v1.0.0

This major version release introduces a number of additions and some API changes.

• Python 3.11 is now supported, while Python 3.7 support has been dropped.
• The array of points returned from Camera.get_point_cloud now has dimensions (height, width, 3) rather than (width, height, 3), to match the other parts of the Camera API.
• The CollisionDetector API has now been changed so that an articulated robot is not required.
• A getJointInfo function wrapper has been added to the set of wrapped functions returning named tuples.
• Some minor bug fixes to the camera and ghost object examples.
• A number of tests have been added, and tox can be used to run them against the supported Python versions.

v0.3.1

This minor release fixes a bug with the named tuples, where not passing the physicsClientId argument by name to the underlying PyBullet functions caused unexpected behaviour. All arguments in the named tuple wrapper functions are now passed by name (i.e., as keyword arguments) to avoid this.

v0.3

Additions

• Added a convenience class BulletBody for easily creating rigid bodies.
• Added versions of some PyBullet functions that return named tuples instead of regular ones, for easy identification of fields by name.
• Added example scripts for both of the above new features.
• More examples and details in the README, including basic information on the quaternion functions provided.

Changes

• Everything you need should now be in the top-level pyb_utils import; no need to import submodules.
• scripts/ directory renamed to examples/.
• Deprecated GhostSphere; GhostObject.sphere should be used instead. GhostSphere will be removed in a future release.
• Adjusted some variable names and imports.
