New features

• From AXIS OS 11.5, an interface is added to VAPIX to control whether an Axis device only accepts root-privileged access for ACAP applications or not, improving the device’s security. For more information regarding the reasoning for this change, and its timeline, see the article on Developer Community.
• From AXIS OS 11.6, ACAP applications can acquire VAPIX service account credentials in runtime. With these credentials, the ACAP application can call a local virtual host to make VAPIX requests on the device. Read more in VAPIX access for ACAP applications - BETA.

Fixes

• The ACAP Computer Vision SDK examples are now using Docker Compose V2 since V1 is no longer receiving updates nor is it available in new releases of Docker Desktop. This means that the previous docker-compose that required separate installation has been replaced by docker compose which is part of the Docker client.

• armv7hf and aarch64, see images on Docker Hub

Compatibility

Supported products:

• All products with chipsets: ARTPEC-8, ARTPEC-7, ARTPEC-6, CV25, i.MX 6SoloX, i.MX 6ULL, S5L and S5.

Updates

• acap-build has now more granular build options to allow different build setups of ACAP applications. Run acap-build --help for more information. The new options are:
  • Skipping the build step (--build no-build).
  • Disabling manifest validation (--disable-manifest-validation).
  • Disabling package creation (--disable-package-creation).
