v3.8.0-rc1 - ASAM OSI "Krisp Kobayashi" Release Candidate 1

Pole P(OSI)tion!

This is a release candidate of OSI, not an official release. If no final changes are needed, it might be promoted to an official release upon confirmation by the ASAM TSC.

Purpose

This minor release contains a number of incremental enhancements and improvements:

• The core OSI protobuf definitions and the language-specific bindings and modules have been split out to separate repositories, allowing easier maintenance and evolution of language-specific features.
• New multi-channel trace file format based on MCAP for easier data storage and interchange
• Adopted the ASAM OpenX harmonized vehicle types
• Added tail light to vehicle classification/light state
• Added model_reference attribute to RoadMarking
• Added road type to logical lanes
• Improved python bindings via pyi_out option of protoc
• Various improvements to OSI rule definitions for new qc-osi-trace checker bundle
• Improved specification of BaseMoving reference system
• Added documentation of Tait-Bryan convention and quaternion formula

Beyond that, many clarifications, improvements in definitions and documentation, enhanced installation information and enhanced Python support, including provisioning of Python packages on PyPI are key improvements in this release.
