Note that future releases past 1.18 will require a C++17-compatible compiler.

SIMDIS SDK changes since version 1.17

New Features

CMake variables BUILD_SIMDATA, BUILD_SIMVIS, BUILD_SIMUTIL, and BUILD_SIMQT have been added, to optionally disable the build of these modules.
Platform Preference overrideColorCombineMode lets users choose how override color contributes to model color. Choose between multiply (the default) and replace.
Platforms with no orientation and/or no velocity are now supported.
Wbp OSG Plugin added, to read .wbp extensions as WebP files. Depends at runtime on the osgEarth .webp OSG plugin.
simCore::RowReader is a new class built on simCore::CsvReader to read and refer to CSV content by column title.
simCore::Units various family constants deprecated, in favor of identically named constants in simCore namespace.
simQt::MultiTouchEventFilter is a Qt event filter that forwards raw touch events to the OSG GraphicsWindow's event queue, intending to circumvent osgQt's touch behavior.
simQt::StartupLayoutManager::unregisterTask() added so that a task can be unregistered.
simUtil::GestureProcessor is a new class that reads multi-touch events and generates gesture analysis per touch update.
simUtil::MouseDispatcher base class now includes methods for receiving and processing touch events, touchBegan, touchMoved, and touchEnded. MouseManipulatorAdapter by default will repackage touch events as mouse click events.
simVis::LambdaOsgCallback replaces simVis::NodeUpdateCallback as a more generic method for adding callbacks to nodes.

simData::DataTable::TableObserver no longer causes a crash, if the table observer removes itself mid-callback.
simData::TableManager::ManagerObserver no longer causes a crash, if the manager observer removes itself mid-callback.
simQt::BoundBooleanSetting::setValue() no longer causes bound QActions to incorrectly emit triggered() signals.
