Release notes:

v19.0.0 - 2026-04-24

Highlights

• Add new first class citizen V4 PointCloudsComponent for native point clouds and PointCloudsSourceProtocol for unified

point cloud (native / lidar / radar) access. Support transformation of per-point attributes in a consistent way for invariant (no transformation) / direction-like (rotation only) and point-like (full transformation) attributes.

Mild breaking change only for data-converters having to provide the list of native point-clouds (similar to sensors) in ComponentGroupAssignments.create() (using an empty list will be sufficient for most cases - this is just to not deviate from the existing sensor conventions).

New point-cloud overlay rendering in ncore_vis (now supporting RGB attributes, if available)

• Add further .itar init performance improvements by re-using tail-buffer for lookup of compressed consolidated meta-data
