Release Notes for HALCON 17.12 Progress

This document provides the release notes for MVTec HALCON 17.12 Progress, as released in December 2017.

Addendum to the Release Notes of HALCON 17.12

The originally released version of HALCON 17.12 had the following issues:

  • The HALCON library did not export the symbols for the functions dealing with 3D object models. This only affects the linking of image acquisition interfaces and extension packages handling 3D object models and the use of HALCON 13 image acquisition interfaces that support 3D object models.
  • HALCON’s deep-learning-based classification could not be used with the CUDA Toolkit Version 9.1 or higher. Note that we cannot guarantee that future CUDA versions can be used together with HALCON.

Therefore, the HALCON library 17.12 was replaced by an updated HALCON library 17.12.0.2.

To find out which version is currently installed, please open the dialog “Help->About” in HDevelop. The newest version of the HALCON library is indicated by: “HALCON version: 17.12.0.2 (18.12.2017)”. The file version of the HALCON library can also be checked with the following operator call: get_system(‘file_version’,FileVersion), or, under Windows, by inspecting the file properties of the files halcon.dll and halconxl.dll.
