AI Summary

This release focuses on fixing telemetry settings, depth image handling, and logging details. It addresses video rendering errors, RVL depth decoding issues, and improves viewer behavior for depth images and named-transform frames.

Key Highlights

Fixed video rendering errors causing black rectangles around video content
Fixed RVL depth decoding for non-quantized images
Fixed image planes not working correctly in named-transform frame scenarios
Restored depth image visualizers to 2D views and added a dataloader for encoded depth images

New Features

Added dataloader for encoded depth image (enables log_from_file and dragdrop functionality)
