Version 0.8.1 (24 June 2026)

New features

  • Added the openstb.simulator.target.points.target_chunk_iterator helper function to iterate over chunks of point targets from multiple plugins. A similar function was previously part of the private code of the simple point simulation controller.

  • Added the openstb.simulator.util.quaternion_from_vectors1 function to calculate the quaternion needed to rotate one vector to another. A similar approach was previously used internally to the linear trajectory plugin.

Improvements

  • Add documentation on a number of plugin types.

  • Give a clearer error message if a local (unregistered) plugin could not be loaded. This is either because the specified module is not installed or specified file does not exist. Previously the error message was not obvious about the cause of failure.

Fixes

  • Updated some tests to work around regressions in external libraries.

  • Fixed some type hinting.

  • Hide test files from the test coverage report.
