Release Notes

1.4.0 Release

  • TODO

1.3.0 Release

  • This release of NVIGI includes a significant upgrade to how the SDK pack is laid out and organized. The Plugin SDK is now the top-level directory, and the existing 3D Sample has now been moved into the same directory tree and build solution as all of the command-line samples. This simplifies the build, run and debugging workflow for the 3D sample, making it a first-class citizen of the SDK.

1.2.0 Release

  • We are investigating a potential issue on some configurations where the 3D Sample can crash the first time a model is loaded. If you hit this problem, please reboot and rerun the sample.

  • The models for the Riva Magpie Flow TTS plugins are shipped in the pack itself; we expect that in future releases, the models will be downloadable via the download_data.bat script.

  • The previous ASquaredFlow TTS model has been updated and is now known as “Riva Magpie-TTS-Flow”. The plugin itself retains the original name to avoid problems for existing applications. However, the new model must be used, as the ones shipped with the 1.1.1 release are no longer compatible with the updated plugin.

  • This release adds Vulkan and D3D12 GGML backend plugins for ASR and GPT; they are experimental and not intended for production use. They allow GPU GPT and ASR on general GPU architectures/vendors.

  • This release adds Vulkan support to the 3D Sample via the -vk command-line option; it is experimental and not intended for production use. It allows the sample to run on general GPU architectures/vendors.

  • The D3D12 GGML plugins (ASR and GPT) are not currently rebuildable from source. They are available precompiled in the nvigi_pack only. Source builds required the DLLs to be copied from a binary pack.

  • This release adds a GGML-based ASquaredFlow TTS plugin for running Riva Magpie-TTS-Flow on GGML. This plugin required the renaming of the existing TRT-based ASquaredFlow plugin (was nvigi.plugin.tts.asqflow.trt.dll) to nvigi.plugin.tts.asqflow-trt.dll. Note this when copying the DLLs, especially if a 1.1.1 release was in use prior to this release. Delete any old nvigi.plugin.tts.asqflow.trt.dll files before copying the new DLLs.

1.1.1 Release

  • This release is intended to add the AsqFlow TTS plugin.

  • Currently, AsqFlow TTS plugin is not compatible with CiG on Blackwell architecture. This issue will be resolved in the next release.
