re-scaled whenever the widget size changes
- removed use of deprecated (and irrelevant) QStyleOptionViewItemV3
- fixed QSplashScreen continuously calling close() (which was disturbing all tooltips with QT >= 5.6)
- QtUtils::getSaveFileName can optionally enforce that only certain file extensions are selected
- PropertyEditor 'Open' dialog for path (folder/directory) properties now behaves as for file properties
  (see 0.38.0) and uses mira FileOpenDialog wrapper
