Sep 1, 2025September 2025 — hlrs-vis/covise: Delivered UDP data ingestion enhancements and targeted cleanup to improve reliability, performance, and maintainability of the UDP data path. Implemented a dedicated UDP listening channel (udpListen), refactored UDPComm initialization, and updated the update thread to prioritize the new listener. Performed code cleanup by removing debug prints and tightening wake/sleep timing for cleaner runtime behavior. These changes reduce data path latency, simplify future enhancements, and lower maintenance overhead.

Mar 1, 2025March 2025 monthly summary for hlrs-vis/covise. Focused on delivering shapefile support within the OpenCOVER plugin, enabling users to read and visualize Shapefiles via GDAL/OGR, render LineString trajectories, and toggle visibility in the UI. Also integrated shapefile processing into the build system by exposing the shapefile subdirectory in CMakeLists, enabling end-to-end workflows within the OpenCOVER plugin framework. The work enhances data interoperability, accelerates geospatial visualization, and strengthens Covise/OpenCOVER's extensibility.
