  Release history for the AI Habitat platform. AI Habitat publishes no hosted API and no prose changelog
  page; the dated change record is the GitHub Releases feed on the two primary repositories, which is
  where release notes are written. habitat-sim and habitat-lab are versioned in lockstep. No CHANGELOG.md
  exists in either repository root (both probed, 404).

entries:
- version: v0.3.4
  date: '2026-05-07'
  components: [habitat-sim, habitat-lab]
  breaking: false
  highlights:
  - habitat-sim: CUDA 13 build fix — replaced removed cudaDeviceProp computeMode/clockRate accesses with
      cudaDeviceGetAttribute queries that work on both CUDA 12 and 13.
  - habitat-sim: added missing type annotations to habitat_sim/utils/datasets_download.py for mypy.
  - habitat-lab HITL: XR controller support, XR reader application, XR origin get/set APIs, discovery
      server, sim-based driver, changed default port numbers.
  - habitat-lab: dataset processing tools for cross-engine support, including Collada transforms into
      the Habitat coordinate system.
  - habitat-lab: DebugVisualizer.peek() expanded to accept a bounding box as a target.
  note: >-
    Final maintained release. Both READMEs state that beyond v0.3.4 the project no longer receives
    official active development or maintenance by Meta internal teams.
- version: v0.3.3

  breaking: true
  highlights:
  - drawCoordinateAxes and drawCone added to the debug line renderer.
  - PARTNR data repositories added to the dataset downloader.
  - CI migrated from CircleCI to GitHub Actions; nightly conda deployment fixed.
  - Most Habitat libraries merged into a single library to remove circular dependencies.
  removals:
  - Removed the JS build, the WebGL demo build handling and related code.
  - Removed the C++ Agent and Controls classes.
  - Dropped the imageio-ffmpeg dependency.
- version: v0.3.3
  date: '2025-01-27'
  components: [habitat-lab]

  - HITL updated off deprecated Magnum mouse APIs.
- version: v0.3.2
  date: '2024-10-30'
  components: [habitat-sim, habitat-lab]
  breaking: false
  highlights:
  - habitat-sim: Simulator.reset() now restores objects to their original state from the scene instance.
  - habitat-sim: MarkerSets support in Object/Stage/ArticulatedObject configuration JSON plus bindings.
  - habitat-sim: raycast accuracy improved by buffering within-margin "ghost" hits.
  - habitat-lab: ArticulatedLink open/close API, default_link API, "next_to" spatial utility.
  - habitat-lab: ObjectStateSpec / ObjectStateMachine base classes and the Kinematic Relationship
      Manager, integrated with RearrangeSim.
- version: v0.3.1
  date: '2024-03-15'
  components: [habitat-sim, habitat-lab]
  breaking: false
  highlights:
  - habitat-sim: semantic region support — 2D polyloops with height extrusion to represent and query
      rooms/regions, with a Python-bound region query API.
  - habitat-sim: skinned meshes rendered with the PBR shader; panoptic/instance ID support added to the
      semantic sensor.
  - habitat-lab: Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) application introduced as the habitat-hitl package —
      client/server architecture, remote VR evaluation, headless HITL, GUI-controlled Spot.
  deprecations:
  - Colab notebooks deprecated in favour of local Jupyter notebooks.
- version: v0.3.0
  date: '2023-10-19'
  components: [habitat-sim, habitat-lab]
  breaking: true
  highlights:
  - 'Habitat 3.0: a co-habitat for humans, avatars and robots — multi-agent training, humanoid agents,
      the HSSD dataset, and a human-in-the-loop evaluation app for rearrangement tasks.'
  - habitat-sim rendering: PBR/IBL and an HBAO implementation via Magnum.
