• CUDA-enabled librealsense to fallback when running on host without CUDA-GPU
• Fix Self calibration python script got error for D455
• Fix D457 Y8i Left IR Image Corrupted
• D405 can’t start color streaming as YUYV format under ROS2
• Wrong color VFOV in rs-enumerate-devices
• Depth MIPI metadata - correct order of HW timestamp and sensor timestamp
• D455 Fix Depth AE abnormal while RGB streaming is on
• Fix MIPI mode over exposure at outdoor sunlight
• Change D455 RO of 15fps to the RO of 30fps [Purple corner issue]
• D405 RGB image is dark if start Color streaming only
• wrong color VFOV in rs-enumerate-devices
• INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE or nullptr causes invalid entries in device list and infinite loop or crash

⁽¹⁾ Please refer to the Release Notes for known issues
⁽²⁾ Non-LTS Ubuntu kernels with manual patches, check build from source instructions
⁽³⁾ There is 50% probability of up to 80% frame drops with Windows 11 builds 22621.3296 and 22631.3296 (KB5035853). Windows 10 RS5 or Win 11 KB5030219 (OS Build 22621.2283) do not have any frame drops
⁽⁴⁾ This is compilable, but not validated
⁽⁵⁾ Due to a known issue with Android 10 the Depth cameras may not be recognized by some ROM/Platform vendors.
⁽⁶⁾ IMU stream is not working well on latest versions
