Release Notes#

June 17, 2026
New
Added an exemplary pipeline configuration for NPU decode-and-inference (pallet_defect_detection pipeline using
1VA-API H.264decode and gvadetect targeting the NPU device).
Improved
Updated the base Docker image from
intel/dlstreamer:2025.2.0-ubuntu22tointel/dlstreamer:2026.0.0-ubuntu24. The default published image is now Ubuntu 24.Updated the bundled OpenVINO Python package to 2026.0.0.
Replaced hardcoded render group IDs (109, 110, 992) in all Docker Compose files with a single configurable
RENDER_GIDenvironment variable, simplifying GPU/NPU device access across different host operating systems.Improved Swagger/OpenAPI documentation formatting and readability for all REST API endpoints.
Graceful GStreamer pipeline shutdown: pipelines now terminate cleanly with improved shutdown logging.
Fixed
Fixed a memory leak in the
latency_timesdictionary where per-pipeline entries accumulated indefinitely.Replaced the
x264enc H.264encoder withopenh264encin the WebRTC streaming path, removing a GPL-licensed codec dependency.
