First major release in way too long! Includes critical bug fixes for Orange Pi object detection crashing/showing no stream/heartbeat freezing, and a new base Orange Pi image. The new base image boots faster without networking and includes other improvements.
[!IMPORTANT]
Teams with Orange Pis will need to reflash using the v2024.3.0 image. Make sure to export your settings (and keep a backup somewhere safe) prior to doing this. If you've got a spare SD card, try to flash it instead so you've got a known-good hot-spare.
[!IMPORTANT]
The Orange Pi NetworkManager interface name changed to "netplan-zz-all-eth" -- make sure to have this selected in the dropdown
[!NOTE]
Teams not using Orange Pi's probably don't need to update, and base images have not changed so a reflash is not required.

IMPORTANT
Releases 2024.1.1 through 2024.1.3 have been removed. There was a bug which caused the photonlib .jar file to be 10x its normal size.

This is the first full release for the 2023 FRC Game, Charged Up!
Users must completely reimage / reinstall PhotonVision on their coprocessors for this release due to the amount of changes from previous releases.
Minimum system requirements have changed for 2023. WPILib / PhotonVision now requires 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 or Ubuntu 22.04. We have dropped support for older platforms including Windows 7, Ubuntu 20.04, and macOS 10.15.

This includes a number of minor fixes over the previous beta release. This will be used for manual testing and should not be substituted for the first full release, which should come in a couple of days.
