Release Notes
V8.0.0 (March 5, 2026)
The Triton Foor-LOC V8.0.0 release introduces the functionality to assign a name to a map, provides the time to find a match to the user and improved integration documentation for ROS and ROS2 users.
New features
Map name
Functionality to create new maps and rename them using a string value
Allows the user to manage maps across operations more easily
Match duration
Added match duration to drift correction message and drift correction user logs
Allows the user to get more accurate localization by compensating for the match duration
Improvements
Integration guide for ROS/ROS2 has been moved to their respective Gitlab repositories
Resolved issues
Line follower mode
Fixed issue where Line Follower mode would not work correctly with Multi-Area functionality
ARAMS logs
Improved precision in external reference logs to four decimal digits
Compatibility
Map handling
(Multi)Area functionality is now called (Multi)Map and replaced the integer identifier with string-based values
No longer automatically loads an active map (previously known as area)
Map summary requests during mapping mode are ignored
Removed map subset functionality
Map merge and -update functionality is moved to separate tool in SDK
Sensor behavior
No longer automatically boots with localization mode enabled
Buffered Recover Mode now requires localization mode to be enabled
Line Following Mode now requires localization mode to be enabled
Removed 'Compensated Drift Corrections' (ROS/ROS2 driver uses 'match duration' to compensate, C++ pose manager example implementation to be added in future release)
ARAMS logs
External reference logs now store system clock timestamps instead of steady clock
For unstamped external references (clocksync disabled), the timestamp field in the external reference logs remains empty
Diagnostics
Reindexed existing warnings (due to removal of “low throughput” warnings)
API
Struct ExternalReferencePose time_offset field (clocksync disabled) is no longer optional
Removed FileTransferTaskProgressCallbackfrom file transfer callbacks (SendMap, GetRecordings, UpdateSensor)
Fields from drift correction message (pose delta/error, cumulative translation/rotation)
Known limitations & issues
Sent Created Signature messages are delayed, while the system timestamp is correct. When clock synchronization is enabled, the provided timestamp is used and correct. Without clock synchronization, typically the provided timestamp is replaced by the host timestamps, which would be wrong.
Making requests that involve the active map (queries and alterations) while mapping or continuous signature updating is enabled can crash the sensor. This will not be supported and requests will be ignored in the future.
Configuring the search radius such that over 200.000 signature are loaded in memory can crash the sensor.
